My continued metamorphosis into Martha Stewart continues. Learning to pickle stuff.  Here are some pickled chiles, and a home grown cucumber taking a sweet pickle bath.

Yum! What are we looking at!??  Differently shaped loaves of Zucchini Banana bread?

 

It's been so hot here I've been dialing back on baking.  I think my next project is going to be trying a mixed chile pickle and then turning it into a spicy relish. 

 

I'm also planning on smoking some pork butt this weekend, but using the smoker isn't a skill I've picked up over quarantine, so I'll not be posting the results here, haha.

So the first loaf is Zucchini Banana Bread with chocolate chips, my own recipe adapted from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, then the other two are Whole-Wheat French Bread fresh out of the oven, covered in melted butter.  delicious looking, right?

Looks and sounds amazing!

Why thank you!  I wish I could share, but I can't. A: We finished it just now, B: Corona, C: I might not live close to you, even if I knew where you lived, and D: I can't pass it through the computer screen.

trying to learn to juggle, and learning self control around baked goods.
