Cause I'm the only one that has said anything...I don't want you all to get sick of me posting things, but I'm still going to use this blog to post recipes.
Also, please remember to bring the dishes that don't belong to you to Traci's house. Traci is missing a glass dish with a red lid, Melanie is missing a shiny silver 9x13 pan, and I'm missing some gladware containers.
Thanks!

Zucchini Relish
5 lg. zucchinis, grated
1 tbs. alum
3 lg. green peppers, diced
ice
5 lg. onions, diced
5 c. vinegar
1 lg. red pepper, diced
5 c. sugar
1/2 c. pickling salt
1 tbs. turmeric
2 tbs. celery seed
Mix all vegetables together and sprinkle with pickling salt and alum. Cover with ice and let
stand 4 hours. Drain and rinse. Combine vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seed and boil. Add
vegetables and cook until tender (20-30 min). Pour into jars and seal. Process in cold pack canner for 20 min. Makes 8-10 pints.
My family really enjoys eating this on bratwursts, hotdogs, and I always add a tablespoon or two in my egg salad sandwiches. My husband likes it in his chicken salad sandwiches too.
**If any of you have any large zucchinis that you want to part with, please don't throw them away! I want to make some relish this week but my plant has one of those dwarfism diseases. (Meaning it is the same size now as when I planted it in May!) Let me know if you have any large zucchinis that I can take off your hands. Thanks!

The new way we're doing things...
For those of you who aren't in the neighborhood, I thought you might like to know how those of us in the neighborhood are going to try the food exchange. Just in case you want to try it too... We are each taking a night of the week and we will make (not cook, just prepare) dinner for everyone on that night and take it to their house. Since we are close, we figure it should only take 5 minutes to deliver the food. This opens up a lot more possibilities for food (because some things don't freeze well), and the flavor of fresh food is always better than frozen. :) So hopefully this will work for us. Just thought I'd share in case you want to try it.

The food exchange
Hi Ladies,
I was getting kind of overwhelmed with the amount of meals we had to cook in our exchange, and in talking to the ladies in our neighborhood, it looks like we were all feeling kind of the same way. So we have decided to pull out of the big group and go back to just the four of us in the immediate neighborhood. I hope that's okay with y'all and that I'm not making you mad or hurting your feelings.
We would like to keep using this blog as a recipe blog though, so please continue to add recipes. And they can be any kind of recipes, I love any tried and true recipes! On future recipes, if you try them, make sure to comment and rate the recipe too. Feedback is a good thing! :)
I don't know if those of you who don't live in the neighborhood live close to eachother, but maybe you could start another group in your neighborhood. I love the concept, I've just come to the conclusion that it's easier with less people.
