Leftover Tomatoes

I had about five pounds of tomatoes left after making two batches of salsa. Not enough for another batch, but too many to eat before they went bad. I decide to make canned tomatoes. I boiled the tomatoes and whole and crushed them. I added about 6 gloves of garlic minced and let them boil for about five minutes.
I prepared 3 pint jars. I used italian seasoning in two of them and made the other just plain. You put whatever seasoning you want in the bottom of each jar along with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Ladle hot tomatoes on top.
I processed them for 30 minutes. I hope them turn out. Next time I will make some with mexican seasoning and maybe even cajun.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
