Altho I followed the recipe instructions, results were weird. The veggies appear to be shrinking inside the jar. At first, I thought I hadn't packed the jars tightly enough (though I don't know I could have gotten any more in the jars), it seems that the veggies are shriveling up... almost like they are "drying up" in the pickling liquid. Even the cauliflower looks shrunken. Altho the jars were packed, the amout of veggies is now at about 1/2 the volume, floating at the top of the jar. I don't think I'll use this recipe again.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
