On Sunday, I made some spicy pickled carrots! I have now made every canning recipe that I loved as a kid. Although, my green beans (my first pickles) won't be ready until May 5 and the carrots wont be eaten until after Sasquatch. I remember circling the 'end date' of the preservation period on the family calendar as a kid, and counting down the days. Now, I have gotten a little smarter and write the date to be opened directly on the labels, so I can be reminded and excited everyday! Simple pleasures, but I can't wait to eat my pickles! My next one is to try some new recipes that I did not watch my dad make, like artichokes in oil. I love to eat those on my salad. Monday, April 23, 2012
Pickled Carrots.
The most gorgeous weekend of the year so far (not much competition there) has come and gone. I had a wonderful weekend starting off with Happy Hour with free 'munchies', doing the Troll Stroll to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis and seeing Cabin in the Woods last night! Meanwhile, getting some color back into my skin and wearing a spring dress without tights for the first time! It was definitely an eventful weekend.
