Saturday the Owen girls decided we would try and be a little domestic. Emily had bought some potatoes from Grace, ID so we thought we would try and can them. How hard could it be right? We started bright and early!
First, Lucy and I had to run to the pan sale at the school. They have really fabulous knifes.
Since Lucy stole my potato peeler, (she lies and says she didn't)
we both got a really nice, new potato peeler. They had a lot of cool things but we needed to get back.
At home we were trying to figure out what would be the best way to cut up the potatoes.
Well they had these fabulous apple slicers at the pan sale, so back in the car we go!
Finally we started. It took us all day. Peeling, cutting, cooking, and then the pressure cooking.
Just when we thought we were finished, the propane ran out.
It was a long day but I love hanging out with the Owen girls.
I learned so much. It was a lot of work but I love the way all those bottles look in our pantry. In the end we had 150 bottles. That is awesome.
(P.S. Kevin bought a really cool cake decorating kit at the pan sale. I know kind of funny but he does such a good job, so let us know if you need him to show off his skills.)

Holy cow! 150. I had no idea that you could can potatoes. That is interesting, it sounds like a ton of work.
I really have to redeem myself. I did not steal her potatoe peeler, a dear friend named Carol Seamons gave me a knife and peeler set, and Amy tried to claim it for herself, and now it is gone and I believe she stole it. love you Amy, but you are the theif!
