Well, Here I am at the end of the weekend and Im here to report what has been accomplished. 

Im off to bed after canning 7 pints of mango salsa and another jar in the refrigerator that was partly used on the dinner of baked chicken thighs. 
I couldn't find the exact recipe that I used the first time I made it so I really hope that this turns out remotely good.  Major ingredients include mangos, red onions, jalapenos, and bell peppers.

I canned the three pineapples that we had left and let me tell you, the general concensus between *M* and I is that I may not ever use canned pineapple ever again.   I am very thankful to my aunt who told me how to tell when the pineapples were ripe and then how to make sure that the juices were through out the pineapple.  I put a touch of sugar in but Im not really sure if I needed it at all or not. 

I baked chicken wrapped in fresh herbs, roasted the artichokes for dinner tomorrow night, along with roasting most of the garlic that I have around here at the moment. 

I also made English muffins for breakfasts. We will be eating those in the morning with the blackberry syrup that I made a couple months ago.

I also roasted the eggplant and the zucchini later this week. 

thanks for reading.
