Dill Pickel! And More.

Something New! 

 Blogger has a new look so here I am trying to get used to it..

It doesn't take much to throw me off,  between FB and Blog changing all the time.

HELP LOL

Aren't they pretty

 I went outside early this morning I watered the pots in front last night.  Today I watered the pots and corner flower garden  in the back early.
I also put the pickles I made the other day into sterilized jars.
 I wanted to get that all done because we are expecting some pretty hot temps for the next few days. And I dont like to have the stove going to much,

When sterilizing you have to boil water and that just heats up the room..

I know Im wierd I pride my self on that... :)

 The body shop called to bring back our car, Bill invited him in, he happens to be our neighbor across the street. And naturally the kitchen was a disaster doing that procecc with the pickles.. OH well..
Thats life.

T hey did a beautiful job now to go for the test.. It looks fantastic..

 

 

I did  take a couple of pictures this week not many, because I was busy doing other projects..

Some of us in our family on  FB are all joining a link called, "I grew up in Clearing on the South Side of Chicago".
Its really fun seeing all the photos of old stores and different buildings.
 The different people have shared, then we talk about it..
Everyone so far seems to be enjoying it..
I know I am.. 

This week I didnt take many photos, sorry about that.

Hope you enjoy the ones I did take.

 Our beautiful Sun Rises this week.

In the grassy area behind our house.

Always something to take a picture of, even if its out in the distance..

I missed my hair appointnment this morning!
 I dont know what I was thinking, makes me so mad.
 I had the hot weather on my mind instead of my appointnment..

Oh Well!!

Next week
She is so understanding!!

I love these people out here.
They are so so nice..

We went out to dinner with friends the other night it was pretty good, we really enjoyed the time out with friends and going out to breakfast as well. Just being around friends brightens up your day..

Even if it is for a short few hours.

OK enough about me today, here is my Recipe Share!

 MY
Pickel Recipe Share

The recipe below
  is how I made my pickles.

 Adapted from my Niece Robbies Recipe.

20 small not to small to medium pickles

1 slice of rye bread

1 cup salt

8 cups water

2 cups vinegar

testing to see if you like the amount of vinegar or not add more if you think it needs it.

3  cloves of garlic chopped
I used my home grown garlic that was exciting

2 Talb of sugar

A large bunch of cherry leaves rinced and dried

a large bunch of Dill heads from the stalk

1 Talb of pickling spice

In Crock or Large glass bowl

place bread than alternate with cherry leaves, pickles, dill. chopped garlic

until you have added all of the leaves, dill, garlic and  pickles.

On stove heat but dont boil all remaining ingredients.

Pour over ingredients that are in bowl or crock
 place cover I used a large plate to weigh everything down and placed it on a tray
so their wouldent be any spilage in the refrigerator..
 refrigerate for three days.

On the third day I sterilized 5 pint jars

adding the pickles some leaves and dill from the bowl

I than ladled the liquid from the bowl to cover and put on the lid and refrigerated.

Of course testing a pickle to make sure its as good as you think it should be..:)

Thats all for now If you make the pickles I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

And last but not least
Dont expect me to be perfect, Im Not.
How much fun would that be any way..
