If you don't have zucchini, you don't have friends
Comments (39)This one was on the table at a book club potluck last week. Everyone raved and wanted the recipe. I'm going to cross post in new recipes. Zucchini Pickles - Heidi Swanson, 100 Cookbooks There are quite a number of ways to play around with the personality of these pickles. Sometimes I shave the zucchini paper-thin, resulting in a whispy tangle of pickled zucchini and onions. Other times I want my pickles to have a bit more bite, structure, and definition. In those instances, I slice the zucchini thicker, perhaps 1/8-inch, and let them drain as long as possible, sometimes overnight refrigerated. Also worth noting, when I make them for our personal condiment stash, I used a brown natural cane sugar. It gives the pickle liquid a brownish cast that, quite frankly, weirds people out if they don't know what is causing it. So, if I'm making the pickles to bring to a BBQ or something, I'll make them with regular organic cane sugar - one that is lighter in color. 3 medium zucchini (1 pound / 16 oz / 450 g), thinly sliced 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced 3 shallots, thinly sliced 1 1/2 tablespoons fine grain sea salt 1/4 cup (small handful) fresh dill sprigs 1 small fresh red chile pepper, very thinly sliced 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds 3/4 cup / 180 ml cider vinegar 3/4 cup / 180 ml white wine vinegar 1/3 cup / 1.75 oz / 50g natural cane sugar Toss the zucchini, onion, shallots, and salt together in a colander and place over a bowl to catch the liquids. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least a couple hours. Toss once or twice along the way. You're aiming to get as much liquid out of the zucchini as possible. When you're finished draining the zucchini, shake off any water. At this point you want the zucchini as dry as possible. Place in a 1 liter / 1 quart jar along with the dill, chile pepper, and mustard seeds. Alternately, you can cram them into a 3/4 liter Weck jar like I do, but it's always a bit snug in the jar. Combine the ciders and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves, and continue to boil for a few minutes. Pour the liquid over the zucchini and seal the jar. Let cool, then refrigerate. The pickles are good for a week or so. Makes one large jar.

Comments (23)been away for awhile, minor back sur. Have finally gotten rid of that iyogi crap. thank you to EVERYONE that has helped me here, now I have another problem, albeit a minor one, should I make a new post or post it here, just minor is all? well I will go on and tell here. anytime I click on anything on a website, the column that would come on when you RIGHT click drops down. It is annoying at worst. How can I stop this? Thank so much for all your expert help here and I do appreciate it even though I don't say exactly the things that can help you help me. I am a complete novice with computers as you all can tell, but being here to help me and others is a great benefit, PK, in La....See MoreWhat effect will COVID19 have on cost of materials?
Comments (5)I think it's reasonable to expect supply-side issues in the near term as some manufacturers are operating at less than full capacity or even at zero capacity and distributors and shipping companies are operating with less than full staff. What the effect is on prices of construction materials months from now I can't predict. I can tell you from experience that prices don't always move in the direction you'd expect. Large-scale production builders typically negotiate long-term contract pricing on materials so their material costs are more stable. Small builders and remodelers live with more volatility in material pricing. Historic low interest rates and ongoing demand for housing are two forces that should work together to continue demand for new residential construction and remodeling. Demand will vary by region (all real estate is local, as they say.) I think the migration of folks from high COLAs like the northeast states to southern locales will continue....See MoreSchool hasn't started, but we have our first student with +covid19.
Comments (24)I had to leave for awhile, and when I returned I found another message from the school staff. The school system wants all parents to complete a survey about whether they intend to send their children to school this fall, and if so, whether they intend to have the kids ride the school buses. If their decision is not to have the children attend, the board wants to discuss the decision with them. The message also mentioned the on-line learning option. I think this was in planning stages before the positive covid19 case was identified, but it's nice to know there are options. BTW, I'd heard that the neighboring town's mayor had announced a mask mandate (churches excepted), and my trip today was the first time I've been in the city limits since my father's last cardiologist appointment mid-March. I saw many people outside without masks, some walking together. Some people had masks pulled down, and I watched as one lady pulled up her mask as she entered a convenience store. My doctor told me his opinion is that wearing a mask is much more important than worrying about contact with money, mail, etc., although hand-washing is always important. A mask is required for an appointment, and of course the staff were all wearing masks. He also said that the staff is having a difficult time finding disposable masks, and when they can find them the price is more than double what it was before covid19....See More
