I canned the last of the Zucchini Pepper Relish yesterday after my physical therapy session. My session went well, and Jenna was very happy I hadn't done anything to my new knee, so she didn't scold me. I couldn't ride the stationary bike, but did everything else she asked of me. Of course, she took into account the condition of "BoB" before she gave me each task so I wouldn't make it worse.
When all was said and done, I had ten and a half more pints for the pantry. After I finished processing the relish, I grated (in my now-vintage Cuisinart™) enough zucchini to freeze in two cup batches for future zucchini bread. I placed the grated veg on the baking trays I bought that fit perfectly on the shelf in our freezer half of the refrigerator and put them on the shelf until this morning.
Today, I'll vacuum seal each batch for the downstairs freezer. We have two small zucchini left that I'll keep to use for upcoming dinners, so I'm finished with the canning for this week. I still have a canning To Do List, but that's for another day.
I leave for work mid-afternoon, so I'm planning to stitch until around 2 pm. Then, I'll get ready for my shift being well-rested. I'd say I've been pretty productive this week - even with a new (but fading) injury. It's not as bad as it was a few days ago, so that's a really great thing.
Once again, the weekend is here before we know it. I have plans to see my brother this weekend, and I can't wait to tell you all about that! Have a great Friday, friends. I'll see you tomorrow!
Oh yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't injure your knee too bad.
Have fun with your brother.

Sounds like you escaped the shaming from Jenna and I'm sure you were relieved. Your knee must be feeling better if you were able to process all that relish (it sure does look good!).
ReplyDeleteGlad your knee is responding well and that you can continue to be productive! And that you have a lovely weekend planned!
