pickles!!

As I type this -- dead tired, might I add! -- Darkside is pulling the last three jars from the canner. The sad part is the only reason it's the last 3 is because we ran out of vinegar! We started the canning at 10:30 PM and it's almost 3:30 AM!! The canner takes FOREVER to boil.

I almost wonder if it's going too slow? It seems even slower than our electric stove last year!

But anyway that's like 15 quart jars of pickled zucchini and 1 pint pickled onions. I still have more zucchini and cucumbers to do!

Oh and the bucket of green beans we pulled out tonight too. (snapped, cleaned, and ready to go!)

I'm tired even thinking about it!

later...
