As a child of the '50s, I remember my mother using anything that seemed more convenient. She had 11 children, and while my father helped more than most men of his era, she still did all the cooking until she could put us kids to work. There was also a lot of advertising in those days selling canned veg, boxed cake mixes, pre-packaged dinners, frozen meals, etc. as the modern, hygeinic way to cook. Thanks for updating these favorites!EKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066994786482182993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-31150357795840429602008-02-19T14:24:00.000-06:002008-02-19T14:24:00.000-06:00Hi Alanna!

We are both on the same wavelength. I also liked your photo and recipe. I will use rice syrup in place of the sugar and probably a combination of lemon juice and rice vinegar in lace of regular vinegar, to "macrotize" this recipe. I'm glad that you kept the parsley in. And...I'll be with Patty at the farmers' market. I think I need to inquire about getting your tomato(farmers' market)icon too...Patty and I have lived there this summer!

I also discovered that I could cut both drastically and still have something that tasted exactly like what I remembered...pickly and delicious! However, I have a bunch of beans that I need to eat sitting in my kitchen so maybe Ill try something new and attempt your recipe as well:)Lyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421751208585173762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-80726682437495496882007-08-15T16:51:00.000-05:002007-08-15T16:51:00.000-05:00This my husband eats every meal that he finds it i...This my husband eats every meal that he finds it in the fridge!

Another option would be to use agave nectar in place of the sugar which would make it low-glycemic but still use natural ingredients.Kalyn Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.com
