(Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:36pm) «nate...» /me tries to remember how tall stacey was standing up........... 5' 4 or so? our tomato plants are about 5' even..... it's nuts... both the cherry/grape and the supersteak are that big... *shakes head*... they're collapsing under the weight of the fruit (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:37pm) «nate...» it's really cool to be able to come home.. and spend an hour in the garden...... weeding... working the soil and plants.... it's very relaxing... which, right now, is something I really need. heh (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:38pm) «nate...» ooo! pickles! brb (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:39pm) «ellen» /me made, like, 24 jars of pickles one year (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:42pm) «nate...» this is nifty. :) anyone here ever canned before? (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:42pm) «nate...» heh... that answers that.... (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:43pm) «nate...» did you use the spring-lid ones or the screw-top ones?

(Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:44pm) «ellen» I have a great pickle recipie should you want it at some point :) (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:44pm) «nate...» definitely!!! send it my way. :) and if you need veggies or herbs, stop by! heh (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:44pm) «ellen» hmmm. we didn't bother with a final boil because, well, they're pickles and it's too acidic an environment for botulism (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:45pm) «nate...» so, you just boiled the jars/lids.... filled... closed.. and let sit? (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:45pm) «meh» I have two aunts and a cousin (representing both sides of the family) who do a lot of pickling and canning. (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:45pm) «ellen» yes. you need to leave a small space between the liquid and the lid top (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:46pm) «ellen» I think it's 1/2" or 1" (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:46pm) «meh» /me says by way of random filler. (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:46pm) «meh» And now I think I'm off to bed. *hugs the wall and all on it* G'night gang. (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:46pm) «ellen» I didn't have a large enough pot to boil all my jars in, basically (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:46pm) «ellen» and make sure the lid area is COMPLETELY clean so you get a good seal (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:46pm) «nate...» *nods* (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «nate...» I think I did.... (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «ellen» sheesh, I can't believe I remember all this... it was three years ago :) (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «nate...» it's like riding a bike! (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «ellen» and then as the jars cool, the lids should vaccum down (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «nate...» ;) (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «ellen» *grin* (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «ellen» if they don't vacum seal, then you should discard the contents (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:47pm) «nate...» yeah, it said in the stuff I read that they'll pop and such... make noise... but as long as they suck down, the world is good. (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:48pm) «ellen» we might have turned the jars upside down. I can't remember. I know we did with the jam... (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:48pm) «ellen» yup, you got it :) (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:48pm) «nate...» cool (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:48pm) «nate...» :) (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:48pm) «nate...» well, the one I did tonight is just a basic dill pickle recipe... (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:49pm) «ellen» *nods* (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:49pm) «nate...» I need to find more interesting ones... or just start experimenting. (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:49pm) «ellen» the recipie I have is called "Anna Wilson's Sweet Cucumber Pickles" (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:49pm) «ellen» I'll type it out and mail it to you :) (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:49pm) «nate...» oo... me no likey sweet pickles.

(Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:52pm) «nate...» damned food tv (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:52pm) «ellen» *laugh* (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:53pm) «ellen» I think the joy of cooking has some pickle recipies. I'd have to look again (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:53pm) «nate...» it does... they didn't look interesting to me, tho (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:53pm) «nate...» christian has this book called "cooking a to z".... I've been very impressed by it.. moreso than joy of cooking, actually. (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:56pm) «ellen» hm. well, so much for what's famous :) (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:57pm) «ellen» just checked the joy of cooking, there are a bunch of cucumber and other-veggie pickle recipies (Aug 8, 2002 @ 11:59pm) «nate...» *nods* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 12:02am) «nate...» yeah, I was looking at that earlier tonite (Aug 9, 2002 @ 12:02am) «ellen» anyways, my recipie is all sent (Aug 9, 2002 @ 12:02am) «Erica: movin' to Ohio!!» *burp* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 12:04am) «nate...» thanks!!
