My goodness, this summer is flying! I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already. I can’t believe it’s the middle of July already, not to mention the middle of the year.
We’re in the middle of another heat advisory here in Pennsylvania.
I’ve been falling back on one of my dad’s methods for beating the heat – eating pickles—lots of them. There’s something so refreshing and thirst-quenching about a cold, crispy pickle. In fact, back in my days working at Penn State, some
wise coworkers of mine started an afternoon ‘pickle break.’ Instead of coffee or a sugary snack in the afternoon, we would all help ourselves to a big jar of dill pickles in the breakroom fridge.
Of course, now is also the time to start making pickles so we can keep on enjoying them throughout the year. This week’s WuW is all about some of our favorite pickle recipes.
