Pickled celebrations

On Sunday, I got into a pickle. At its beginning and its end: first, was the popular pretty pickle. All part of building stock for the Winter Fair on 18 June.

Behind the pot is part of the list of things that need doing for this week's market as well as the long market in a month's time. Before we headed out, a friend delivered grapefruit...

Then we headed up the road to nowhere. It was a glorious autumn day.

A sort-of shadow selfie...and celebrations.

Then it was home and back into a pickle.

The day ended with lemons that will become a North Indian style pickle in oil. Lots of different spices and chilli. This pickle must "brew" for at least three months, but a year is best. One has to have patience.

A good end to a long week ahead of another busy one...

Until next time, be well

  • re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
  • and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pickle collection with us. June 18 is almost here, enough time for the pickle to brew.

Birthday girl looks really happy on those big girl shoes I'm sure it accompanied a big smile on her face.

Sure looks like a really fun day, with a pickle by the side...

That pickle needs three months. The market's in just one so that's going to have to wait... :D

The birthday girl had a wonderful day, I think!

5 years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://peakd.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem
