Picnics - Parks & Pickled Okra 

Hello & Welcome to Frau Holle Cottage.
So glad you're here for a visit! My name is Calypso and my husband Gus and I would love to welcome you to our little home/cottage in Southern California. We are nestled at the foothills of a small mountain range, and we love it here. We have lived here for almost 2 years this June. We love our home/cottage so much, that we decided to give it a name. We settled on the name of Frau Holle Cottage after German Goddess of Winter. You see.....our first Winter here at Frau Holle Cottage was Magical. We received 3 or 4 days of snow, and everyone said that they had not seen that much snow in 20 years in town. It does snow here but it usually melts quickly. I was thrilled because I adore the season of Winter because for us living in Southern California, snow is a treat.....unless of course you live in the upper mountain communities.

=== In today's video, Gus and I visited a local park in the town of Redlands California. Redlands is 1 town over from us. We visit this park often when we are in Redlands. We like to visit Sprouts Grocery store and pick us up some sandwiches there and take them to Prospect Park.
It was a beautiful day and I have to say that the temps were a bit on the warm side. Close to 90 degrees. June is heating up.
On our way home, we like to take the scenic route through Redlands Orange groves. Once home I got busy unpacking some groceries and then I started making some pickled Okra.
Pickled Okra Recipe - In an old 1-quart pickled jar or 1 quart mason jar, fill with your veges of choice. In mine I am adding Okra, Red Bell Pepper, Carrot and Dill. When the water and vinegar boils. pour it over top of your veges until your jar is full. Seal Jar and place in fridge and enjoy in a couple hours, Lasts for 2 weeks in fridge.
LIQUID -1 cup distilled white vinegar - 1 cup of water - 1 1/2 tsp or more if you like but add a little at a time - 1 tsp of Chili Flakes - boil all these ingredients on the stove.
