New Blogging Tool

Next week I'm doing a bit of traveling and will only have my iPad with me. It occurred to me, "what if I want to post a new blog entry?" Lo and behold I just read an article touting Blogsy as the best blogging app available for the iPad! A quick trip to the Apple App Store, a short download, and Voila! I'm creating this post on my iPad. Very cool.

Now, I can easily post photos from the iPad's own photo roll, as well as photos from my Picassa account.

Pretty slick.

Now the important test: can I upload and publish this entry? If you're reading this...success!

More Canning Baby Steps

With an overabundance of tomatoes in the garden, especially a Roma variety, we decided to try our hand at canning some for a nice sauce. Wow, I had no idea it take so many 'maters to can a decent amount of them! Of course, exactly what constitutes a "decent amount"? Good question.

At any rate, after skinning and cooking the tomatoes down, adding some onions, mild Cubanelle peppers and celery, we only wound up with two and a half quarts. Still, it feels good to have a couple quarts in storage for a cold winter's day. 

Look pretty nice, don't you think?
