pickling update: it'd something like 2 weeks later and I popped open my pickles. they're already the best pickles I've had and I didn't even use fresh dill or the right pickling salt (used Morton's Iodized, but the pickles are still crunchy and not really discolored). I did use chili flakes and garlic cloves. also using this post to put esiann on botulism watch bc I don't know if I used enough vinegar.this is a grreat post love it
gonna try green beans and cauliflower next.
I made my first batch of pickles ever today but I did not sterilize the container, I just hand-washed it. will be monitoring their pickling over the next few weeks making sure they don't grow mold.u should be ok. i never sterilize anything. just wash with good ol soap.
I had a similar experience when I had my lip pierced, they made me wear a beard net but then I had to quit cause it didn't cover it and I wasn't ready to take it out and become an adult yet (was only 19 leave me alone).
tell us about the fucked up things you saw in east hastings. for those who dont know it is the vancouver crackhead street.
The truth's wedding? We were talking about how he went from super conservative to liberal not long ago.

relevant: I worked in a factory when I was younger for a while making pastries and christmas pies and the like. it was pretty gross. a lot of dirty people not wearing gloves touching fresh food. it was a major brand too.

(i've never even eaten a pickle!) i think the only such thing i have ever had was pickled ginger, from sushi places. what exactly is the appeal of this process? what even is sauerkraut?? how would pickling work on human flesh??? i don't know anything.OMG
