Courage

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are" - E.E. Cummings

Have the courage to be your authentic self.  Love yourself fully, unconditionally.

Desire

"I arrise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." - E.B. White

Pickled Peppers

"We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are." -Adelle Davis

The first of many pickling adventures!  I am so excited that I actually preserved something and can't wait to try it again.  I used Alton Browns pickling method but switched up the recipe slightly based on the ingredients I had on hand.  I tried a few {before sending the jar to the fridge for the pickling magic to happen} and THEY ARE AWESOME!  Up next... Cucumbers!
