No wonder you are.

Pickles are right up there amongst my all-time favourite foods.

Especially pickled onions. the really spicy ones. I used to eat whole jars of them and feel funny.

Ahhh...

Great days.

Ooouuu, yummy!!!! Those look fabulous. I love bread and butter pickles. I noticed that although there is lots of dill around in nordic countries and used liberally with fish, I rarely see any dill pickles... only sweet ones. I love and make dills like nobody's business.

Both before and after look tasty. Are those bread and butter pickles? Tasty Tasty Tasty!

Terry,
If you give me your recipe for dill pickles, including processing instructions and equipment descriptions, I'll make 'em. I think the reason everyone makes sweet pickles here is that they keep so well. I never process anything, just fill sterile jars up with hot stuff and put the lids on so there's a vacuum, them store them in a cellar or the fridge. There is dill in these pickles, by the way.

A.C.,
The advantage with pickles is storage- they're good all year.

Okay Jeanne - if I can tie a string around my finger to help me remember, I'll send you the famous family recipe for dill pickles passed down from my grandma. I've never given it to anyone outside the family - the pickles are coveted gifts at Christmas and other times of year as well. yummy! I'd love to have the recipe for yours as well.

Terry,
Send me an e-mail at my yahoo address (wisedges@yahoo.co.uk), and I'll send you my real address and my pickle recipe which, I may add, I have fiddled with to perfection.

I would be honored to carry on the Duff tradition, abundant in secrecy and generosity.

and it worked!
I am so happy.

Joe has one of those cheat devices that announce updates, but it doesn't work for my blog. I suppose I should tell him.

UTMG,
Have you mutated into one of those Sponge Bob things? No wonder you're wearing dark glasses. I so sorry.

sidhe,
You can't imagine how much I agree with you. There is more going on than ingredients. Some days it all works, and I know it; others are doomed from the start.

Fille,
No, I made it appear. It was a nice window, wasn't it?

Sorry, I was busy soaking something up.

Yes I have.

I am part bread/part foam. Therefore I can multitask as a snack and a cleaning product.

God, I'm stupid. Or, to be kind, not confined to primary logical assumptions. Now I see. You're a piece of toast. Been out of the toaster a while.

Haven't made the pickles yet... but soon! I'm going to the state fair in Sacramento this weekend with my grandson (new kindergardner) so won't have much time on Saturday. I've got my jars ready though. :-)

Thanks to you I now have a few jars in my cupboard.

Praise the far reaching, all-persuasive power of the intraweb-o-net!

They will not last long.
