November 14 - National Pickle Day

No big DILL! It's just #NationalPickleDay!

HOW TO CELEBRATE -

• TRY A NEW PICKLED FOOD - From pickled carrots to pickled eggs, there is a whole lotta pickled foods to try that will PICKLE your fancy!!!

• LEARN THE HISTORY OF PICKLING - Pickling has been a way of preserving foods for thousands of years! For instance, did you know that practice pickling did not exist in American until 1492! Pickles were included in Christopher Columbus' rations so they wouldn't have to DILL with scurvy.

• PICKLE SOMETHING AT HOME - All you need is a mixture of vinegar, water & salt to create a basic brine that food can be pickled in. I've never tried this, but it sounds like something I could do while I am GHERKIN at home!
