a crock of pickles


Finally! I made a batch of whole dill pickles with the crock method that actually turned out! They spent a couple months in the fridge and I canned them up yesterday. They taste pretty good, especially considering every other time I've tried them they've been mushy, unbearably sour or salty or just plain suspect. Finally I can make both sweet and dill pickles well.

in other news I'll be on TV tomorrow morning at 6 am talking about... food. I have an event coming up for my program I like to explain as "my big deal" this Thursday so I'm bringing in a few dishes local restaurants are making with local foods... Yikes. I need a haircut.

back to work...
