After ending my time at Xziex and Starting my time back at Forestview, I was able to enjoy a week off all to myself. I decided since I didn’t have time to do as much as I usually do in the summer, I might as well make it a fun filled week. I started off by heading to Forestview for the first day of workshop for the teachers. I enjoyed a little district picnic of big daddy’s pizza and salad and caught up with all my friends. Colleen, the master gardener gave me a plastic grocery bag FULL of green beans as well as 8 cucumbers. I love green beans but new that even I couldn’t finish them off before they went bad. So, I cut them all up, blanched them and froze them for later this year. Yummm… I can hardly wait! I also decided to make some refrigerator pickles out of the cucumbers she gave me. After telling Grandma, she was so proud. In fact she is now on the look out for a little canning machine (I have NO idea what its actually called) for me so I don’t have to freeze them next time. I have to say, it was fun to do a little cooking like they used to and not by popping it into the microwave.
It’s a pressure cooker.
Very proud of you Betty Crocker.

I keep forgetting to tell you this and after reading your blog I remembered. We loved your pickles! The night of the water balloons you left them here and we all (not Ash, surprise) ate them. THANKS!
