That's just how I'm feeling right now. September is always such a conflicting month for me. Everything is in season and mushrooms are starting to pop up while the beach beckons (especially during such a late summer as this year). Yet, I'm stuck covering shifts at work and peeling my sweaty legs off cheap plastic chairs in class. So yes indeed- the classrooms aren't cool, they are hot. This sucks!
At least I don't have to worry about huge school projects at the beginning of the year, so I can enjoy what I'm reading for my lit classes and schedule in time for pickling and brewing.
Speaking of pickling, the beans out in White Rock are flourishing in the late summer heat and the cucumbers have been tenacious. The summer squashes have been late bloomers, but are finally starting to fruit in more prolific numbers-- so prolific that we can't keep up, which means zucchini pickles! This year, I've decided to try Martha Stewart's recipe for sweet zucchini pickles. I've never tried canning with this recipe so hopefully it works. Here's the link.
