Limed hamburger dills
I had to order some Ball's Pickle Crisp online so this batch of the
subject pickles are being limed as I type this. 2/3 cup Mrs. Wage's Pickling Lime, one gallon plus two cups of cold water, mix well. Scrubbed the cukes well with a vegetable scrubber, cut off the blossom and stem ends, sliced them fairly thin with the Ronco slicer (still works well for this job), then put the sliced cukes in the lime solution and stirred it well. Will take them out tomorrow, rinse them several times and then soak in cold water for about three hours then begin the pickling process. Had to go to the market and BUY dill seed and weed. Ours isn't big enough to harvest yet and I used up all that we had dried or bottled and stored last winter doing some other pickles. Drat! I hate buying pickling spices when I can grow them so easily here. Have the jars, lids, rings, and the canning kettle ready to rock and roll. Will get up in the morning, take care of the lime business, put on some Bo Diddly in memory, get out the canning pearls and get ready to do the job. Can't find our pickle hats, I'm beginning to believe the latest crop of descendants made off with them on their last visit. George

You didn't turn green when I was dressed that way while you were here. IIRC it was your fake pearls I'm wearing in that picture you snapped. I've got a sore toe so the heels are out. VBG
