Still canning

Small canned tomatoes
Originally uploaded by In Shaw

Though it has been getting colder, I still have tomatoes on the vine. I cut away a bunch of vines, gave away a bunch of green tomatoes, and took in the ones that turned red or yellow. The ripe ones I roasted and canned.
But this time I didn't use the big canner. I used my regular big pot, that I normally cook huge batches of rice or soup in, and some 1/2 pint Ball jars. Because of the size of them I can 'can' these small batches.
I have been enjoying the things I'd canned earlier in the summer and early fall. Yesterday I took out some canned cherries (also in a 1/2 pint jar) heated them up in the microwave, put them in the middle of some smooth yogurt and sprinkled on some maple granola. Good eatin'.

History, me complaining, history, stuff about the immediate hood (Truxton Circle) and the surrounding neighborhood (Shaw), gentrification, demographics, and some more history.

In Shaw (now with more gentrification) is about the changes going on in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC. Mainly the eastern section of the neighborhood that is still "transitional". Topics range from horrid community meetings, to culture clashes, to remodeling and the unromantic view of living in an old house. This Old House, bite me! Please note that this is a personal blog and does not represent anyone else's opinion except my own, not my employer, not my universities, not that of my family, church, friends or neighbors. Just me, so I retain the right to post or not to post any irresponsible tripe that comes into my head.
