Welcome to the thoughts and photos of FLYDDW. Texas, New Jersey, and Arizona living.

I am not a big veggie person.  When I eat salad, I like to make it a whole meal.  I add all kinds of things like crackers, ham, turkey, cheese, seeds - lots of non-veggie things.  Then everything take a huge dip into the salad dressing!

As you have seen, I do have a little garden in the backyard.  If you actually seen it, you'd say "damn - little it right!"

So, I am slowly pulling the fruits of my labor out - and eating it.

Today, I pulled out one of the cucumbers.  I got on the web and looked up some pickling recipes.  Kinda complicated and long time line - 2 weeks.  Almost like preserves - sterilizing jars, etc.  I needed a shortcut.

I sliced the cucumber into rounds, thin slices.  Then, make a bath of vinegar, honey (just a little), pepper, salt, and a little soy sauce.  Into the brine and into the frig.

About 6 hours later, took a taste.  Very good, but not really a pickle yet, so back into the frig.  I'll check on them tomorrow.
