My first pickles!, originally uploaded by stephee.

"Bread and butter pickles - 2 batches (regular and spicy!), and pickled banana peppers in the back. I now understand why people used to do a lot of pickling. This is how you keep from wasting food... pickle it and save it for later. We have been overrun with cucumbers and banana peppers from the Grow Alabama (http://growalabama.com/ ) lately, and I had to do something. If only I could think of something to do with the yellow squash... Hmm.
