New Here? Thanks for Visiting!
Let's Dig In!
Hip Cooking Tip: In case you’re wondering, the vinegar and sugar are heated in the pot to dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. If you just stirred it in without heating it up the sugar would sink to the bottom of the bowl.
Song Pairing: As I mentioned, June is the month I married my wife and we are coming up on ten years. Time does fly! Our first dance wasn’t the typical slow dance. We took dancing lessons and learned how to jive and strutted our stuff to Collin Jame’s song “Let’s Shout”. It got our guests and us fired-up for the party afterwards! Like the cucumbers, this song always puts a smile on my face when I have it playing in my kitchen or anywhere else for that matter!
Recipe Pairing – When I was a kid the perfect match for pickled cucumbers was a good Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
Let's Shout Pickled Cucumbers

Happy Anniversary in advance! My husband and I also had a fast first dance at our wedding and took lessons, too! Right until the end I didn't think he was going to get the hang of the swing (our instructor said he had low, not no, rhythm...haha). But, in the end he pulled through and it was so fun to surprise everyone with that dance.
ReplyDeleteThe hub is a much better gardener than dancer. Now I have another recipe to try and use up the masses of cucumbers that he grows. Looks good!!
Thanks so much "I Sing" for the happy anniversary wish! That's pretty cool we did the same thing with the dance lessons.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is the gardener so I rely on her skills to grow the produce which we always really enjoy over the summer!
