NOTEBOOK
jerked into the air, "And 10 for me!"
I yelled.
"Oh, and another 10 pounds for
my sister."
"She would be delighted to,"
Audrey told us as she hung up the
receiver.
Our fate was sealed. Canning
fever was running wild. We were no
match for it. "Well, Elsie," I said, "if
you keep grinding, I'll go and pick dill
for the cucumbers we're getting."
"Okay," Elsie replied, "And while
you're at it, pull a few carrots. This
relish needs something for colour."
Cucumbers, cabbages, onions,
beets, dill, and now carrots! What
next?
What next turned out to be
zucchini. It seemed that Elsie's sister
had given her plenty of zucchini, so on
the way home Elsie gave me some to
go along with my cucumbers, cab-
bages, onions, carrots, beets, and dill.
My car was bottom heavy all the way
home.
Arriving there, I went out to the
garden to have a little talk with my
veggies, but found to my horror that
they were almost big enough to talk
back. "That's it!" I told them.
I made relish and green tomato
mincemeat, and canned tomatoes,
beets, green beans, yellow beans, and
yes, made dill pickles. I was doing
quite well, I thought, when the "Old
Boy" walked in.
"What about fish?" he asked.
"What do you mean, what about
fish?" I replied testily.
"Don't you think we should have
some?" he asked.
"No," I replied.
But we did anyway. Thirty-five
jars of it. Just enough to give the "Old
Boy" a dose of fishing fever. As I was
removing the last jar of fish from the
pressure cooker, he rushed out the
door, pole in hand, to get me some
more.
And today, while I am writing this,
I have a canner full of good old
Christmas pudding bubbling away
gently on the stove. The fever burns
on.0
