Highlights:
- Picking tomatoes, basil, jalapenos, broccoli (I couldn't eat the broccoli... when I was cleaning it I found a bright green worm, so I searched carefully through it all, or so I thought. After I cooked it in the microwave and dumped it in the serving bowl I saw another worm. Cooked. Just couldn't do it. But Pete ate it. Ewww.)
- Seeing The Time Traveler's Wife. I was an interesting movie, but really weird. I wouldn't highly recommend it.
- Spending time with hubby cutting up lots of veggies, skinning tomatoes.
- Pete making salsa. Doesn't it look yummy?
- Bonfire with Mike & Jen. Love just relaxing by the fire and talking with good friends.
- Worshiping with our awesome church family. It did feel a little strange to have gone from 6 in our family at worship last week to just the 2 of us. Good thing I'm crazy in love with that husband of mine.
- Shopping in St. Cloud with that husband of mine.
- Being spontaneous at 8:30 at night (really a radical thing for us to do) and inviting friends over to watch Secondhand Lions. If you haven't seen it, you should rent it. It's a great movie!
- Making spaghetti sauce. Man it tastes good. I can't wait to add some spicy Italian sausage to it, cook up some pasta, and eat it along with a tossed salad and some garlic bread. Mmm.

What a fun weekend! Yep, I have a busy week of cooking up garden stuff before it spoils (more).
A tip for the broccoli worms - when you pick it, soak it in the sink with some salt water. I just dump like a 1/2 - 1 T of salt in while I'm filling the sink. That helps them let go of it. Those little guys hide well
Ditto on the salt water trick. Also on the movie. I kind of got lost until Meg explained something to me.
Thanks for the tip for those icky worms Jenny and Sandy. I'll get the salt out next time!
Sandy -- I assume you mean "The Time Travelers Wife"? It was a smidge confusing what with the whole time travel thing and all. :)
Just to be clear - I ate the broccoli, not the worm.
Pete -- How do you KNOW you didn't eat a worm? I bet you did....
Can you share your salsa and sauce recipes? Also, do you freeze the salsa? It all looks so yummy!
