Getting Ready


We're getting ready for our houseguest who plans to be teaching me a thing or two about pickling.

Since things are pretty much up in the air now with both real life and blogging life (oh the hoops I had to jump through this morning just to post...arghhhh), it is uncertain when I'll be back. Just consider me in a pickle. ;>

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!

  2. Sorry it was difficult to post in Blogger this AM. But awfully glad you did it!

    That photo is a work of art!!!!! Someone could paint a picture of it and from it.

    So what's going on with the blogging troubles? Exactly? So far, I've had no issues, but like to know what's happening elsewhere. We are still in the "scary-effect-time-from-the-Full- Moon", ya' know!

    Have a lovely weekend!

  12. The smell of vinegar is wrinkling my nose from afar. I do love that acrid odor that signifies PICKLES!

  15. Hope you are out of the pickle pretty soon. Enjoy your time making pickles. I love the smell of the dill and garlic as it blends...of course I don't know if you are making dill pickles.

    See you when you return.

    Great photo by the way!

  19. Have fun visiting and pickling!

    Blogger ticks me off something fierce when I try to arrange and insert pictures. I don't know why the formatting is uncooperative. So I've been using Windows Live Writter now for several posts and it is SO much easier.

  20. I so want to learn to pickle and can. My mom made plum jelly from the fruit on our tree and my mother-in-law made the most wonderful pickles-- My grandmother taught women in remote areas to can and preserve food in the 1930's as a home extension agent, BUT do you think anyone thought to teach me?!!! NO!!! lol I guess I'll have to teach myself! Can't wait to hear how your pickling turns out!
    Lovely photo collage--I love autumn's bounty AND fresh hot donuts!! Especially Krispie Kreme's maple donuts! Have a blesses weekend!

  22. I think part of my problem with blogger is that I have used 96% of my alloted photo space. I don't know what will happen once I reach 100%. I loved your Sunday post, the post after this one. I really needed that today. Thank you so much. I hope you have a lovely time with your house guest.

  23. How much fun!!! I went to do pickles this year, feeling so productive, and haven't done them in decades. As I was counting my jars I realized what I had done wrong...I used lime instead of pickling salt...through laughter and humble pie, I poured all 10 quarts down the drain.
    Next time I will get an experienced hand....enjoy!!!

If comments disappear, please don't fret. A simple "hi" will do. The platform surely needs some maintenance.
