I first repainted with flat paint. (yay) In the hurricane are a collection of wooden spoons, one from each grandma. The RevereWare pots were my mothers.
Maybe why I like having their pictures,cookware and recipes around me in the kitchen is because that is where we did most of our visiting; in the kitchen preparing, setting out and serving food.
Before: I had frame some recipes handwritten by Mine ans Matt's Grandma.
After: I was moving things around and this ironwork found a new home. These letter magnets I found last year at Michael's and fell in love, especially with the price,the whole alphabet for under five bucks (at regular price) imagine using the coupon ! The R is for Grandma Ruby, and he N is for Nana. I associate so many memories with food it is great to be able to have these recipes and recreate some fond memories. One is for Ruby's sweet pickles. They are the "bee's knee's" sliced thin on a tuna sandwich.
RUBY'S SWEET PICKLES
1 GAL jar dill pickles
cut ends off, drain
9 CUPS sugar , 2 CUPS vinegar
(dissolve together)
Pickling Spice tied in cheesecloth
(I used the whole package, about 1/2 cup)
Cut pickles in large chunks and put 1/2 in jar
Add Pickling spice, and cut rest of pickles
Pour sugar mixture over, refrigerate
Turn jar every day for seven days
Put in smaller jars
We then slice thin for tuna sandwiches. I like mine with cottage cheese :) minced into a relish in beans is also really good.
