our trip to my mom's was short, but fun. we had a great time with my family and some friends on sunday, and cooked so much delicious food. i made deep fried pickles for the first time. for a first attempt, they were pretty decent, but there is room for improvement. i think we'll try a batter as opposed to a coating next time. next time we'll also add some deep fried mars bars to the equation, because hey, why not?
so, here is my pickle process:

i'm glad i enjoyed yesterday to the fullest because as of today i'm sick. it sucks. i feel like shit. luckily we have extra staff some mondays and tuesdays, so i didn't do much work today, and i've called in for tomorrow. i'm not on my deathbed or anything, but if it's possible to take the day to recover without screwing anyone over, i'm going to do what's best for my body. i'm hoping that a day of rest will nip this thing before it gets too terrible. soup will save me.
ps: room for squares was released 10 years ago yesterday. holy shit. |
