We've visited many mineral springs in the West and in Canada but none on the East Coast. Many date to the late 19th or early 20th century. I enjoyed the pictures from the spa of the woman and man in dressy workout clothes! I imagine they didn't do many leg raises and splits!
I recall taking a pickling class some 10 years ago in which a corn, onion and red pepper chow chow was on the menu. I'm not sure if I can find green tomatoes here, but it does sound like there are many variations on chow chow. As usual, thanks for an enjoyable post--and the beautiful painting of Ballston Spa Lake!
What a lovely painting of Ballston Spa Lake. I'm glad you shared the photos of the spa "exercisers"--so funny to see them so dressed up, and hard to imagine much exercise was occurring in those outfits.
Fascinating as usual......
Thanks, Jan
And now I know what to do with my attic…updating my will 🤣
Plus, I love this recipe! And your painting.
Thanks, Amie!
