Busy Week

Well, it's time for summer school to begin tomorrow. It officially began today, but my classes start tomorrow. In order to get everything ready, I've been writing syllabi and making jam (after all, I'll have less time once classes start). Yesterday I made 97 jars of strawberry, and today I made 15 jars of no sugar added strawberry and 40 jars of peach. Whew! Thank goodness I have a system for it all!

I've also been playing around a bit with fresh veggies from the garden. Yesterday I had tiny yellow squash and zucchini, which I sauteed with new green onions, olive oil, and creole seasoning (yum!) and boiled new potatoes with basil. Most people like parsley on their potatoes, but it's basil that I adore!

What can I say, I adore basil! Tonight we had BBTs--that's bacon, basil, and tomato sandwiches on my homemade basil-garlic bread. Lovely! Tomorrow, it's smoked turkey and swiss with basil--I haven't decided which bread yet, however. Decisions, decisions!
