* Turning 40 really isn't stressful, since the entire year before when I told people I was 39, they thought I was really 40 and just lying about my age.
* Some people are takers. Other people are givers. And a "giving" grandmother will send you home with 4 boxes of cucumbers from her garden and call a few days later to see if you need more.
* We are having to prioritize canned tomato items this year as the tomatoes are so late. Apparently salsa trumps everything, with chunky tomato sauce as a close second. We think we'll have an easier time finding canned tomatoes without additives than salsa or tomato sauce without additives, because the person who is in charge of grocery shopping and our no-processed-foods diet (namely, me) failed to take helpful notes on such things.......
* The majority of the birthday cards I receive talked about drinking wine. Obviously, I am not a "woman of mystery" to my friends.........
* Apples have a pretty decent shelf life, and can wait a few days before being made into apple butter. I have never before realized what a wonderful trait that is.
* Getting water in under the knobs of a gas stove can cause some interesting electrical arcing. And Sears has a large supply of gas stove replacement parts. Both are good to know.....

I did not know that about gas stoves - have never experienced it myself. But then, I don't clean much. Re apples, I have been known to buy "winter" apples and leave them in the garage for months before using them. Of course, that won't work until the temperatures cease reaching 90. Gah. Isn't today the first day of FALL?!?
Very good things to know.
Yes, canned tomatoes come with the Ingredients: tomatoes
