I was talking about making pickled eggs and beets over on Instagram a few weeks back.  And, I was shocked at the people who had never eaten one before, or never even heard of them.  I had a friend tell me that she always BUYS the pickled beets in a jar and […]

  NOTE:  We approve everything we do here at the rental with our landlords.  We aren’t using our own money as we do have a barter system with them for these projects.  It’s a question I get multiple times whenever I post about them.   I’ve told you several times that we will be here […]
