This is one happy Little Rooster....read on to see why
Today was SWEET RELISH day! I have been planning this for some time...we had run out. Little Rooster can hardly live with his SWEET RELISH. He smothers what ever he may be eating at the moment, in SWEET RELISH. It made the Mom feel so tender that the little man loved her relish so, until she realized that the key word in all of this is SWEET! The boy is a sugar addict! Anyway he was pleased to see the relish being made today.
48 pints later...we have our supply. Some friends from Albuquerque stopped by this afternoon just to say hi. Nina quickly said "I had no idea that people still bottled food, that is something I saw my Mother do in Serbia when I was a little girl." Was that a compliment??? I am not sure. It was a fun and rewarding day at our house. SWEET RELISH now lines the shelves of our pantry, and boy does it look pretty! Little Rooster can sleep well tonight!
