Pickled Teamwork

Hello, everyone!

Our lovely garden continues to bless us with bountiful crops of broccoli, zucchini, peas, green beans, crook neck squash, and pickles.

And I've been busily freezing broccoli, zucchini, peas, green beans, crook neck squash...

and canning the pickles.

 Actually, Hubby and I really enjoy canning pickles.  

We pick.

He chops.

I stir and stir and stir.

He stuffs.

I pour.

He bathes.

(The pickles, that is....not himself.

Well, he does bathe but just not while he's canning pickles.

That would just be too weird.)

 No, he's not bathing here - just washing up in preparation for bathing with those pickles!

He loves to add his own little touch to them with a sprig of dill, a tiny clove of garlic, 

and a small slice of purple pepper.

My hubby...

always the one-of-a-kind chef making his own statement.

Gotta love him for that.

Ok.  So I know that it looks like I'm not doing a darned thing here, right? 

(But please do keep in mind that I have done all the freezing of all the other veggies up to this point - remember?  

Do I sound like I'm justifying my menial stirring job....?)

Well....

I'm still stirring.....

Remember? That's my assigned job.

Still stirring............

Well, I do put the lids and rings on, too...

And 19 pints later

we have crunchy, dilly, garlicky-with-a-bite-of-heat perfect pickle heaven!

Ahhhh....team work.

Nothin' like it.

{Hugs} to you and have a pickle of a day - a sweet one, that is!
