I already posted this.last week. 
4 thieves vinegar and salad dressing...

grilled fresh pineapple.. 
lots of banana breads for drop in guests... 

making recipes for my shop.. 
cherry jam, room sprays and foot soaks.. 


The kitchen was busy this week.. 
I told myself that as we are closing the shop this Summer 
that all I was doing was selling what was already there.. 
Alas... 
I can't help myself and jams, toiletries and such seem to be finding their way to the old kitchen table ready to go to the shop to be labeled and sold.. smile.. 
Oh well.. 
Pickles are next, I expect... 
There is a big bag of green tomatoes sitting out there.. 
Next week, perhaps.. 

Hope you enjoyed this peek into my kitchen.. 
Go over and join everyone else HERE.. 
I am sure you will love it.. 

Thanks for dropping by, dear hearts.. 
Appreciate your visits and comments.. 

Enjoy your weekend..xo

  3. Wonderful things you do for your shop! And wonderful photos! Here in Italy the zucchini pickles I posted are common, we don't use too many spices in pickles, but lots of herbs like rosemary and sage. If you try it, let me know if you like!! Hugs

  9. Pitting cherries is the pits. But my husband made me a pitter from a pill bottle....still took me an hour to pit what I wanted to freeze. Sigh! I will share on my blog soon. I'm behind....but life (or death) gets in the way...so I took a bit of time off and now I'm back logged...but it's all good. i am gonna make apricot jam soon! Have a good summer!
