So at the end of February Katie left town to do some support raising out of town. She returned in May, but then Hailey was out of town support raising. (Which is why the cooking had been put on hold.) At the beginning of July we planned a trip: the Atlantic Provinces Extravaganza! We thought the Garlic Dill Pickles would be a perfect snack for the trip since it's a Duggar road trip favourite! One problem though...we wouldn't be together until we arrived in Halifax. But thanks to technology we were able to both make a jar of pickles while talking on skype! Next issue - transporting the pickles...let's just say Katie ended up with some pickley clothes. Once we were on the road to PEI Hailey's sister Emma (the only one of us who actually likes pickles) cracked open the first jar! Her verdict: too salty. She made us try them too and they were ok, but I don't think either of us are going to be pickling again any time soon! (P.S. Katie is away in Spain for a month for World Youth Day so we will update the blog and start cooking again when she gets back)
