Stocking Up!

I worked my patooty off up at the cabin!  I took up about 400#'s of tomatoes and made sauce and my homemade Rotel.  I've been making both up at the cabin for about 10 years now and boy do I have a system.  Tomatoes in the Kitchen Aid strainer, the Squeezo and the Foley Mill...yep, there's 3 of us working from sun up to sun down...balls to the wall!!  AND we do this 2 more times towards the end of tomato harvest.  My son and husband are commercial tomato growers...we have an early harvest, mid-harvest and then the late harvest.  These tomatoes were the early harvest.  My friend Paula brought up about 50#'s of pickling cucumbers and made some awesome horseradish/garlic pickles.

Profits on The Ground: ARGGGGG!

Sounds like a great time with the tomatoes, though work. Too bad about the stink, but in the end you will have a great place again.
