also on the horizon.

pickled collard greens stems (made with this recipe). they've got to sit for 3 days, but i have high hopes for putting fewer things in the compost (in general) by pickling them.

a peck of pickled peppers.

ok, so it wasn't a whole peck. but i did pickle peppers on saturday, a variation on this recipe.

we aren't supposed to eat them for a week so it's just waiting waiting waiting. eating all the other pickled goodies in the fridge instead--okra, radishes, bread-n-butter pickles.

oh yeah.

i made refrigerator pickles last week. it's so easy and we had pounds + pounds of cucumbers from the CSA. ready for a july 4th BBQ or something.

oh, that.

i'll write again soon. the end of spring break was full of laziness and little excitement in the kitchen.

but i did have picklebacks for tracy and yelena's birthday. 4 or 5. that's a shot of whiskey, followed by a shot of pickle juice, kids. no hangover. yelena says that's because of the pickle juice. the russians have such faith in pickles. but she might be right.
