Tomatoes everywhere

Today, I bought a peck of tomatoes from a local Amish person, and I've put half of them to good use, making tomato sauce. I can't decide whether I should make more sauce or just some salsa with the remaining tomatoes. I assume I should weigh them first to see how much I have. I bought a food mill the other day, which really came in handy with this recipe.

As soon as the water starts boiling for the canning to take place, I'll be making the meatloaf that I'm going to freeze for my mother, in the event that she will need chemo. I'm trying to get some things in the freezer or canned for her to make life easier. Unfortunately, the pressure canner that Sedwick bought me for my birthday is in MA, and so most of what I make will have to be frozen. That limits how much I can contribute, since my parents have two refrigerators, but only the freezers that go with those. Nonetheless, I made pesto and put that in the freezer the other day. I also made a pecan pesto as a sauce for on fish and chicken, and that is also in the freezer. I am planning on finding a couple more sauces that they can just throw over chicken, fish, and pork. I will make veggie-beef soup tomorrow. I think I'll be making something (not sure what yet) wednesday, and I've planned with my sister to make up a major load of meatballs on Thursday.

In the meantime, I need to make a video of my nephews to send to their grandmother in Poland, set up my nephew's computer, do some more scrapbooking with my niece, pack my car, have two dentist appointments, plan a birthday party, pick blueberries with a friend, etc. It's getting slightly overwhelming. I'm looking forward to getting settled in MA in a week.
