Make pickles

I’d show a pic of the 3-gallon crock (from Medicine Hat, Alberta) of icewater pickles on my kitchen counter right now. They’ll be ready to jar in two days. I also have bunch of cucumbers and red peppers ready to make into bread-and-butter pickles this afternoon. Maybe that’s when I’ll close this goal, as the point-of-no-return has been reached and 75% achieved. This rocks!

Hey, here’s the pic now.

I found and bought the cucumbers!

I paid too much for the beans and the bad garlic (only got about one head’s worth out of three, most of the cloves were dried or bad!) but I got four jars out of it – and three more jars of pickling vinegar cooked up for the next batch of pickles. So this goal is not done because I have at least another two batches to make – one jarred, one crocked and then jarred.

I just have to go out and buy the beans and cucumbers (one at a time) and do it! And I will!
