Besides cucumbers, I like pickled peaches and beets. As to the perfect dill
pickle, there needs to be equal amounts of dill and garlic and the garlic
should be in whole cloves so that they can be eaten and enjoyed themselves.

Klassons if you want extra crispy but, if not eaten right away they can go bad you have to keep them refrigerated from the day of purchase. They are also a little more money then you might want to spend, If you on a budget.

My mom's are much like her pickled beets.
Predominately the same spices and all.
I'll try and get her to give me the recipe.
Does anyone know where to buy pickled
pig's feet by the gallon here in Austin?
One of my fellow employees really wants
to get some. As for brands, I like Kroger's
house brand for baby dills, otherwise I
usually go for Vlassic. Back soon.

Sorry about that last one, my little girl was helping me.
No one's mentioned pickled eggs yet. I pickled some recently
for a coworker using the liquid from a jar of hot pepper rings.
They turned out a beautiful yellow.

Texafrance's Cranberry and Pear Chutney tastes exactly
like Mom's pickled peaches. When I asked her about the
recipe for the peaches, she's not quite sure where it is.
When it gets found, I'll post it.

HA-HA! You're lucky to have two-line mind strikes. When I don't sleep at night
I have day-long mind strikes walking around with my eyes shut and saying
'uh' when people talk to me. Funny, 'cos it kind of adds up - my best friend once complemented me for being great with two year-olds; said I really knew how to
communicate with them. Figures, doesn't it. If only she knew!

Must be something like that! Ha-Ha!
I must tell you something about my 2 year
old - Elza. She has just started to roar like a lion - with a really viscious expression on her face. Whenever she hears the word 'lion' she roars as loudly as she can.
So sometimes when we sit on the tram these little old ladies sitting behind us start cooing over them, then I whisper 'lion' in her ear, and she roars at them.
It always gives them a shock, and know I should stop it, but I can never resist . . . especially now that Isa nudges me when she sees little ladies coming to sit
behind us. She always laughs herself to bits.

I feel upset - so I thought a - no, may not say that word here, sorry - 'session' would make me feel better. It was great, but I'm still depressed. Oh heck, just ignore, will you?

And the winner is.......the muffin!!!!!
°clapping enthusiastically°

Namibia used to be South West Africa. We used to be dependent on South Africa. Then, 10 years ago, Swapo, a 'blęck, communist, terrorist, one-legged lesbian' organization (in the Afrikaners' eyes) managed to break through our Norhern border at Angola, and demanded independence, and an immediate election. Surprise surprise, they win, country becomes independent, and is renamed, Namibia, after our great and beautiful desert, the Namib. Afrikaners flock to South Africa like sheep, scared $hitless of what
the 'blęcks' would do to them - seeing as they were abused and exploited and discriminated against for over 90 years. Sweet irony, isn't it? 'Cos in South Africa no Boer is sure of his life anymore, and in Namibia all those who were willing to stay, and push their racism up their ar$es, where it belongs, are living together in perfect peace.

Excellent analysis. Are you sure you can't get a job as a talking head on
Nightline? They must need someone on the scene in Namibia. What a
wonderful sounding name for a country. Do you know more about the origins
of this name. And that's great that you can be one of the peaceful
co-existers with the "blecks" (I don't know how you make that funny
character).

Kosher dills are the only pickle to eat on a hamburger. Okay, I do have an old friend that's on Spring and she's partial to sweet pickle relish on burgers. As for me -- it's kosher dills rule!

I've no idea why they're "kosher" though. They do taste wonderful.

I'd love to learn more about those pickled peaches. I once bought something called "peachup". It was the same idea as ketchup, only made with peaches instead of tomatoes. The peachup was quite good on chicken. I haven't seen it years. Probably only 8 other people besides me ever bought it.
