The COVID-19 vaccination arrived in the Tri-County a month ago, and many of our residents have taken advantage of the vaccination. Many of our residents have received the second series with some discomfort that goes away after a few days, and others like me have had little or no side effects. I urge everyone to get the vaccine as soon as it’s available to you. It’s not mandatory, but hopefully the vaccine will slow this disease.

Ingredients: 4 cups vegetables of your choice, washed and peeled (if desired), and cut into roughly evenlysized pieces seasonings of your choice (see below) 4 cups chlorine-free water 2 tablespoons sea salt (I use pink Himalayan salt) Directions: Fill a clean, wide mouth jar with the chopped vegetables, leaving at least 1½ inches of headspace. Add any seasonings you like.
