We ended up making 9 jars of pickles. They are really beautiful as you layer turnip slices with beet slices, then pour 1/3 full with purple beet juice, the rest with garlic/vinegar/salt/ water mixture. It makes a beautiful jar of red and white pickles. If they turn out correctly, they will be salty and vinegar-y. I had them at a middle eastern restaurant and then looked them up online. They are very popular with hummus dishes.
I will be quilting the rest of the day. Thanksgiving will be at my sil, she has a lovely large house and usually has 30-40 for the day. Her menu is Turkey, dressing, Mrs. Schubert's rolls, turnip greens, corn/hot pepper casserole, hash brown casserole, carrot souffle, pickles and mystery dips. Mama will bring the green beans and macaroni and cheese. Dorothy and her granddaughters will make some cookies and desserts.
I have been too ill the last two years to attend. I am hoping this year I can as my parents are elderly and this is one of three "family" events a year. The other two are Christmas and Easter, I have been house bound for over two years now and not traveled at all. Even though I see my parents when I travel to the doctors, I don't get to see the extended family but rarely.
