Written by Diana - September 5, 2010 0 Comments

We just got back from the farm markets with tomatoes we’re going to start canning soon. I need to hit the kitchen hard cleaning up before we can start though. I’m posting some Labor Day Cocktails so you can stock up on the right alcohol when you hit the stores today, because we know everyone needs to find some time to settle down and relax, no matter how much you work this weekend. I’ll have more coming besides this because I have some great stuff I want to try out, so stay tuned. Here’s the first round of Labor Day Cocktails.
