A Tomato Saturday

I should proabably taken a picture of all the tomatoes on my counter before I messed with them today, but I didn't. I peeled and cut up most of the tomaatoes that Melany had brought me. I made one miscut whille cutting out the stem part of the tomato. I had just dipped the tomato in hot water, peeled the skin off and then was attempting to cut out the stem part...well, I was holding the tomato in my hand and my knife slipped and I managed to cut my thumb. I did this in the afternoon and since then I have had trouble doing tasks keeping my thumb out of the way. I ended up putting on a glove (leftover from Woody's dialysis supplies) so I could finish peeling and cutting up the tomatoes...seemed like it took forever! I ended up with two quarts of cut up tomatoes. I have put them in the refrigerator and will make the enchilada sauce when I am fresher...hopefully tomorrow after church. I have my thumb bandaged with a folded gauze square and tape...again from Woody's dialysis supplies. I wanted it padded at the start, but will change to a bandaid to make it less clumsy now that I'm not cooking cutting, washing dishes, etc. It is my left thumb, but it is surprising how much I want to use it! I managed to do the dishes without getting it wet. This morning I worked on setting up my serger to do a rolled hem. I have a tablecloth that Kathy has aksed me to change the length of it. I haven't changed the serger to do a rolled hem in I don't know how long. But I have been successful. I got the amount I am to cut off both ends of the tablecloth marked with pins. It is on the sewing cutting table awaiting the next steps to be done. Kathy needs this by the middle of August for a conference. She asked me months ago to do this...so I had best get going on it so she will have it in time. Joy was supposed to come sit over here while her family went someplace this afternoon. But in the end they decided that she would be okay to stay at home, since Graham would be in and out. Sounds like she slept through most of the time they were gone. But "perhaps" a good sign since they felt it was okay for her to be by herself for part of the time. Hopefully the sleep is helping her brain to heal! The other part of my tomato Saturday was that I had a BLT for supper...so good using homegrown tomatoes! I still have some tomatoes left that I have picked from my vines that are finishing ripening on my counter. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
