Notes: (1)We aren't likely to be making a high volume of Ketchup. Ever. In fact, this weekend's production will be the Year's Supply. (2) We are also not likely to be giving this away. (3) We appreciate more fully all the Ketchup we have been eating over the years. As moderate Ketchup users, we added a dollop without a thought as to what went into it. (4) I think we use "less" because we know more fully what goes into it. (5) If this is like last year's Ketchup, it will be just fantastic. You can't buy this stuff in the store. (6) I am drawn to seeing "relationships in Nature". What is going on during the season of Harvest of the produce of a particular plant? When you look outside this Window, you will observe that Bidens (or Spanish Needles) is blooming in profusion. Spanish Needles time is the time of Ketchup Making, or at least it was this year. (7) In 2009, we were remodeling. That Window Sill that you see will soon be painted 1 or 2 more coats; the Dining Room is becoming our own.

It may be a lot of work, but at least you are in control of the ingredients. I'm sure YOURS doesn't have High Fructose Corn Syrup (ugh)
