{WIWS} Too Much Sauciness

Humor . What I Wore

Taking a break from the ratty t-shirt, smelly sneaker combo to bring you another episode of What I Wore Sunday chock full of sauciness and splatterings of tomato.

WIWS 8/11/13

Again, why is no one beating down my door for spokeswoman deals?! Yo Calphalon, this face sells! Palmolive, my hands are smokin’ hot too!

Shirt: Old Navy
Tank: Old Navy
Skirt: Target
Stockpot: Gift, probably purchased at Ollie’s, which currently has a layer of blackened tomatoes firmly cemented to the bottom.
Food Mill: Dani, do you need this back?? It is totally not filled with crusty tomato seeds or dried cricket remains. Let me know.

In part of my rush to over-achieve this week, I cleaned out our chest freezer and found at least 12 bags of peeled tomatoes from last summer. It was another glaring example of why I’m not cut out for homesteading. I hate “preparing the harvest” a.k.a. standing in a poorly air-conditioned kitchen boiling food and water for hours during the hottest part of the year. We had many more bags of tomatoes, but my father-in-law took it upon himself to make sauce several times last year for numerous dinners. (I’ll be darn sure he’s staying with us during the zombie apocalypse.)

Anywho, forced to deal with the multitude of produce (plus just as many bags of chicken giblets and assorted parts) I boiled down the tomatoes and finally made sauce to freeze because canning is just more heating and steaming and slopping and ohmyword just look at how messy my kitchen already is!!And it’s not like I would’ve thought to change out of my church clothes to do these messy things.

Despite the grueling, back-breaking labor involved,  I’ve got tasty sauce sure to soil the shirt of many a happy child. Or a sad one. No Alfredo option tonight honey. You savor this home-grown goodness. Savor it and cherish these memories to pass onto your own ungrateful children. This sauce was made with love!!! 

Good times all around.

For more stylish fashions sure to make you slop something down the front of your clean, white cardigan, visit the rest of the ladies at Fine Linen and Purple.

    Haha I used some of the sauce I had freezed from last year so that I could make room for new sauce with this year’s tomatoes. However, I did change before this little adventure.

    LOL on the sauce made with love. I always think that canning, while such a brilliant thing, is just not freaking practical in the heat of summer. So there. I would’ve made sauce too!

    You are darling.

    I like the IDEA of canning but am seriously intimidated by the reality of it. Freezing is not nearly as scary.

    Also, robin’s egg blue kitchen cabinets? LOVING IT.

    No alfredo option tonight “honkey”? Bahahahahahaha!!!! Best typo EVER.

      Uh, that was completely intentional. Honkey is one of my favorite terms of endearment. But since it makes Tony unhappy, I’ll change it.

    Love it! I am nervous about canning… prefer freezing. I mean, I would hate to be responsible for some food borne illness if I canned wrong… but could easily make a gumbo out of everything if the freezer went out!

    Best part… Savor it and cherish these memories to pass onto your own ungrateful children!!!

    Freezing food is one my all time fav activities ever. But, what I REALLY appreciate about this post is your kitchen cupboards. I LOVE that color!!!
