Start It Up

One more week in the books, one more on deck. The pickles are looking...well like pickles. The recipe says seven days, I may not be able to wait until Saturday. It's a lot like making bacon, you shake the jar every day for a few seconds to mix the spices around. With bacon you flip the meat over every day.

Hopefully they'll be Claussen caliber pickles or better! When we get expendable funds again and I can get the square foot gardens built and filled with the mixture, we're going to plant pickling cucumbers for sure!

The Date used to can stuff so we'll have a way of preserving foods:) I've got no idea on how to can anything so I'm helpless in that department.

This week should be hot, the rainy weather kind of cooled things down a bit but now it'll get back over one hundred again. So be it, it's just apart of living here. Hopefully this week will fly by!
