Meet Harley

Hi everyone,  I would like you to meet my new fur baby kitten  Harley. She is full of energy when she's not napping LOL. I forgot how much energy kittens have, she climbs, jumps, plays with anything she can get her paws on LOL.

Here she is warming up in front of the heat register

and here she is waking up from a nap and I caught her yawning, too funny LOL.

Mmmmm soup

How many of you have tried pho soup? I usually get

a medium sized bowl but last Saturday I ordered large or

should I say sink sized bowl LOL. I did finish it all and it

was soooo good now I'm hungry for more.

Spicy Pickled Carrots

My favorite nephew texted me the other day asking me if I could make some spicy pickled carrots. They are his favorites. I thought I had more carrots so I'll need to buy more so I can make 6 more jars. They will be ready to eat in a month or so.

Here is the recipe if anyone is interested

Spicy Pickled Carrots

Bring to boil 2 cups vinegar
6 cups water
½ cup pickling salt also called coarse salt

Put in each jar
a couple pieces of garlic clove
couple rings of jalepeno peppers
 pinch of red pepper flakes
piece of fresh  dill weed
Recipe calls to add a pinch of alum. I looked in several stores but I couldn't find any. Don't think it will make much of a difference.
Now add mini carrots ( 1 bag) to jars
Recipe makes enough for 6 (500ml) jars


Add hot liquid to each jar and wait 1 month or more before eating them.
Enjoy!
