βI spent my summers bottling π es and my winters rotating
We spent the next day boiling and skinning π es.β
βThen again, if we were going to take cover on the mountain when the Feds came, I didnβt understand why we were canning all these π es. We couldnβt haul a thousand heavy Mason jars up the peak. Or did we need the πes so we could bunker down in the house, like the Weavers, and fight it out?β
βWe kept on bottling πes.β
βI would hear their echo in the chirp of crickets, in the squish of πes dropping into a glass jar, in the metallic chink of an SKS being cleaned.β
βI took in the pearly sink, the rosy tint of the carpet, the π-colored rug.β
βMeanwhile, my family boiled and skinned π es, pitted apricots and churned apples into sauce.β
βNew Yearβs Day, Mother drove me to my new life. I didnβt take much with me: a dozen jars of home-canned πes, bedding, and a garbage bag full of clothes.β
βSo what if there were rotting πes in the fridge and dirty dishes in the sink?β
Was looking for something made from potato (Idaho theme) that wasn’t latkes (I figured there might be someone else who wanted to make that). As is often the case, a patient came to my rescue- Lefse- a Norwegian Potato pancake, made often at the Holidays. Love a new challenge. I will bring a variety of sausages to go along.
