Farmer's market proved to be once again a bounty of yummy things. I bought zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, salad mix, peaches, strawberries, Honey-O melon, apples, Flathead cherries, beans, onions, corn, celery, butter, cheese, and a pork roast.
Today I blanched beans and sugar snap peas and froze them for use over winter. Blanching, I have found, to be the easiest way to preserve foods. I will probably do so with kale and Swiss chard. I just wish I could preserve other foods better. My mom used to make canned preserves with the paraffin wax top the USDA says isn't safe anymore. I don't have a pressure cooker and canning seems a bit daunting at this point.
Lastly, I succumbed to chicken eggs. I bought 6 Easter Egger and 4 Blue Orpington eggs for about $4.74 plus shipping. We'll see...
