Peaches!

Mama K called me at work on Thursday to see if I wanted her to pick me up some peaches at Kaelin Farm Market.  Yes, please, but not too many.  Ha.  I came home to a half bushel of very ripe peaches on my dining room table.

Friday night we processed 30 c of peaches and stuck them in the freezer.

Saturday night we canned 6 quarts of peaches.

This afternoon I made a peach pie.

And now the peaches are gone!

Lacto-fermented Pickles

I was so excited to make lacto-fermented pickle slices with cucumbers from my garden this year.  I'm not sure what I was expecting, and I don't even know how to describe what I got.  Effervescent pickles?  The pickles have a certain fizziness that triggers my "don't eat that" reflex.  That's usually how you tell if something's gone bad, right? 

I'm trying to eat them.  We'll see...
