first.


Married... With Dinner is a lot like a blog i want to have. There are posts about different places in San Francisco, and reviews of them. Also there are recipes for fun food and drinks. The overall design of the blog is nice and easy to navigate.
Cooking With Amy is just a nice, clean and informative blog. There are fun recipes and different posts about magazines and books about food.
Chubby Hubby is interesting and fun because there are a lot of recipes and a million links to other blogs and sites about food. I love the look of the blog, and the pictures.



FOR MY FIRST POST...
Don't you just LOVE pickles??

This recipe can be used to pickle other types of vegetables and things.. but for now...

HOT PICKLED STRING BEANS AND BOILER ONIONS!

Ingredients:


*note: quantity of ingredients depends on how many jars you want to fill, this recipe is PER jar.

2 cups Apple cidar vinegar
2 cups H2o
2 Chilis (hot whole dried)
2 Bay Leaves
1 large sprig Fresh Dill
1 clove Garlic
about 10 Boiler Onions
about 30 String Beans
1 teaspoon Pepper Kernals
1 teaspoon Salt

Directions:
1. Boil equal parts water/vinegar
2. Add garlic, pepper, salt, boil for about 20 minutes.
3. In mason jar add string beans, onions, one bay leaf, chili peppers, dill

* TIP! boiler onions are small and hard to peel, for a good tip visit Magic Valley Growers.com
4. Fill jar with boiling liquid

*make sure the mason jars are sanitized before you use them, if they are not, it will ruin the pickles! Find out how, here!

Hey, you're getting thank-yous from your blogroll people already! Excellent!

Your reviews are fine, maybe could have been a little more detailed. And is that recipe part of your review, or is that your first actual post? (See homework instructions; I just want to make sure I'm looking at everything you put up.)

Looking forward to a great new foodie blog!
