Just bought a bunch of fresh veggies to pickle to make a relish tray for T-Giving. Green Beans, Celery, Cucumbers, Red Onions, Green Onions, Cauliflower and a couple of varieties of peppers, some Asparagus.

I totally love cooking for people. I hate that I'm not able to host t-giving like I used to.

This will be fun. I'll get them all into jars probably by late Tuesday night so I can make sure they'll be fully pickled by Thursday.
