Hope you don’t mind me jumping in. We eat a lot of cucumber salads. It’s one of the few vegetables I can get my husband to eat. I make a creamy cucumber with apple, bacon and pickled onions that’s his favorite. It sounds weird but it’s pretty good. I also make one with mango and chilis that’s probably my favorite and an Asian style one with cilantro and peanuts that I’m a big fan of.
A friend of ours makes great bread and butter pickles using a sous vide process and a pickle mix.
We fly to Fort Lauderdale a week from today for a 10-night cruise on Enchanted Princess. I've been tracking our Delta flights and both are always on time or a little early. We watched the ship sail on Wednesday knowing that we'll be on the next voyage
We're nearly packed and, in fact, spent over an hour today packing up our health/hygiene/beauty bags. All that's left is the garment bag with clothes on hangers. We'll finish that by Sunday.

I've read about the health benefits of fermented foods, but I don't want to risk a major coughing/asthma episode to add them to my diet. As the saying goes: "One man's meat is another man's poison".
They were just talking about that on my chicken page. $565 for 6 months, includes food and shelter.
Here is a recent local feature about raising chickens: Are you considering owning chickens as egg prices soar?
Haha! This reminds me of a story my husband tells about going for a pancake breakfast with friends before they would go snowmobiling. His friend would say, "Let's stop and get a belly gasket before heading to the hills." Now we call pancakes "belly gaskets".
Oh! I would love recipes for all of those. I love cucumbers.
I've been listening to these interviews, reading articles and watching videos about raising chickens. It's a lot of investment in money. Probably more than most people realize. It appears you need quite a few birds to really make it worth it. I'd enjoy it but I don't think my health could tolerate it. If I had property & a pond, I'd consider raising ducks for eggs tho.
They all come from America’s Test Kitchen. I love their app, it’s expensive but we don’t eat out. It allows me to make really good things at home so it pays for itself pretty quickly. A couple of websites have snagged their recipes and published them for free, not sure if these are on there.

I just purchased the app. You can get a whole year for $49.99. That's just a little over four bucks a month. Less than the price of one fast food meal or one fancy coffee. I think it will be totally worth it!They all come from America’s Test Kitchen. I love their app, it’s expensive but we don’t eat out.

Have fun! I have only found a couple of recipes that have sort of been let downs, everything else has been really good. I’ll type in a couple of ingredients I have and it will come back usually with something I can make.I just purchased the app. You can get a whole year for $49.99.
