“In the kitchen with…Karen”

blog 007

I just love making pickles…..I feel so domestic!  So farm girlish!  Putting up and saving up just makes me feel all snuggly, like I am taking care of my own.  My family is all gone from home but I love giving my canned goods all year long.blog 009

Our weather has been so erratic that we don’t know from one day to the next if it will be hot or cold.  Yesterday, was in the low 50’s in the morning but got up to the low 80’s in the late afternoon.  Today it is raining.  So for me, it feels like fall is on the way.  I always, get domestic when the weather turns cool.  So what will I make today?  I think the zucchini is calling me….
