I had a great couple of days working with my good friend, Laura, on some food storage! We went down to the Dallas Farmers Market and got some great deals on Tomatoes ($12.50 for 25 lbs, 4=100 lbs of tomatoes) and Strawberries ($5.50/flat, 12=96 lbs of berries), plus $7 for a 50 lb bag of those awesome purple Onions, and we bought all the other supplies we'd need for Salsa. Then we spent the next two days blanching, saucing, freezing, drying, jamming, and everything else you can imagine. Here is the end result of all our hard work. And the best part is that it came out to about $1/item (Bag of frozen berries, jar of Salsa, etc).
