1. Canning with 2 children 2 and under is like conducting a 3 ring circus; hard but not impossible
2. Peaches go a long way in canning. (I ran out of jars)
3. Peaches are actually very easy to can.
4. Salsa is a lot of work, not as hard as I thought, but still a lot of work.
5. Zucchini in salsa doesn't change the taste, it just makes it chunkier.
6. When cutting hot peppers make sure you have gloves. If you forgot to grab them when you are at the store...by all means take the time to get them.
7. The oil from 7 jalapenos and 1 banana pepper on your bare skin really burns bad.
8. Washing your hands with salt, baking soda, milk, soap, or rubbing alcohol to get the oil off, stops the burning for a few minutes.
9. The only thing that stopped the burning was burn relief with Lidocain.
10. Even 2 year olds can help you, just be prepared for a larger mess than you wanted.

Liz, I wish we were closer so we could become good friends. You are AMAZING! Really. Did everything you can come from your garden? And you did it with two kids! I'm very impressed with all your home making/ home improvement skills. Can I be you when I grow up?? :) Thanks for sharing!
