I've got about as much chance of ever being able to sing like that as I have of ever getting into the ribbons and fishnet "turn back time" outfit so this is about a different kind of blue:
Blueberries of course!
I'm kind of over jam at the moment, and I've bought so much sugar in the last month I'm sure the local supermarket is spreading the word that it's true- foreigners really do eat truckloads of sugar. Pah, whatever! Anyway, we are eating the blueberries fresh at the moment and I think I'll do blueberry muffins tomorrow.
The girls made berry rainbows in their drink bottles and were quite chuffed with themselves.
And just to prove that we don't just eat jam- cucumber pickles 5 ways: from the front: in miso, in soy sauce, in sweet vinegar with onion and pickling spices (thanks K!), in instant asatsuke pickling salt and in pickled plum juice. I am trying out a whole variety of pickle recipes as I love the sweet vinegar pickles but Ken is a salt or nothing kind of guy so we're trying to find common ground. Today's results? Hmmmm, maybe we agree on the soy pickles but back to the drawing board tomorrow. Lucky we're getting 6 or 7 cucumbers a day, hey?

What are the pickling spices for the onion one?? Granny K has a whole damn field of cucumbers.
hey late night blogger buddy. ;P
It's McCain's pickling spice mix from the US. But I usually just use 1 cup vinegar (cheap crap stuff is fine) 1/2 cup sugar (I use brown but white is fine) and about a tablespoon of pepper corns. They are really good, last a long time and don't taste like salt!!
I lurv all the pickles, esp when they don't taste like salt!
wow i love the raspberry and blueberry mix the girls had - very pretty!!!
you are swimming in jam over there!!
sounds yummy but tiring - where do you get all your jam jars?
and no offence but if i have to look at any more pickles Im going to gag i think (lol) i LOVE the pickled cucumbers but being here and having them EVERY FRICKEN DAY has completely taken the fun out of them
I can't believe I am typing these words but, I really miss those kinds of pickles!!!
Tigergirl is extremely jealous about those rainbow drink bottles.
Glad you liked the pickle spice, Heather! The peppercorn idea sound good!
I am definitely going to try the recipe you gave to gaijin wife soon!! I love getting new cooking ideas!!
