So what do you when it's 10 PM, your husband and son are away for the night and you have the whole house to yourself? Well if you're me, you bake a pineapple upside down cake, binge on leftover Chinese food and can a dozen jars of pickles. You could say that I know how to have a good time. Either that or I have a big L on my forehead.
This was my first attempt at canning pickles. I have to admit, it was actually pretty fun and not too labor intensive. If I was a rapper, I'd call myself 'Pickle Daddy Diddy'.
Ok, I'm getting a little delirious. Off to bed!
Hahaha! Oh, Thomas, there's No big L on your forehead! You are a winner!!!
ReplyDeleteAny man who spends the evening baking that lovely cake and canning pickles has my respect. The kitchen is THE place to have FUN! Go for it!!!
No matter how much you can, don't you always want to jump up and down clapping your hands when you hear the pop of the seal?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of pickles? It looks like you have some pickled peppers and some dills? I still need to make some pickles this summer. Today is jamming day though.
ReplyDeleteI would be doing just the same!
ReplyDeleteHaha...I thought you guys would understand. You are my peeps after all.
ReplyDeleteDaphne, I picked some Hungarian Wax peppers and some dill cukes. I also used some of that Pickle Crisp people have been talking about. Hopefully that helps - nothing worse than a soggy pickle.
Well done! Everything looks delish! I'm a new reader of your blog and am enjoying it very much. I garden a bit south of you in RI.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to spend the evening. I would have done the same thing. Everything looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt does look pretty. One of my favorite summer treats is the typical Caprese salad. Nothing is better than fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, P Daddy Diddy!
ReplyDeleteWell done you!
ReplyDeleteIt's hugely satisfying isn't it? - the whole pickle/chutney/jam/jelly thing.
Looks awesome! I see you can some peppers too!
