so today liz sent me a message about smart tiles, which i’ve now been obsessed with figuring out what i want to put in my kitchen. i’ll need 37 sheets of the stick-on backsplash tiles to do my entire kitchen under-cabinet area. i can’t decide on what color scheme and type i should put on it though.

i really like the shape of the white ones and the idea of white. the top option picks out my kitchen colors really well; however, i think it’s too busy. so, the bottom one, even though it’s not the shape i’d prefer, has a little more interest than the white ones. 
i got samples of the bottom two to be sent to me. home depot sells these in 6 packs. weirdly enough, the top option is on sale right now for half price, and i could buy my 37 tiles for $120. sadly, i’m not sold on the pattern. grrrr.

tonight i made tomato sauce with the rest of my tomatoes and some peppers, onions, green beans, garlic, and carrots.
my parents’ neighbor has an apple tree, and i told my dad that if the neighbor is just going to let those apples sit on the tree, that i will take them and make it worth his while. plus i still have about 1/3 of the bucket of apples from my craigstlist adventure. i don’t know if i should make more applesauce, some apple crisp, or an apple pie. 
speaking of pie, i have to render my lard this weekend! we’ll see if this weekend ends up being as productive as last weekend (unlikely). i’ll be happy if i get the lard done, though.
