A great finale to a warm but satisfying day. We took a road trip north to the mega city of Fairfax. Visiting the kids is always something to look forward to. Today we met my brother Michael and his wife, JoAnn at the Casey’s store in Fairfax. Dennis and I came away with a huge amount of cucumbers and some onions from their garden. Mike’s were on their way to play nine holes of golf at Fort Ridgely.
After checking in with Kersten and Kevin we headed south for home. Dennis and I visited the entire way home taking in the fields that look like award winning crops and some fields that could use the cork pulled to allow the water to go down.
Here comes the finale: Dennis was treated to liver and onions, complete with mashed potatoes, for supper. We had supper a bit later than usual, but I must admit, it was a good fare. Me . . . can you believe it . . . me, I did the dishes and the cook stove cleanup. Dennis had the night off.
Tomorrow Mike’s cucumbers will be made into refrigerator pickles. I have dug out all the spices and the cucumbers are crisping up in the refrigerator. Out came my Mom’s favored recipe for this batch of pickles.
Tomorrow, I can guarantee the aroma of vinegar cooking in our kitchen will clean out those sinuses once and for all.
