pigs, pickling

this weekend, i went to ey farms and looked at all the (cute when little, scary as adults) pigs. there are hundreds.

and some chickens ... did you know, when a chicken is clucking, she's just laid an egg?

and then separately, very separately, i pickled more vegetables. batch one was a bit sweet (over this i worried) and in need of a bit more spice, but still good. this time, i added a jar of peppers and a jar of cucumbers to the mix - along with added spice and virtually no sugar.

i love vinegar.
