My in-laws from Baltimore are asking: Where‘s the sauerkraut, hon? For proper pronunciation, you‘ll have to catch me in person. 😉

I‘ve had 49/73 items that are actually on the list. Here are some of my favorites.
1. Mashed potatoes
2. Roasted acorn squash
3. Glazed carrots
No thank you to giblets!

1. Social gathering with the book club.
2. New handheld vacuum cleaner.
3. New bookcase configuration.
4. Orioles Pride Night jersey. This is especially gratifying because the opponent for the night was the one remaining MLB team that doesn‘t have their own Pride Night.
5. Local wine and pickled vegetables from the farmers market.

When your hooman didn't provide you with the weather that you requested...

Yesterday was a day-long advanced screening of November, so I made apricot jam because it tastes like sunshine in a jar.

Recipe is from the tagged book. It's great in that it calls for old-fashioned dried apricots, rather than wildly expensive fresh ones.

Current read - because the onslaught of cucumbers and summer squash is about to begin. 🥒🥒 🥒

Anyone have other picklin/fermenting/canning favorites?

Just testing out this new recipe for Lemon Cukes before I go into the greenhouse and cut 1,000!

Loving this new book - there a whole section on small batch pickles which if fabulous if you don‘t need 17 jars of dilled cucumber relish!

My daughter works at a farm & produce shop, and gets a discount, so guess what's on my agenda for today?
Not entirely sure that this is a money-saving enterprise, since I had to invest in a food mill today, but maybe it will pay off in the end? 😄
