There is a method to the madness.....

Can we say obsession?  Rose geranium leaves are good for more things than bridal bouquets.

When I am not doing the autumn reset for the store, I have been deep in some kind of food preservation infatuation.

But what I really want to know is, whether it's tomato sauce or plums or green beans or blackberries,  how is it that my kitchen starts out all nice and tidy and organized 

And ends up some variation of this?
