[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The brewpub I got to all the time (two locations) has had deep fried pickles on the menu as long as I can remember. I've heard they are good, but I've never quite worked up the nerve to order them.
dude, they are GOOOOOD. I just got into them a couple months ago. you gotta cut them in half and let them cool though because they are molten lava hot under the crust.
I am watching the first season of Top Chef (I set up my season pass to catch TC Chicago and it grabbed the season 1 marathon too) and THE PRETENTIOUS SOMMELIER MUST GO!
Oh, yeah, and I'm on my couch for the day again.

my mother does this insane thing where she puts a candy cane in the middle of a big dill pickle and sucks the pickle and the candy cane together. It's GROSS.
Ew. But we used to do this with hollow candy sticks and lemons and it's fab.
Actual pickles soaked in Koolaid or, pickles made with Koolaid in place of the brining liquid? Either way, no.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dill pickles soaked in Koolaid, and seconding the NO.

Dill does NOT equal half-sour.
Half-sour pickles are salty. Dill pickles are sour.
Signed, loves on dill but hates on half-sour.
How are half-sour pickles not dill? Aren't they just in the brine for less time and retain their crispyness because of this?

The crispness is because of the time thing, but they also use different brine recipes -- half sour brines have lots of salt and garlic and onion; dills have dill.

No one liked my baseball golfing at work? Sad now.
I loved it. Genius.
Also loved Trudy's zen bartender.
Happy birthday, Mal!
Team Zmayhem has two (count 'em, 2!) working computers now. Hence JZ tapping away at home and me tapping away at a cafe in Berkeley bogarting WiFi from a nearby Staples.
JZ's got a follow-up interview today, and I have to do an outline for my new proposed book over the weekend (which should result in me getting a contract). Saturday is the baseball parade and opening day ceremonies (which will include Emmett getting an individual introduction as a member of the District Champ all-star team), our second game (we played an official game a week before Opening Day), and team pictures. Matilda will be busy eating raisins, doing her inimitable head-bobbing dance to any music with any rhythmic thrust and dragging books to us for to be read.
