Big freeze coming
I think I need to get all my pumpkins and green tomatoes picked today. It's warm, windy, and cloudy today, but I think it will rain tomorrow and probably we'll have a hard freeze tomorrow night and Friday night. It won't be so nice tomorrow to go our and harvest the garden remains.
I spent the morning running errands after dropping J off at preschool, ordering her school pictures, coming home to throw up, and resting a bit. After retrieving J, we went to the grocery store. I got a 12.7 pound turkey for under $2.42 because of a Thanksgiving promotion the supermarket is having. We don't like turkey very much, but at that price, we can tolerate it for a while.
For some reason, J has put on her swimsuit. We don't have a swimming pool, it's not summer, and as far as I'm concerned, it isn't warm enough to run around in my swimsuit. I don't understand why J wants hers on. I figure it's harmless compared to most of what she's been up to lately. Saturday, when I wanted her to wait five minutes before I took her out to paint at our picnic table, she went in the bathroom and fingerpainted with pump handsoap on the bathroom mirror. The night before she unloaded half a bottle of Dawn dish detergent into the dishwater, turning it quite blue.

What do you do with the green tomatoes? Do you make green tomato relish or fried green tomatoes?
My L likes to run around in swimmers when I'm wearing a jumper, I don't know how he doesn't freeze to death. He also gets up to mischief but usually with tools or I find him halfway up a tree :-)
I put the green tomatoes in a paper bag and hope they ripen into red tomatoes before they rot. I did make fried green tomatoes once this summer. Unfortunately, about 20 minutes after eating them, I threw every bit of them back up. I suspect my pregnant body thought they were poisonous.
It was 27°F this morning, and my daughter has put on a swimsuit again. She says she's pretending it's summer. She's staying in the house, though.
