amna mufti said… - Omg! You live in Konyea?near to the tomb of Roomi?I am an apt lover of his work and idealogy,and you know the basis of our country's ideology are drawn from that of Sheikh of Koneya.May be one day you will find me standing in front of your door,while on a trip to see His grave.
I have almost learned his Masnawi,that is more than three books.each volume reaching more or less 1500 pages.I am growing them for fruit and vinegar,as the white vinegar is synthetic so i want my own vinegar.They make it with sugercane juice also,but i don't like the taste.As i told we are from an arab origin so have passed through Turkey hundereds of years ago before settling in here.what a coincident.

Penelope said… - I don't have specific plans to move, am just restless and my job is being threatened with state cutbacks in education. I can't decide if owning my little house is a burden or a blessing. Your inventiveness in packing up your garden was/is wonderful. I'm glad it worked well. I've been having problems with my back too. I hope it's better by spring so I can get my garden in order. Melancholy winter days . . .

Michelle W. Flannery said… - Kathryn, I read your post in Preserving the Harvest. I wonder if you might post and share your pickling recipe in a blog or somewhere. I pickled a lot of veggies last fall, but they are all too salty. Would like to compare and perhaps try your recipe this year. Thank you.
