We have a follower!

Since I just noticed that Jenn and I officially have our first follower- hi Rob!- I thought it appropriate to celebrate the occasion.  I made ginger cookies.  And actually I made the cookies before I found out about the fact we were being  "read", and lately I make cookies everyday.  Well, almost every day, yesterday I made almond brittle and ate half the batch for breakfast this morning.  Ugh, no more brittle, if I don't become a raging diabetic before the holidays are over, it will be a true Christmas miracle.  Anyway, back to celebrating....

Jenn and I canned on Monday, a yearly occasion for me since learning how from my Grandma Green, but the first time for Jenn.  We made pickled jalapenos, carrots, dilled green beans and cocktail onions.  I'm not a huge fan of the cocktail onions until I painstakingly made them myself, aren't they gorgeous?

I swear I am obsessed with dill right now.  How can you not be?  This obsession is also due to the fact that I have a crapload of leftover dill in fridge from canning and now I have to figure out something to do with it besides smelling it and sighing every time I open the refrigerator.  I looked up a lot of dill recipes today, there isn't a lot out there that calls for more than 1/4 cup.  What am supposed to do with the other 2 cups?
