geez rae. i'm already not hungry!!! what're you trying to do?! give me the dry heaves???
seriously though. i think cucumbers are horrid little creatures. except when they are turned into claussens (go figure, because they're the cucumberiest of the pickles). but they must be mini pickles. and all the jars at the store must be inspected so that the purchased jars do not contain pickles bk does not consider to be mini. [hey, i like to shop! gotta put my energies somewhere!]
btw, i grew up with a pickle picker when i was a kid (the tupperware pickle container, but not that little weird round one they have now) and i made my family get me one a couple years ago for my birthday (i really pick out the weirdest presents!! for xmas i demanded pens, an electric can opener, spatulas, and raisins... now i'm starting to see why my family thinks i'm so crazy...).
anyhoo, right now my pickle picker is the single most used "appliance" in my kitchen, next to the microwave! i highly recommend it if you can find the large one.
