This is the first year we have done pickles. They are a refrigerator type. Half sour dills,  http://www.mrfood.com/Vegetables/Half-Sour-Dill-Pickles-664

We did a gallon and liked them so much we did another gallon in half gallon jars. We sliced a jalapeno in there too. Easy to do try them,

  Wht a bumper crop of tomatoes this season. A few here and I have not even picked for two days. I can see them waiting for me out the front window,

Do you deliver? 

[BilletHead]

    Why yes If I make it back to your town in the near future I will give you a message. I gave away some this morning.

Tonight, after days out of town and other issues, we needed something routine. Red sauce based on sweet Italian sausage and too much garlic, over buccatini with a chopped salad.

You're killing me, BilletHead.

Fridge pickles, like Claussen

12 four-inch pickling cucumbers cut into quarters
3 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoons mustard seed
1-1/2 teaspoons dill seed
1/4 cup kosher salt
8 whole allspice berries
Dash red pepper flakes
4 pint jars

Add cucumbers to clean jars. Bring remaining ingredients to a boil and then let cool slightly. Strain liquid and divide spices equally among the jars. Pour on hot liquid, wipe jar rims and seal. Leave on counter for three days then refrigerate for 1 week before opening.

Made a visit to the farmers market this morning. Tomorrow, after I come in from fishing, I am canning Dilly Beans.

Tonight I am preparing my wife's birthday dinner of choice: Grilled Japanese eggplant, oven roasted baby Yukon potatoes, and lambsicles (double bone lamb chops cut from a rack of lamb and Frenched). I have chilled sparkling wine ready as well.

If you can sweet dill pickles, I might seriously have to re-evaluate our friendship.

We decided on chanterelle soup this evening. We followed this recipe: http://honest-food.net/2014/07/21/chanterelle-soup-recipe/

I had to minced and sweat a pound of chanterlles and two shallots while my wife made the soup base.

And it's done.

I just had a salad with this soup with a yellow tomato from the garden (finally). My wife had brie and crackers with her soup. We really liked this recipe. Now we have to go out and get some more mushrooms. Got more rain today, hopefully able to find them again this week.

That looks and sounds fabulous, also with the brie cracker and mater combo.
