surprising my bandmates with #pickles for practice tomorrow. better be good or the music will suffer!
I found trout fillets in the freezer this morning - I decided to marinate them for my dinner 😊
I just had them (sautéed) - 🤔 well, it was far better last time when I marinated unfrozen fillets. I think they were in the fridge quite a while 🤔

We have tackled some this evening.
I've done another jar of #lacto #fermemt cucumber, with fennel, allspice, and half a Wraith chilli.
I've also done two vinegar #pickles - a large tub of padrons, and a jar of cut runner beans. This has fennel, coriander, black pepper, bay, and garlic, plus the other half of the little Wraith.
Kat has semi-dried some black cherry tomatoes and submerged them in EVOO.
This was done before I took the previous photos. Barely made a dent. 😅
Dr: ooof, that’s some serious #ADHD you got there. Don’t worry, there are plenty of great #meds these days that can help
Me: oh thank god
Dr: I wrote three prescriptions for you. But the pharmacy won’t fill them, of course, unless you call them at this exact time every month, and say this exact phrase about how I’ve already send the prescriptions. If you forget to call at the right time this whole system falls apart and there are no drugs for you.
Me: *thinking about #pickles* Sounds good!
Please join me for a discussion of #mercy and… #pickles in Rom 12:8, 1 Peter 2:9-10 and more. https://mastodon.faithtree.social/@littlehillschurch/110930307005563669
In 2020 I made and jarred up some thick round bread-and-butter sweet #pickles that turned out... mushy.
They taste good, but the mouth feel is a problem. The ones I haven't eaten? I'm never gonna eat.
But before I throw them away...
Today I have the #dehydrator running to make some #okra #chips. The experiment: I'm gonna dehydrate these mushy pickles and make pickle chips. It's a no-cost low-effort last-ditch attempt to avoid both food hoarding behavior but also food waste.

Mmmmm. Back in the before-times, we were at a farmers market and found a local pickle fermenting company (full on fermentation vs just sitting in brine) called Britts. The pickles are amazing, the other ferments like kraut and kimchi are also wonderful. And best of all, they sell the brine separately! Great for those mixed drinks, but for me, I'll take a shot and just sip on it and enjoy the salty tartness.
Highly recommend.

A jar of refrigerator pickles. These are mild pepperoncini peppers from the garden. #vegan #pickles #gardening
"Look, the first cucumber!" so quickly becomes "where's that pickle recipe?"
But first, where's that bottle of gin?

@gardening a little more from the #garden today. I harvested a lot of seeds: a few more #potato berries in the holding bowl, a bunch of #marigold seeds, a bunch of California #poppy seeds. And I dissected a few of my last and ripest Uralskiy Ranniy #tomatoes and harvested their seeds. Not a lot of seeds in the last little fruits, but enough to try the technique.
Plus another five quarts of fermented dill #pickles! Whew.

I am only one person, so I have only a small #garden, nevertheless, #vegetables are coming in faster than I can eat them. I'm full up on #pickles #dried and frozen food, so this may all be excess.
#cucumbers: sumter, marketmore 76
#peppers: jalapeno, Anaheim
#tomatoes: Roma, SS100, black krim
The early black krim are a bit small, as are the Roma and MM76. The SS100 in the clay dish are casualties of storm damage, sometimes they ripen on the counter.

When the garden is hammered by wildfire smoke and heat, extraordinary measures to bring home the #pickles
TIL that pickles are cucumbers.
My wife wanted to know what I thought they were and I really have no idea, so now she's teasing me about getting some pickle plants when we get home.

Sweet and briny berries, cherries, and plums are the pickles you never knew you needed.
"Jams rely on sugar for preservation purposes, but I sometimes find their sweetness to be too dominant. It would be easy to imagine that vinegar’s strong flavor would overpower and even drown out the sweetness and delectability of perfectly ripe fruit, yet it somehow does the opposite. Pickling brings out fruit’s best qualities, deploying acid, salt, and a hint of sugar to make fruit sharper, brighter, and noticeably juicier. "

Being a total novice at #gardening, I only planted a single cucumber vine in my small bed. It’s growing out of control to the point that plants adjacent to it are suffering, and I’m up to my ears in cucumbers! I’m learning (slowly) when to pick them so that they are a little less seedy, but even the seedy ones can be scooped out.
Luckily, I absolutely LOVE #pickles. I don’t dislike fresh cucumbers, but I’ve never had one that I didn’t wish was soaking in vinegar for a few weeks.
