Having recently acknowledged a love for food and cooking delicious meals, I've taken on experimenting with different recipes for my favorite foods. So far, I've baked, fried, and broiled through dumpling, spanakopita, sugar cookie, bread, and lemon bar recipes. Every few weekends or so I decide to try something new, inspired by some "Good Eats" episode or Hungry Nation TV on Youtube. Working Class Foodies is a Youtube favorite of mine, and when they aired their Pickle Episode a few months ago, I put in on my list of "things to cook" in the near future.
Spring is here and frosty weather is gone, so it's time to start planting! Of course I could go out to the supermarket to buy cucumbers and other things to pickle but I decided it would be more fun to grow the vegetables (well, actually fruits) myself. My mother and I picked up some Bush Pickling Cucumber and Sweet Banana Pepper plants along with some Sweet Majorum, Cilantro, Basil, Jalapeño, and Finger Hot Pepper plants to create out little Victory Garden. Here's to you, Michelle Obama.
I am testing out my brand new Fujifilm point and shoot digital camera, fresh from it's packaging!

So this post is really the beginning of my extended pickle project. It's a bit more far fetched than painting or drawing or other mainstream types of art, but in the end it's creativity with food which is delicious for everyone. Sharing this on my blog might remind me to water my plants more often... oops. Whenever I experiment with horticulture it really is a matter of survival of the fittest because I perpetually forget basic things like water, sunlight, and general attention to my plants. Hopefully things will be different this time.
All this talk about food is making me hungry. Over and out.
