I’m glad you got a nice nap. Our bodies know what we need, no matter what we plan ;)

I feel guilty saying it here, but I’m glad fall is coming....anyone else feel like their garden controls their lives? LOL, in a good way most of the time, but me being an obsessive personality type doesn’t help!

I’m glad fall is coming, because the summer garden has been such a fizzle. LOL The spring stuff did great, and the garlic I planted last fall was good too.

Hubby has two medium size zukes and a few cukes and squashes - not enough for processing in the canner. He only had enough tomatoes for one batch.

So I’m going to make a quart of frig cukes and onions - no cooking. Just vinegar, water, spices, and sugar. I usually can some pickled sweet and spicy zukes, but don’t know if I’ll ever get enough to do that this year.

If not, I’ll dehydrate for zuke chocolate cake - Diana posted a link for a recipe.

I bought a bunch of frozen blueberries to dehydrate for my pantry - I think it’s probably cheaper than buying them. I want to try out a pemmican recipe in Fallon’s Cookbook.
