Some people just LOVE sweet things. I eat sweet things when offered - and in fact, don't dare make cookies, cakes or pies - because I will inhale them. Mostly because they're THERE - and that's what you do - eat them, that is - not inhale them!
But what I REALLY love, crave to the point that I resemble Pavlov's dogs, are PICKLES!!!! ALL kinds of pickles - quick lime pickles, bread and butter sweet pickles - but MOST especially DILL pickles! and really have to pace myself on this or I will eat them until I'm sick!
A friend (Judy L.) is putting up pickled beets - which is bad enough since it got me to truly craving pickles again! Then she asked what about carrots! I LOVE dilly carrots! Esp. if they have a bit of fire in them! And Green beans - OH MY! Pickled okra I haven't tried - YET - but I saw some jars in the grocers and how I made it out of there without them, I'll never know!
So - I live in MA - and there is a LOT of snow on the ground - and my carrot crop last year was virtually non-existent. What's a girl to do?
Answer is simple - GO TO THE STORE! Admittedly it's just not quite the same as when you raise your own - but it's at least better than none!
So - guess what I'm going to do today!!!!! (Dilly carrots - here I come!) And hopefully I'll have enough left to put up on the shelves to last me until I actually have home grown ones!
