Hubby is away, playing on a farm.  He was so excited to get out again and work with his hands.  He left, looking forward to fun!

I'm currently trying a zucchini pickle I found on a blog (1).  Right now I'm soaking the zucchini (which unfortunately is more mature than ideal) and onion in the salt water.  I need to get the brine going - I don't have enough sugar so I'm going to try honey.  I found another website (2) which suggests using about 7/8ths the amount of the sugar you would add so I'm going to try that.  Wish me luck!
