So that's why I'm not eating a ton of tomatoes yet...and a weekend to-do list

This whole time I thought my tomatoes weren't ripe because the Pacific Northwest has been had a total of 300 minutes of temps above 80 degrees.  How wrong I was!

No, my tomatoes aren't ripe yet, because they're all busy recovering from botched c-sections...

First tomato of the season!

Enjoyed as the world's tiniest caprese salad (accompanied by my dad's awesome grass-fed burger.  I'm convinced he puts crack in his burgers because they're SO GOOD).  I savored all 3 bites.

This summer, I'm fortunate enough to get my work week done in 4 days.  It gives me Fridays off, which saves money in gas, and gives me more time at home with Jack.  It also gives the hyper type-A portion of my brain an extra day for more projects.  Cause I need more projects like Jack needs more energy.

To do's for this weekend

Friday
  • Take Jack to the dentist
  • Hit up the grocery store
  • Hit up the fruit stand.  Get new fruit and pay my fruit debt from last week.  HA!
  • Hit up Goodwill.  Momma needs some more jars and pie pans for freezer food!
  • Make granola.  The recipe will be forthcoming
  • Make more pesto
  • Make mayo.  If this doesn't taste like monkey butt, I'll share a recipe
  • Make dilly beans.  There will be a recipe.  Oh yes, there will be a recipe
Saturday
  • Jack and I are going to hit up the Farmer's market for some fall starts.  F'ing crows pulled out a ton of my seedlings.  Fuckers.
  • Hit up a park to ride the trains
  • Make bread
  • Make pizza dough for the freezer
  • Make pretzel rolls
  • Make fudge.  Stole a recipe from a blog hop this week, and I can't wait to try it out
 Sunday (a day of rest for more projects)
  • Family dinner
  • Finish up any projects that didn't get done on Friday or Saturday
  • Clean bathrooms
  • Vacuum
  • Mop
What about you guys?  What are you up to this weekend?

  1. FYI-You put me to shame! Dang! I love your enthusiasm though. I LOVE having Fridays off. I work M-TH and need that extra day to get stuff done.

    Fri-my daily cleaning, doctors appointment, grocery store, visit my gma, make spaghetti sauce, some to freeze and some for tonight, wash vehicles (I already cleaned them out yesterday. Now they need a good scrub.) Water plants.

    Saturday- Farmers Market, Sam's Club??, clean ha!, change oil in both mowers, can corn, laundry.

    Sunday- Church, clean, watch Nascar, do some weeding in the garden, and water everything if we don't get any rain.

    Nothing like your list, but it should keep me busy. I took down and washed all curtains yesterday, so I didn't have to do it this weekend. I also groomed my husbands dog, so that is off the list. Good LUCK!
