Wow, is it starting to get hot here! And I can’t remember the last time we got a good rain. The garden is still surviving well with daily watering, and I’ve now made 5 jars or regular dill pickles and two jars of refrigerator veggie slaw (inspired by this recipe). (By the way, do you know of any good cucumber recipes other than pickles? :)) The green beans are also growing very well! I hope to have enough later in the week, as I’ve been promising my husband we would have Spicy Green Beans for dinner with fresh beans from our garden!
I didn’t get to making spaghetti last week, as we got invited to a friends’ house for dinner instead! So, it’s on the menu plan for this week. We will also be traveling to my hometown for a baby shower that some friends and I are throwing for a friend who I’ve known since 3rd grade 🙂 I’m excited to see everyone and share some of my baking!
