Pickles

Those quail eggs look so good. Been threatening getting more quails just for that reason.

We put up 7 quarts of bread and butter to only find out my idiot dad screwed them up. I was sterilizing the jars while dad was making the brine. He had filled one of his empty vinegar jugs with water for some oddball reason. Well he used a mix of vinegar and water, the pickles taste ok but a day later are mushy. I don't trust them to keep. I did make him sit over to the side while I made 7 quarts of spicy pickles last night. Still no clue why he filled a jug up, didn't relabel it, and sit it with the other jugs. Honestly the older he gets I think the more he starts acting like a child.

The heat has killed just about everything but my peppers and okra.
 
They look yummy!

Forgive your Dad. He's doing the best he can. It's not easy getting old. I know as I'm 71 now and feel it in my bones. Give him a little slack and be kind. He's the only Dad you get in this life! He needs your love more now than ever. :hugs

He's 65 and ribs on me as much as I do him. If I didn't like him I sure wouldn't have moved next door to him.
