I can't get my video to upload. I promise to post one of the "mystery tool" as soon as possible.
Today:
I passed a pop-up produce stand on the highway and saw peaches so I decided to stop. The guy was busy sorting out the bruised peaches in the 5-7 lb buckets and putting fresh peaches in their place.
Me: How much is a box of peaches?
guy: the 20-30lb boxes are $20...a great deal.
Me: OooH! that IS a great deal. Do you have any seconds to sell?
guy: Seconds?
Me: you know, the bruised ones. Usually growers will sell them at a discounted rate.
Guy:(looks at his box of unsatisfactory peaches, then looks at my minivan) Um...do you like, have a lot of kids in there, mam?
Me: What? well I have three...No wait. what? I can afford to buy the good ones, but I'm making jam, it doesn't matter if they're a little soft. Will you sell me those right there?
Guy: uh. here. you can just have them. I'll carry them to your van for you. Sorry about your kids.
Not sure if he ever understood, but whatever, I have 1/2 a box of peaches to make jam or syrup with today! Some aren't great, but most are in good shape! I bought a $5 basket from him also, just because I have "so many kids" and all.

Haha. Even having heard you tell the story, I was still stumped by your FB status. I must be on vacation...
That is funny. You are so awesome, I am literally impressed by your canning. I have not had the motivation this year.
