Another week has begun. I did swim this morning. And then had coffee with the girls
I came home and grated the zucchini from the garden, salted it well and got it draining
After a few hours I made it into pickles I love this recipe.
It tastes exactly like the mustard pickles you buy in the shops. Only I don’t add corn
It’s awesome spread on a cheese sandwich. Yummy
My old mixer went to heaven and I didn’t replace it. I’m still using the same hand mixer I’ve had
Since I got married. It was a gift!
But I, unlike the mixer, get too tired standing there trying to cream butter and sugar
So I really needed a stand alone one.
I really liked the ones they use on the great British bake off. But they’re almost
Two thousand dollars. I can’t justify that for something I use a couple dozen times a year
So I found this on Amazon
$125.00 delivered.
And it’s red. So it goes fast
Nancy dropped in and we exchanged Christmas gifts.
I gave her a bag, just like this one. That has pictures from our trip
And some hand made Christmas decorations
Tomorrow I see the spine specialist and find out what the scans show
Tomorrow I see the spine specialist and find out what the scans show
Hopefully I came home with a plane to get me to a place where I can become a little
More productive, without having extreme pain.
We shall see
The pickled zucchini on a cheese sandwich sounds just what I like. Just not on bread anymore. I have been making apricot chutney from apricots I have in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteOf course I love your red mixer and the bag.
I do hope you get good news from the spine specialist
Could we tempt you into posting the pickle recipe sometime? I'll exchange it for a pickle recipe that is made with cucumbers, peppers and onion... and is excellent in cheese sandwiches. (In fact I might try my aunt's recipe with zucs instead of cucumber and see whether it works. I can never grow 'just enough' zucchinis - there are always more than I can use and lots go into the freezer for making bread and muffins. Good luck with the scan and plan. Merry Christmas and all too.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever get the glut of zucchini like I had in Melbourne I will try the recipe.
ReplyDeleteWishing you excellent news from the spinal chap.
It's red, so it goes fast! The sports model of mixers?
