Yesterday, at the senior lady's request, I put up 7 pints of bread and
butter pickles for her. The dawg and I don't eat the nasty things, for
one reason, I'm allergic to turmeric. Good excuse isn't it. Cukes were
out of our lady's garden as were the nice red onions that I mixed up
with the cukes. Recipe was straight out of Ball Blue Book, and I just
bought the 2003 version of that too, but left out the ginger and put in
extra pickling spices. Hey! That's what the boss lady wanted so that's
what she got.

Also yesterday we picked up the new all stainless gas grill Miz Anne got
me for Father's Day. I think I'm going to like this one, appears that it
will be much easier to keep clean for one thing and, for the other, it's
got a huge drip tray that slopes to one end and has a grease trap there.
Now I'm perusing the accessories catalog that came with it. Maybe a rib
rack and the stainless steel smoker box. I've already got a rotisserie
that I think will fit and work so won't need another.
