Pickles Galore...
I wanted to find out how easily my recent pickle posts would come up in the tumblr search engine - being new to this environment I naturally want to see how the search engine works. I was floored to see how popular pickles are with people today. There seems to be a pickle-obsession that goes beyond just eating pickels!
By the time I got to the 15th page, I had enough and was tired wanting to go to bed, when I happened upon this little fella. Now he's just too dang cute! Reminds me of the very first gift my husband gave me (many many years ago) which was a jar of "pickled people"...they were super cute - still have them in my kitchen.
So, there you go - I never did get down to my pickles, but was happy to see that I am in such great-widespread company!
I've Got A Pickle...I've Got A Pickle....I've Got a Pickle...heh..heh...heh.....heh!P.S. I made the above post originally in tumbler, but as I've worked in the tumblr environment, I've found it does not rank well with SEO, so I've made the move back to Blogger. Blogger is much more established, alot more powerful with more flexible page layouts, and posts immediately with SEO. I simply added a SHARE button from ADDTHIS.com into my html main page code and can easily post my entries into Facebook and Twitter!

One Final Thought on Pickles - Reuse That Juice!
Here's a great little trick I learned from my mother-in-law, Fannye Pritchard, who grew up during the Great Depression and learned to never waste anything along the way.
Once your pickles are all gone :-( you can still make great use of the wonderful juices left behind :-) !
Take any type of onion (red is my favorite) and thinly slice them into the pickle juice. Stick it back in the frig, and in a few days, you have wonderfully flavored onions for use in sandwhiches, salads, are just to the side as a garnish.
So, I'm getting the most out of that wonderful juice from Ms. Betty's Sweet Garlic Pickles.
Any other ideas on reusing pickle juice?

Ode to the Pickle...
So sad to say, but I just ate my last wonderful Sweet Garlic Pickle from Betty Sims :-(
I'll be making them this weekend, though, and we'll see in 3 weeks time how they turn out!
If you'd like to shop with Ms. Betty, you'll find she had other wonderful food items, along with her fabulous cookbooks too.
Peace......
Anne
