How did you end your day? I listened to the waves and watched some big poofy clouds with a hint of pink sunset 🫠🫠

Yums I made this week 😋😋
Made the kale I bought at the Tuesday Market.

I made dill spears, long slices and sweet gherkins.
In the brine for the pickles I used maple syrup (instead of sugar)😋😋
