This weekend it was suggested to me that I learn to make my own ketchup!
So I went to my most trusted copycat recipe website (where I found a spot-on recipe for Mac sauce) and found a copycat recipe for Heinz Ketchup (because I'm a ketchup snob).
What I don't have in my house is white vinegar, tomato paste and light corn syrup. I did, however, decide that I have ample brown sugar to substitute and hope that it will do well in place of the corn syrup. So, as long as the cost is lower than an actual bottle of ketchup, I am going to buy white vinegar and tomato paste to attempt a budget-friendly substitute. If it costs more than a bottle of ketchup, then I will be definitely forfeiting ketchup for the rest of Lent. :)
I was about to head out the door before the grocery stores close in Hagersville when I noticed my purse wasn't here. It's in Reuben's car. In Caledonia. So I am forced to wait yet another day or two before picking up groceries. :)
I was sent home with a loaf of bakery bread and a veggie tray left over from this weekend's retreat, so I'm sure I'll be good for a while anyway.
