Don't know when I'll get out picking this week, I have just one class every day at 4 though, should be doable soon. <br /><br />Lilu's having all her teeth out (!!) on Thursday, so I'll probably spend all day Friday at home or nearby - maybe duck out to the local thrift for an hour or two. Want to come have tea? <br /><br />I'm so glad you re-jelled the Dandelion, it sounds fantastic.Balutakathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487375124482424491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024445953203433265.post-62226589570818891122010-08-21T05:09:27.557-06:002010-08-21T05:09:27.557-06:00Emily when my mother was a little girl her grandmo...Emily when my mother was a little girl her grandmother made her watermelon pickles.. <br /><br />I have never seen or tasted pickled melons I bet they are delicious!<br /><br />Learning how to can foods with your mom I bet is a lot of fun" <br /><br />It's something my mother wished she had learned from her grandmother, but as a little girl she was not allowed in the kitchen and by the time she was a teen she lost interest...<br /><br />I'd like to try my hand at canning one day with my mom just for the fun of it, and hope that we can make things that look as pretty and taste as nice as yours and your mothers" I hope you both enjoyed your day at the fair.Vetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904220037223028054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024445953203433265.post-68384518785631466722010-08-19T17:40:24.807-06:002010-08-19T17:40:24.807-06:00yes spoonay! i'm busy the rest of this week/we...yes spoonay! i'm busy the rest of this week/weekend but we should go next week sometime. <br /><br />goneferal--thank you! our stuff will be in the culinary arts department inside the expo building. i think if you walk in the first set of doors (first from the fair entrance) the displays will be on the left. watermelon pickles = watermelon rinds cooked in a sorta sweet, spiced pickling liquid. not so tasty in my opinion but my dad loves them. have fun looking at goats!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114229789417525889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024445953203433265.post-25563140457769676782010-08-19T16:48:29.943-06:002010-08-19T16:48:29.943-06:00What are watermelon pickles?
