Just call me Susie.

Susie freakin homemaker, that is. That's right, I'm back. Miss me? I know you did. If you didn't...why are you reading this? That's what I thought. So, since my husband has been home (which is why I haven't blogged in however many months), I've been kinda busy baking...a baby. Recently I decided to take on yet another crazy task...healthy food! Woo! So I decided, hey, why don't I start canning my own stuff? Then I can make a garden! How hard can it be? Well, I am about to find out. So far, I am so fucking confused. I figured I would start easy. I have some...ok, a lot, of extra peaches from our bountiful basket we got. I have read so many ways to preserve these, my head is swimming. So I'm going to do what I do best and wing it. I can do this, right? Right. Challenge accepted. Then Im going to make pickles! And speaking of making pickles...what the HELL is the difference between a regular cucumber and a pickling cucumber? Why do we need special fruits and veggies now? I wanna do something with the shit I have on hand...not go buy 50 pickling cucumbers! So eff the pickling cucumbers. How bad could this possibly turn out? And why do I need all these special tools? A pressure canner? Why can't I put the damn things in my massive pasta pot? Special jar grabbers? Hello, I have tongs! Never fear guys, I am going at this armed with a fire extinguisher and a lot of aloe vera lotion, just in case the peaches and pickles get the best of me. Peace out girl scout!
