The salsa with the corn and beans sounds delicious. I think you have figured out just the right use for the hotter batch ... good thinking on your part. When you pickle the hubby, watch the salt. You know what happened last year. (ducking)
I've got to start putting up figs tomorrow. Was checking one of the trees this morning and got full just eating them fresh. Not looking forward to the itching though. Jeans, long sleeves and gloves are not going to be comfortable in the 100+ temps we've been having, 113 with the heat index. ;(
No need for anyone except hubby to duck! Not only does he have selective hearing, he has CRS. Can’t remember...anything!
I hear you about the heat! Can’t stand it, although the other day, I did sweat enough that I had a trickle running down my back and my hair was wet. Go figure! i haven’t “perspired” for years and years. I just get heat stroke and end up bad off, therefore I tend to avoid heat like the plague. My body is changing...again. Sigh. I wish it would make up it’s mind!
Our figs are starting to smell good but we won’t get any of the first ones—mockingbird. When he gets tires of figs, tehn we’ll get some. Can’t stand fig leaves/sap. That’s the reason we wait until after frost to take cuttings. I don’t think it matters wehn you take cuttings to root them, except for my comfort. :)
