People of Jordan: Alicia

I decided it was about time to meet the new clerk at the Village Hall. So I stopped in, and Alicia greeted me with a smile. Alicia is the new Deputy Clerk Treasurer. She has worked here for 4 months, and she's getting used to small town politics. She enjoys interacting with different people everyday. She enjoys the small town feel. When I asked her about where she has worked before, she told me at a manufacturing plant in Syracuse. She said she worked with the quality control. They make different kinds of tomato sauce and purees. A thought suddenly occurred to me, so I asked her if it was the company that makes "Joey's", our favorite store-bought pasta sauce. It was! (I love Joey's Sauce!) Another interesting fact I discovered that she had danced a few years with my favorite ballet teacher! The song going through my head right now, is:

"It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all..."

Garden Delights!

Our tomatoes are ripening faster than we use them! So we have been making homemade sauce! :~D

We made smooth sauce the other day; today we made chunky!

 Here is the recipe! :) We made it in a stock pot this time instead of a frying pan. :)

We've also had an overabundance of zucchini! So we made pickled zucchini!! My Mom can't eat cucumbers because she is allergic to them, but she likes these because they taste just like pickles! I think she said they taste like Claussen. :~)
