Miz Anne harvested a bucket of summer carrots today and then peeled and
sliced them. I canned them in the pressure canner and we now have eight
pints of sliced carrots cooling on a folded towel on the kitchen
counter. We've been thinning the little ones out by eating them raw, in
salads, and even cooked since about May, they are quite good.

Now we have some put by for winter.

Regulars please note my new email address, the old Bellsouth one is gone
for good.

my 17 yo daughter had a party today and we had watermelon. I saved the
rind, so Barb's Watermelon Pickles are in the forecast for this weekend.
Not really and thick skinned melon, but I wont let it go to waste

Miz Anne likes watermelon pickles but seldom makes them as no one else
in the family, even the dog, will eat them. We bought a yellow meat
watermelon last week. I remembered them as tasty when I was a boy but
this one was nasty, got mushy within a day. I'm suspecting it was
shipped in from a long distance and was already old when I bought it.

There's no accounting for taste.
Did she ever eat the B&Bs I sent?
