Bread and Butter… Pickles, That Is!

I made this with the help of my dear friend’s mom – she printed the recipe and mentored me through it. :)

I’ll have to post the recipe later, once I get a copy. :) But we started with 20 cucumbers (locally raised, from a friend) and 6 onions, I think. Chopped them all up, added garlic and salt and let them sit for 6 hours.

Then we mixed the spices, sugar and vinegar, brought it to a boil and added the cucs/onions – brought it back to a boil.

We found a cup that fit perfectly into our jars with the bottom cut off to use as a funnel and filled the jars.

Stuck them in the fridge to cool – we tried ‘em for the first time last night…

And they are YUMMY!!

Meal Plan 8/7/11

Back from the Living Dead

or what felt like it, anyway. Last Tuesday R2 started vomiting at 11 pm and didn’t stop for 18, yes EIGHTEEN, hours, my poor sweet baby. At 4:45 R3 woke up and vomited for 2 hours and then slept, woke up and was fine. When R2 finally stopped she had what seemed like the flu. Cough, fever, exhaustion. Then Friday I started feeling a bit bad. Saturday I couldn’t get out of bed and R3 joined me.

Fast forward over a week and two doc visits later and today R3 and I are slightly better – after starting antibiotics.

I have so much to do. We cancelled the birthday party for the third Sat in a row. *thud* And I have to bake goodies with 3 gallons of blueberries we picked that Tues R2 started puking!
