Connecticut is looking at 6”s of snow followed by ice. Well, it is New England in the winter. My father always called snow the poor man’s fertilizer.

I still have some tomatoes in the freezer waiting to be made into soup. I cold snowy day seems about right to pull some out and remember last summer. Too bad that My Woodchuck got my green beans and kale!

Never saw a woodchuck in these parts till last year, but he sure is a hungry critter! I’m hoping he’s moved on, but I know he’s just waiting for that delicate Spring lettuce to be ready. Then he’ll show me he’s still here!

I still have some tomatoes in the freezer too. I think I am going to try to make a small batch of low sodium ketchup and spaghetti sauce, if I can find a recipe.

I really like cream of tomato soup too. So might search for a low sodium variety. I stay within the the AHA’s target range for sodium, but at the higher end, and was thinking that taking it down a notch would help my Blood Pressure.

Hubby already tells me “it needs salt” most of the time, but now that I am used to this level, I don’t notice it.
