My Pickles Made the Paper!

080903pickles My Pickles Made the Paper!

Several weeks ago I entered a recipe I created into a contest run by our local paper, The Journal News. The contest hasn’t been judged yet, but they’ve been featuring some of the submissions in the paper, and today my Sweet & Sour Refrigerator Pickles were published as a lead-in to a list of farmer’s markets in the area. Too bad they left off my blog address! Even if I don’t place in the contest, it is a thrill to see the recipe in print.

    How cool; I *love* “real” pickles made at home. I ought to be more adventurous and do them myself. I did some back years ago and I couldn’t get enough :)

    Cool! I actually toyed with the idea of entering something in that contest, and then I forgot all about it…

    That’s so awesome! I also love me a good pickle… kosher dill is my favorite!

Cheesy Kale Crisps: We rarely eat kale now that our farm share is over, and I want to fix that. I've wanted to try using nutritional yeast, and this recipe looks like a tasty way to do it.

"Shake It Out" by Florence + the Machine. This song reminds me of Annie Lennox, and I love tracks that include a huge, gospel-like chorus.
