We're Making Pickles in Week Eight!

Have you noticed this about life? It is the people we spend time with which influence our mannerisms, our ways of laughing, our taste in fashion? For those of you who have not had the pleasure of working with Amish friends, they call cucumbers "pickles". And yes, as we work along side them we too have started calling them "pickles" too! : )

This week we've really started into the cucumber phase of the season. And yes, at home I've been making "pickles" into pickles! So far I've only made Bread and Butter pickles, but am looking forward to working with a few friends to make Dill pickles. But there are a few more recipes out there I'd like to try, maybe a Hot Pickle recipe or the Dilly Beans we grew fond of in Vermont. Anyone want to share some of their favorites?

We hope the heat of this past week didn't wear you down too much and that you enjoy this bountiful season of summer!
