Today I need to make granola, make syrup for pancakes and make Cajun pickles.  None of those are hard task and most can be multi task together.  Problem is I have NO motivation.  I really have the blahs.  

A friend wrote in her blog about feeling out of sorts. http://www.homesteadblogger.com/reginascott/ I so get how she feels.  I just haven't figured out what my answer is.  I keep asking God and keep not getting an answer. So I will keep waiting on Him and doing what needs doing. 

I have posted my granola recipe before.  The pancake syrup is so hard I am not sure I should post it.  Take a can of fruit nectar.  I use the kind that come in the blue can.   Dump one or two in the vita mix.  Add a couple table spoons of corn starch.  Now flip it on high and work on something else while it heats up and becomes "syrup" as the corn starch thickens it.  You could do it in a pan too, but you would have to stir it. 

Cajun pickles are NOT healthy!  Nope, no way no shape or form.  They are GOOD!   Buy a gallon of sliced hamburger dill pickles.  Dump them into a colander and wash the salt off.  Wash them well.  now put about an 2 inches back in the jar.  Add about 2 inches of sugar.  You will need a 4 lb sack, and use it ALL.  Toss a couple of cinnamon sticks in.  Sprinkle with some crushed red pepper and toss some garlic in.  Repeat this until ALL the pickles and ALL the sugar is used up.   now put the lid on tight.  Set it on the cabinet and each time you go by flip it.   It will make it's own juice, as the sugar dissolves.   Once the sugar is dissolved they are ready to eat.  They then need to be refrigerated.  If you are in a rush, shake the jar instead of just flipping it.   My favorite food to eat them with is turkey, but they are good by themselves or with hamburgers too.
