Just look at our November schedule of events!! But unlike what I predicted last month, our first event will not be the car show at the AJ Art Festival of the Superstitions but the AJ Veterans Day Parade. Lynn and I will host a pot luck lunch at our house after the parade. The club will furnish the meat for cooking on the Lazy Lizzie s Kitchen. Bring your favorite dish to share. We finally got a no answer to our request to visit the Pratte Museum during the MTFCA Meeting. The committee now will have to decide what alternative we want to schedule and make appropriate arrangements. We will finalize what the ladies activity will be after discussions at our November meeting. The decision has been made that we will have our Christmas Party/Meeting on 12 December at the Landmark Restaurant in Mesa. Remember we will be electing a President and Secretary at this meeting. If you want to be considered for either of these positions or want to nominate someone, nominations will be taken and election finalized during the meeting.

4 RECIPE OF THE MONTH By Lynn Graton We asked for this recipe after we were treated to some of these pickles during lunch on a vintage auto Fall Foliage Tour in NH and VT. SWEET CUCUMBER PICKLES First Day - Peel and seed 3 quarts (about 12 pounds) of large (those beyond eating - don t have to be yellow though) cucumbers. Cut into chunks. Cover with water. Cook about 10 minutes to start - do not overcook - until you can just prick them with a fork. Drain well. Make the brine: 7 cups sugar (3 lbs) ¼ tsp oil of clove* 2 cups vinegar ½ tsp oil of cinnamon* Mix brine ingredients, bring to a boil and cook five minutes. Pour over cucumbers and let stand over night. Second Day - drain off brine syrup and heat it to a boil. Pour back over the cukes. Let stand over night. Third Day - Cut ½ an orange and ½ a lemon into slices and combine with ½ a small jar of drained, halved, maraschino cherries. Divide them between your 3 quart jars. Heat pickles in their brine syrup. Pour into the jars and seal. This recipe can be doubled. Yield approx three quarts. *Find in health food or drug stores or use: 6 sticks of cinnamon and 3 Tbsp of whole cloves tied in cheese cloth.
