Yesterday I went to the supermarket and bought a jar of beans and a jar of beets because they were in the jars I wanted. For dinner I had burritos with beans and fajita-style veggies and cheese and lettuce. Uh, I still have no idea what I will do with those beets. I put them in a container and stashed them in the fridge. I wanted the jars, and I didn't want to wait until the middle of the week when they would be empty. Yea, and then today I went to the market and bought cucumbers and carrots and cauliflower and onions and a bundle of fresh dill to put in a jar for pickling. I'm a little sad, I failed. I cut too much cucumber. None of the cauliflower or onion ended up making it into the jars, there wasn't enough room.
Even still, look how cool it looks. I guess the recipe I used is a quick recipe, because it said they'd be good to eat within a couple hours, even better in a few days.
And, yes. A few hours later, look! They look like pickles! I tasted them, they seem pretty good. I don't know. I think they're good enough to make again and make some changes. And they'll be better tomorrow. And the next day. I think.
I chopped up the cauliflower and roasted it with some fresh dill instead, since it didn't make it into the jars. It was delicious.
Excuse my messy kitchen. I live with slobs. I can't fix them.
While I was writing this, Amber came home and with her came Gaddafi. Since he's locked out of the bedrooms, he thinks my lap is the one place he should be, and no matter how many times I shove him off he comes back. Which means my laptop had to go elsewhere because I don't want him on my laptop… Ugh, cats.
Meow.
Love you lots! Post more please.
