Oh, and apparently I am more forgetful than I thought.. day 1 I had also received a bag of the BBQ Smartfood but forgot to mention it, duh! Guess I can't walk from the den to the living room without forgetting something! Will post photos on day 3, went to take a picture of day 1 last night and dead batteries. Close call as the BF came out with the Smartfood bag when we were starting our movie.. and I said back that truck up there mister, I haven't taken a photo yet. Go find something else to snack on...

Needless to say, I didn't receive the most loving of looks...

Have a great day everyone, thank goodness for air conditioned workplaces.. I practically melted on my 5 minute commute, already 34 with the humidex, and supposed to be like 45 by this afternoon!

OOOPS!!! that is green tomato chow - famous in the maritimes. Great with fish and potatoes, green beans, yellow beans, hubby says its good with stew too.

Here is a link and recipe for it
http://monctongarden.com/2011/09/06/...n-tomato-chow/

Nova Scotia Green Tomato Chow

Ingredients:

• 16 cup green tomatoes
• 8 cups onions
• ½ cup salt
• 3 cup vinegar
• 6 cups sugar
• ½ cup pickling spice
• 1 tsp celery seed

Preparation:

• In a food processor, finely slice green tomatoes and onions. Place in a large pot and sprinkle with salt. Let sit overnight covered.

• Drain all the liquid from the pot and rinse. Add the vinegar, sugar, turmeric, dry mustard, celery seed, and pickling spice (make small bag with cheese cloth tied with cooking twine).

http://monctongarden.files.wordpress...pg?w=300&h=227

• Cook for about an hour, stirring often, until soft and thickened.

• Pour into hot sterile mason jars. Remove any air bubbles if they are present.

http://monctongarden.files.wordpress...pg?w=300&h=227

• With a clean damp cloth, wipe the rims of the jars. Put on sanitized lids and rings, but do not over-tighten. Return full jars into boiling water for 15 minutes to finish cooking and to seal the jars.

I made a list :cheesygrin:, than I misplaced my list:eek:. Now I am just as surprised each day as my buddy:shock:.

LOL Its exactly as it sounds the next set of package trains start as soon as this one if over, Im hosting the shoebox one, and Momof2k's is hosting the back to school train
Its pretty much no price limit, and just whatever you can get into the shoe box :cheesygrin:
Im excited, and nervous at the same time ha.. I hope I can live up to all you other great package train conductors :flowers:

Thanks Bluz, I knew I saw onions, and thought maybe tomato seeds but its not red.. so I figured green tomatoes. Looks awesome, can't wait!

Umm, the only gift I remembered is day one for my buddy, the rest are all a blur now...

I just went back and reread the pages that I missed. wow, the stories have been so honest and so open. thank you ladies for sharing. it makes what is happening in my life seem so small which is a good thing. sometimes I feel like the world is crashing around me but really, it isn't. it just feels like that in the moment.

I had yet another "friend" tell my ex lies about me...telling him that he was a rebound and that I'm a psychopath that goes around a hurts people. ugh. I'm just tired of these "friends". I guess I'm starting to see true colours.

This heat is insane. I want to punch it in the face...but I digress.

Opened up some scrapbooking stuff yesterday! :) and today I got a lovely owl bag and bookmark! Love Love Love them!!! :)
Thanks so much - will try and post pics later!

Today I received a beautiful matching set of necklace and earrings from chesterjes! They are gor...geous!!! I can't wait to wear them to work in September. Aren't the awesome!?...
