pickles




little pickles

We had a great time with the little prince, a.k.a. pickles while mom and dad went on a date.  During the day, I dabbled in my pickle adventure.  Here is how it went.

ingredients
snipping off the ends to defray the enzymes from overwhelming
had to settle for grape leaves ~ could not score finding cherry dill leaves :(
brine for soaking pickles
layering all the goods in the crock
the mighty crock
dragon will play sentinel for 3 days until done

We have been bombarded with severe storms these days; at least the crops are happy!  The dill has grown aplenty so I might as well put it to good use.  Next round:  tomatoes!
