I’m too afraid to try long-term pickles… the kind you have to monitor closely and watch for ‘growth’ on… yech!
These sound more down my kind of alley

What a great set of memories to have. There is a lot to be said for the passing down of tribal knowledge. There is more to learning than just having information in our heads. It’s the million other sensations that go along with the learning that makes the process fun and memorable.

I felt like I was standing in that field with you and that’s a whole lot better than standing in an air conditioned super store picking over genetically altered fruits and vegetables, hoping to find something with flavor.

Thank Francie & Vani.
I was around 9 years old when I ate that fresh tomato & cucumber. I love thinking back on all the good times visiting Merryville.

Memaw, Aunt Maggie & Uncle Pap have been gone for….10+ years. The easiest folks you’d ever want to know. I really miss them.

Hello, another Maggie I adore!

YES! I’ve eaten them that way, too! I forgot all about adding onion.
If I get another cuke from Randy, I’ll it with onion next.

My mother and grandmother always made cucumber salads like this. They also throw in some thinly sliced onion which gives it just a little heat.
