Ooh, tasty!

And, continuing with the food theme, we have tonight!

Kestrel (my wife) has been on a food preservation kick recently - she gets like this when the seasons start to change. Late spring and summer are times for pickles and other hand-type snacks, and she tried out several new recipes which "came of age" tonight.

First up, a spicy carrot pickle. You

Ya know I never noticed I pickle and preserve more when the weather turns. I just cook what's in season and that's went the veggies started to get reasonable. When Harvest Share opens then the veggies will really flow.

I am pleased with all the pickling experiments.

I do think I need new jars soon (glass) and maybe an mandolin.

There's a birthday idea.

I harvested and pickled a few regular yellow onions last year.
(Sliced thinly, then the 1,2,3 picle mix of 1 part sugar, 2 parts vinegar, 3 parts water, boil)
Really, really tasty on top of roast beef sandwiches...

Just wish I had more than 6 small jas of the stuff.

This year I intend to grow a few more onions, and probably some cucumbers, also.
I'm even debating about reassembling my windowfarm for salad and stuff.
