This post is lovingly dedicated to my friend Anneliese and the wonderful ladies at Mennonite Girls Can Cook! I love their blog but so often can get overwhelmed because I just don't even really enjoy cooking....but yesterday I enjoyed working in my kitchen and I just had to think of all of them!

Well I'm up early (for a Sunday morning) as we had to get some special guests off to the ferry.
Great post! Looks like you did have fun in the kitchen! Pickles is one thing I've never done. Isn't it great that you can pass on the tradition?
Ooh, I can practically smell the kitchen from here ... I think I have to go buy a jar of pickles yet today now :)
