In a Pickle
Who's got two thumbs and just ordered a case o' hot pickles?
This girl did. :D
Seriously, I just ordered about 12 hot pickles and 2 super hot pickles. I can't wait 'till they arrive!

It all started when one day my mother bought Polish pickles for one of my lovely wovely picnics that I like to plan. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of pickles, mostly because they're just too darned sour. I'll take a couple in my Chick Fil A sandwich (they're building one in my town, woot!) and I don't mind popping the fried variety in my gaping maw during a movie, but offer me a dripping green vinegary phallus? No, thank you. But these pickles, recently procured had...dare I say it...flavor to them!? Yes,I may! They were hot peppers floating in them and a surprising heat that just floored me.
Then came the picking-up-a-jar whenever I got a chance. Bye-bye days of 'omg, if there's pickle in it, I'm taking it out' and hello, 'hand me that pickle, damn it!'
Which came to a grinding halt about a yearish ago when for some reason, everywhere I looked, I couldn't find a single jar of my favorite Polish pickles. It was unheard of, considering it's damn pickles from my own state!
So I basically went hot pickle-cold turkey, but it didn't stop me from searching for an excellent pickle wherever I went. Desperately, I even remembered the pickle pouches that are just so famous during school field trips, all the way to Alton Brown's freakout over a hot pickle. So, I started even looking for those...nyet.
Finally I found some at a Beef Jerky outlet near a wilderness store! (We tracked down wild game jerky and fresh cheese curds, along with the aforementioned pickles.)
Hallelujah. Sweet (or hot) pickle heaven.
Obviously, not up to par with the fresh hot pickles that my sis loves to say she ate while road tripping solo through the It's-A-Dry-Heat-States (wish I were with ya there, sis!), but I'll take what I can get. :D Those pickles were just consumed several days ago and I'm already missing their hot, hot memory.

Did I just make a post on lj about pickles? You bet your bippy I did. Who cares about all the other drama when there's pickles to be talked about.
