Wiping the dust off the canner

Well, it's that time again. Somehow my day seems to be slipping by without notice, but I am on it. Yup, today is day 1 of pickle making. I bought a whack of pickling cukes yesterday. At 1:30 I am finally ready to start, barring any distractions. Dill pickles should be setting up in shiny jars by the end of the day, with sweet pickles to be made shortly after (or tomorrow?). So no time for wasting; a pickling I go! Happy Six Word Saturday! Hope your day is a success.
is a 'whack' a technical term?
ReplyDeletei like pickles,
particularly on sandwiches
with peanut butter
which may be an odd
blend of textures
and flavors
but reminds me
of the one who
first fed them
to me.
(and i you dont like it
well i will just whack
you like a group of
pickling cucumbers...lol)
having a bit of fun with you. have a great day. i do like PBP sandwiches though...

Oh yum! One of these days, I will put my mind to preserving. Once again though - not this year. I know the day will come when I'll look around and wonder what to do with my time, once the boys are grown...but for now, I'm just too darn tired! :)
ReplyDelete(And PBP sandwiches, Brian? Ewwww! Haha!)
Ooooo....yummy, yummy!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOVE pickles! Dill especially.
If you have any left over, can you email me one?
HAHAHAHHAHAHA!
Hope you're having a sweet pickle of a weekend!
*Yes Brian, in my world "whack" is a very technical term! Haha. And I suppose that everyone is entitled to their own likes and dislikes (bleh!!! barf!!!)
ReplyDelete*First batch of dills are looking rather purty I got to say Nora. Yum!
*My eldest got in on the act AiMeE! She was just tickled to help out (got her to wash the cukes first) and kept asking what else she could do.
*Well Me, in 6-7 weeks time you just might have to meander up here and get a taste of my crunchy granola stylings. I have some super garlicky and some milder, so choice will be out there (plus whatever else I have stuffed into a jar between now and then!)
*Hmm. Ron, I think that I might need a lesson on that. I would gladly hand over a whole handful of green, garlicky goodness to you, but I think I would be smearing the laptop's screen pretty badly. I will send you garlic kisses in the Fall my friend. Mwah!!
