I'm exhausted today... and I have a headache threatening to be something more if I don't pay very close attention and KILL IT soon.  But, it's worth it.  I spent over 9 hours making dill pickles and two kinds of jam over the weekend with my mom and my best friend Lar.  My friend has never done any type of home canning before and wanted to try it.

Thanks! I actually like the jam and pickle canning much more than my staple... pumpkin. It takes me several days to can the same amount of pumpkin, but I love the fresh taste of homemade stuff which kinda makes up for the aching hands, back and feet. Heh.

I really miss pickles. *sigh*

Vinegar, right? *sigh* And, these are the bestest pickles, too.

Yup. Pickles are probably the thing I miss most.

Seriously, how perfect was this icon!

The most perfect icon evah!! *nods* I felt my cheesy icon worked well as a counterpoint.

When the pickles were out of the pots and cooling on the table, next we made strawberry jam. The whole house smelled fantastic. Mom couldn't resist and cracked out ice cream and poured leftover syrup from the pan over it. Heh.

oooo!
