Now that I am the cucumber grower "extraordinaire"...
I decided to put them to good use!
I have done this with purchased cucumbers...
But...
These will be extra special delicious...
As...
They came from my very own beach veggie garden!
What I do is...
Save the pickle juice from any pickles that you have purchased at the store...
Simply slice your cucumbers...
And some thinly sliced red onion...

And a few peeled cloves of garlic...
Into a nice fancy schmancy jar...purchased on one of my MANY thrifty sprees....
Pour the liquid over...and VIOLA!!!!
Your very own...handmade...delighfully deliciously wonderful yummy pickles!
They are ready very quickly...perhaps even under a week..
These will be going to the cottage with me this weekend...
Back to their roots...so to speak!
Don't they look awesome!
My sweet African Violet thinks they look delicious too!!!
Seriously...you should try this...even when you buy a cucumber...
They taste way crispier and fresher!
I tried the pickling mix once...did not care for it at all...this is way better!!
Hope you all had a great day...
Supposed to pick up Vivian...but the vehicle with the car seat, had to go into the shop for some repairs to the oil tank...:o(...Of course they had to ORDER the part...so I couldn't pick her up...We were looking SOOOO forward to it too!!
Now...we probably won't see her 'til Sunday or Monday...I know she will miss us as well...
On the menu tonight...
Rotisserie Chicken...Fries...Spinach Salad...Swiss Chalet sauce!
Enjoy the rest of your day!!
Cheers! :o)
