Wish me luck tomorrow I'm off to the farm market them I'll start canning salsa. Yet again I'll need to can more this year If 75 quarts isn't enough next year the guys fend for themselves

Apparently, I missed a day somewhere, as I heard on the news earlier that today was actually day 67 of trip digit temps… It reached 100 today, just before the skies finally opened up with some much-needed rain (51 days of almost immeasurable rainfall)…!!!

Sooooo…..
Day 67…!!!

Here's an easier idea for you--just pick up a few bottles of this. It's my favorite jar brand -- Tostitos mild salsa.

Does it come in 25 gallon containers?

The bottle I buy is 15 ounces. Perhaps Figgy might have to go through a restaurant supply company, to get larger sizes?

We like this brand. It is Rick Bayless' brand, he has a restaurant at Disney Springs and he used to have a cooking show on PBS.

Back in the day I worked manual labor in a factory . A food truck came several times a day , everyday selling food drink and fresh hot coffee. The owner operator knew us by name so at times he kept a running tab and we paid him on Friday which was payday. I worked with a lot of Latino immigrants ( very hard working peers ). At that job I spoke and understood more Spanish than English which helped improve my second language.

One of my (previous) office job locations, actually had an in-house coffee service. (At the time, I worked in a very tall office building, and the coffee people would come up on the elevators with a coffee cart, with drinks, breakfast pastries, etc., in the morning. Very convenient!)

So, I finished one design and started another before I left the office today.
We already did about a $4 million house for the client a little while ago. He’s into cryptocurrency, and somehow hasn’t lost his rear, apparently.
He bought the lot next door with an existing home that’ll be totally razed. He wants a very contemporary home that’ll also be an entertainment space, along with offices and a conference room/workspace on the upper floor, and pretty much a full-blown spa on the lower floor. He also wants the 2 structures to be connected by a breezeway that can be removed later. But, he also wants it to be “house” enough for resale later…definitely a recurring theme, these days.
It’ll be a total of 4 levels, including, get this…a helipad on the top level…!!!!!!!
It’s out in the county (Travis), so it’s legal there.
Gonna’ be A LOT of structural steel in this one…!!!!!

This little pop-up storm that just passed packed a punch…we desperately need the rain, though…!!!
