Hello everyone.
I just wanted to toss out a Website for my Son for his popcorn Sales. He's a Webelo this year in the scouts, and of course, yet again, every year the Scouts sale Popcorn cause this is their ONLY Fundraiser they do every year, and this year they decided to try some Online popcorn Sales.
Well being a Blogger and an E-Mail Nut, I've decided to give it a go around and post my Sons Site so I can try and get him some Hits and sales to help him with his Scouts.
So if you click on the title of this Post, it will take you to his Scouts Popcorn page, you can check out all of the popcorn that they provide and have it all shipped right to you no matter where you live.
I hope that everyone will check out the site and try to order some popcorn if possible, and even go as far as forward this post to other friends and family as well to help promote my Sons popcorn sales.
This means alot to him and he's looking forward to getting some great rewards, so All of your help is appreciated in advanced.
Thanks,
Handi

Canning - Tomato Juice
Canning. Does anyone can every year or season? What do you can? Beans? Corn? Sauces? Jams and Jellys? Juices?
Last night I had what felt like close to 10lbs of Tomatos. Give or take a few lbs.
I boiled and canned all of my Tomatos lastnight so they wouldn't go bad. I got more yield from my Tomato plants this year then what I had in the last 2 years which I'm grateful but would've been more grateful if I had more then what I did.
I Planted 12 Rutger Tomato plants. 8 of them did not do any good, the remaining 4 I Planted here at my house, and they took off like wildfire. Maybe it was the soil, maybe it was the sun, I don't know, but I had more from those 4 then I had in a long time.
I only had enough Tomatos to Process 4 Pints of Juice. It's well under what I wanted for the season, but I guess I'll have to do with what I have, maybe next year things will be better.
For anyone who is interested, here is the recipe I use to can and process my Juice.
Tomatos
Pickling/Canning Salt
Pint Jars
Water Bath Canner or any Kettle
Quarter up your Tomatos, Core them and cut bad spots out.
Take about 1/4 of the quarter up Tomatos and blend them to make juice.
Pour in a kettle with the Quartered Tomatos and start boiling with lid off, the object is to boil off the water to thicken the juice.
If you wanted added flavor, add Carrots, Celery, Peppers or other veggies.
Boil for an hour until the quartered tomatos are soft. Put in a Food Mill and seperate the juice from the skin and seeds. If you got a Juicer, you can juice them the modern way.
Put juice without the skin and seeds back in the kettle and boil for another 5 to 10 minutes or until thickness is desired. If you wante Tomato Paste, boil til thick.
In the mean time, if you have a dishwasher, Sani-wash your jars to heat them up, on a side burner, heat up the lids and have your water bath up and ready.
Ladle in your Juice or paste into 1 Pint Jars to about 1/2 to 1/4 head room, put 1/4 tsp. Pickling Salt in each Jar, Put on lid, screw it on til its a little firm, then another 1/4 turn there after and toss into the water bath canner.
Process in Boiling water for 10 to 15 minites, Pull out and put on Towls overnight, check lids to see if it's sealed, if not refridgeate it.
That's all there is to it. Enjoy your Juice!

I'm A Food Blog
Come check this Blog out for them who are interested in some Home Making of Cheese and Bacon and some other stuff. Click the title of the Post and it will take you to the blog!
Revamped
I've been Playing around with Google Blogger and seen that they had some new features to the Blog. Some of which I've been wanting to impliment into my Blog for sometime, and that's Columns.
Well Finaly I'm able to get my wish. I revamped the site and got close to what I wanted for a blog with the columns. So I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do lol.
More to come in the near future or latter future when i get a wild hair to write something.

Baseball
Well... I know it's been along time since I've posted. Matter fact it appears that it's been at Damians 3rd game of the Season since I last posted.
Well the season is already over, has been for a month maybe a little longer, Damian's team won 5 games of the 10 Played which wasn't bad at all. Not bad for a First timer Little Leaguer either.
Unfortunatly he did not make it into the tournement, they Played one last time to try and make it into the tournement but but didn't make it. But that's ok, i'm still proud of him for trying and getting as far as he did with what little training and practice that he had.
