It's kind of a hypocritical stance since I read each list I encounter, but what are you going to do? <br /><br />And I definitely recommend this book; it's a lovely tome just to page through. It makes me want to turn every fruit and vegetable I buy into some kind of preserved good...Perhaps we should have a canning party?! :) Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290135991797809997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031121890854604877.post-47593108813328004942012-12-21T13:00:06.763-08:002012-12-21T13:00:06.763-08:00Hi Dexter, thanks for stopping by and also for you...Hi Dexter, thanks for stopping by and also for your comment! Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions for dining in Albuquerque. I've long wanted to travel to New Mexico, but I haven't quite made it there yet. But I do think that if you do a general Google search for Albuquerque, you might find some good suggestions; I usually trust magazines like "Food & Wine," "Saveur" and "Bon Appetit," as well as other food blogs that have a travel component. I hope you have a nice trip and if you find any restaurants/cafes/bars you really like, I'd love to hear about them for future travel!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290135991797809997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031121890854604877.post-29116254239947881252012-12-18T09:53:07.916-08:002012-12-18T09:53:07.916-08:00Beautiful, Katy!

I've always been afraid to try canning for fear that the result not be very crunchy, which is a necessary quality of pickled things in my opinion. Maybe this lovely book you've introduced me to would help!Moriahhttp://buttersugarflowers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031121890854604877.post-41689927394348282792012-12-17T11:17:24.841-08:002012-12-17T11:17:24.841-08:00I really enjoyed this post.

I'm glad you liked the photos because once I put the plastic wrap (even if holiday-themed) on the jars to protect the lids, I was worried it had ruined it (clearly, practicality trumped aesthetics since I didn't want rusty pickles). Alas, I worry too much about silly things; perhaps there's a new year's resolution in the making...?<br /><br />Lots of Christmas cheer to you, too! Hope your holiday prep is going well and that there's lots of Charlie Brown carols to make it endlessly merry! xKatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290135991797809997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031121890854604877.post-31034253657193770902012-12-14T14:50:21.342-08:002012-12-14T14:50:21.342-08:00Russian is kind of a magical language, Ann; zakusk...Russian is kind of a magical language, Ann; zakuski definitely deserve all the love they can get. <br /><br />And, thank you, I definitely will!
