She has posted since moving to Florida for kitchen help, but that was months ago. I was thinking about her the other day when I saw an old post of hers. Whenever I read an old thread, I see someone's name who seems to have disappeared completely, even though they were very active at one time.

I've been making these B&B Pickles for years. I think they are every bit as good as what I spent hours making from scratch. This takes minutes instead of hours. You need to find a kind of Dill Pickle that doesn't use garlic. The only one I've found is Vlasik, and I try to find the ones that are already sliced into rings. I use the same jar in which they came. Bread & Butter Pickles (out of Dill ) 1 qt jar of dill Pickles (NO GARLIC!), drained, rinsed, and cut as desired. 2 cups sugar 2/3 cup cider vinegar 2 Tlbsp. pickling spices Boil mixture of sugar, vinegar and spices for one minute; remove from heat and allow to sit for a few minutes so the spices can better infuse their flavor. Return pickles to the original jar or any other. You'll need to strain out the spices as you pour the spiced liquid over the pickles to cover. Re-lid the jar. This tastes best when allowed to sit for a day or two before eating. Keep refrigerated. You can also use this for Pickled Beets by doing the same as above only using 2- 15oz jars/cans of sliced beets, drained Hope you like them as much as we do. CAKate

Ingrid, I meant, thought I said June was the last time I personally spoke to her. I know she has been on since then. I was just making sure nothing was wrong with her. I'm used to her being here more, I guess. But I emailed her, or I may have sent her a message on here, never heard anything back, so then emailed, heard nothing back, so tried another email. So I looked up her name and it said no recent activity on here, so was making sure she was ok. But it was a month between emails, at the very least. I think she said she was a teacher, so she could be busy with back to school and her daughter. But was just worried, I didnt know if anyo6else had spoken with her lately, so thought I would ask. Kristine, I knew Carol from Canada was on the other forum. Thank you though!

Wondering how her renovation project is going and wanting to see more pictures.
