We are learning to Knit!

Last week Sister Smith came and taught us how to start knitting and we get to do it again this week! Be sure not to miss it because there is a lot more to learn. If you didn't get a chance to come last week still come. We can catch you up no problem! Heather lives on the southwest corner of 400 E and 200 S

Salsa Making Activity!

Sister Mackay is kind of fantastic. That's all I have to say.

Annie's Salsa

Here is Sister Mackay's legendary salsa recipe if you didn't get a chance to make it to enrichment last week:

23 - 25 medium tomatoes
3 large onions
2 large green peppers
2 large red peppers
1 jalapeno pepper
1 cup white vinegar
4 tsp black pepper
4 tsp garlic salt
4 tsp salt
3 TB cornstarch
1 12-oz can of tomato paste

1 Blanch and peel tomatoes.

2 Cut and squeeze most of the juice out, this will make it thicker

3 Chop onions, peppers and remove the seeds from the jalapeno.

4 Add all this plus the other ingredients to an 8 qt pot, stirring often so it doesn't burn, until vegies are soft, about 20 minutes.

5 Blend in a blender or use a stick blender which is a very handy gadget to have.

6 Pour into pint jars.

7 Process in a hot water bath, boiling for 20 minutes.


P.S. Annie taught us that blanching means you put them in boiling water for a few minutes (just until the skin starts to crack). The skin comes right off after this! It's amazing!
PPS. You can also try blanching brocolli if you want it to look really green. Interesting fact of the day.

Jogging

We are discontinuing the running group. I know it's sad but if you would like a jogging or walking buddy of some sort please let us know and I'll see what I can hook you up with. Also if there is any interest in training for a race with a group put in a good word. This could be so fun! However unless there is a big response I might just put off seriously considering this idea until Spring. Happy exercising!
