i held out for three whole days. you know, the ones i wasn’t at home.
So, while waiting for that first tiny batch of pickles to get good and ready, I got another one started.
The making: This one was dill. Seed and weed. Apple cider vinegar.
Oh, dear: Inspired by my 1953 copy of Joy of Cooking and Food In Jars. Experimental Tangent by Me.
The tasting: It’s early, but I’m def going to cut back on the salt. I’m not sure if I’m a pickled bean person, yet. And I think I might like a thinner skinned pepper to pickle.
What’s next: The final verdict for the first tiny batch of dill should be in in a few days. I def want to try less salt and maybe, white vinegar. Also, I think I’m going to have to give the cukes a cut, either spears or chips.
I just had a Nic Cage/Moonstruck/”Chrissy bring me the big knife” flash. Great. Now, I can’t stop thinking about oily fish, bloody steak and bread, bread, bread.
