Whats on tonights Menu
Tomorrow's Menu...
For my birthday Mrs. Avenger gave me a pickling kit. She had assembled a collection of typical ingredients like mustard and coriander seeds, sea salt, a package of pickling spice, some Mason jars and a recipe book.
Today we finally took a crack at it. Went to the farmer's market and picked up some Kirby cucumbers and attempted a cold pickling recipe. Ironically, not from the book, but the innerneck. They're supposed to be ready tomorrow. We'll see.
Obviously, the first thing we learned is we need a lot more cucumbers. But they say the brine is reusable. If these don't taste vile we'll be back at the farmer's market next Saturday to buy a butt-load of Kirbys.
Anybody else have any experience with making pickles?
Well, yesterday's tomorrow is today, so it's on tonight's menu. They said 24 hours in the fridge, we tried them out and deemed the pickles a success. We possibly could have used a little more dill, but otherwise they were crispy and had a nice vinegar bite. Gotta hit the farmer's market again next Saturday and pick a peck of pickling cucumbers.
If anyone wants to take a crack at it we got the recipe from Once Upon A Chef .com titled Quick and Easy Refrigerator Pickles.

Awesome, I will definitely try this
So, another of my gifts from Mrs. Avenger was a set of stainless Kabob spears.
We've done this a couple of times. This go-round we used chicken thighs. Harder for me to overcook and I think I finally have a handle on the vegetables.
Yes, I keep everything on its own skewer. My feeling is that meats and vegetables, especially lightweight ones like peppers, don't need the same amount of heat. Chicken OTOH, that needs some heat.
I really don't know what I am doing. 🙁
You know,..... I'm beginning to suspect that these "gifts" have less to do with kitchen adventures than they have to do with: Honey, you should do more of the cooking.... :unsure:
