Pickling season begins

In an earlier post I noted cucumbers were growing. Well–now they are HERE and abundant. I love making fermented pickles because it’s so easy. With just salt, water, dill, and garlic magic happens! As you can see in this snapshot, there’s a little white ramekin shoved in the jartop; that keeps the cucumbers pressed below the top 2″ of brine and is essential for successful pickling.

By comparison, writing a novel takes constant work (more like making some intricate cake). I’m on the 5th draft of “Beyond Measure: A Cookbook Novel,” and almost ready to start querying agents. Wish me luck!!
