How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: We just slowly started collecting camping gear since Christmas. Many many many trips to REI. You can reserve your campsites at the DNR's website. Read how I did it…
It made me
pretty darn happy!

I would love to can all sorts of tomatoes. Diced, stewed, whole pretty much anything I would use for soup. Today I made some amazing pasta sauce using 2 28 oz cans of diced tomatoes and some soup with a 28 oz can of stewed tomatoes. It would be fun to be able to use my own cans.
