We are hotter than august right now. while I hate the humid part of it
I am not going to complain the winter will be here before we know it.
So what did I do in this heat? Well I baked a batch of cookies.
peanut butter with home made blackberry jam.
I finished my mask that I was working on this spring.
I think a pair of wings and Miss B will be one pretty butterfly for
Halloween.(The colors are much brighter in person)
And this is my ta da dump find for the week.
I hate the frame but I love the stitching. Not sure just what
I will do with it but it looks like fall for sure.

I am going to try to can green tomato relish.
I am thinking about pickles but haven't found a recipe I think
is easy and good. Any suggestions?

My daughter will be 30 this Friday! How is that possible?
Happy Birthday!

Hi Cathy, another great Ta Da find. Your cookies look delicious. 93 degrees in my neck of the woods, my Fall Mums are wilting in this heat and humidity...Happy Birthday to Miss B's mommy...
ReplyDeleteMiss B will be a lovely butterfly!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to DD. My bad boys are 34 and 32. I wonder how that happened, too!
ReplyDeleteYour mask is VERY COOL!
Hugs :)

Those cookies look good, I can't have peanut butter anymore. Love the mask and the yards you used on the outer edge, nice effect.

My grandma's recipe for Bread and Butter Pickles is really good.
ReplyDeleteSWEET BREAD & BUTTER PICKLES
(Makes 7 pints)
6 quarts of unpeeled cucumbers (about 16 at 8" long and 1" in diameter)
4 peppers—2 green—2 red
2 jars of Pearl onions or 12 small onions
Wash vegetables and put aside to drain
Cut ends of cucumbers. Use medium to small cucumbers.
Put vegetables in container, pour on ¾ cups pickling salt and let stand for three hours
Drain in colander
In large pot, bring to a boil:
1 quart cider vinegar
3 tsp. tumeric
7 cups granulated sugar
1 Tbls. Mustard seed
12 whole cloves
Dump in vegetables and bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes
Seal in pint jars immediately
Can water bath for an additional 15 minutes if you want to
It's difficult to adjust to the extreme temperature changes.
ReplyDeleteGood job on that butterfly mask.
I'm looking forward to seeing miss B wearing it with pride.
I love peanut butte cookies, I want one or two. Too bad I can use a replicator like on Star Treck to beam some in my plate.
Great dump find.
