Today began as usual, with me waking to Snake chewing my toes. So after shaking him off and consuming a considerably good coffee, I began the process of chopping and grating zucchini to make both pickles and a zucchini slice. Seemed to take forever and a day to get them all done, along with big bunches of fresh herbs that needed chopping up. Once I had the chopping done, of course nothing runs smooth, found that I had no onions, eggs or vinegar. A quick run to town, supplies in hand and then home again to tackle the rest of the cooking. I made up the slice first so it could be in the oven while I was doing the pickles. How amazing I got 3 trays of slice from a double quantity of the recipe. Woohoo, means I can cut and freeze it to meal sized pieces later. Then onto the pickles, lots of tears later from chopping the onions and they are on the go. Wonder what it is with onions these days though, they seem so potent that nothing I do can stop the tears. When all the cooking, bottling, cutting and wrapping is done I survey the dishes and sigh.. Another mess with great success.
