pickles / Starry-Eyed

I love pickles!! I have always loved them, to the point where I drink cups of pickle juice. Yes, it's that serious. When I was pregnant with Zee, I was nauseous every single day for three months and pickles were the perfect curve to my nausea in all their beautiful saltiness.

I like many kinds of pickles. Sour dill pickles are bestest but the peppery, spicy one's are great too! Sometimes at Shaw's (a grocery store in the Boston area) they have the old barrels filled with pickles. I got one from their when I was preggers and it was sooo spicy that my nose was running and my eyes were watering. I loved every minute of it!!

My mom's favorite pickles are bread and butter pickles. They're kinda sweet and not at the top of my list but I do eat 'em. I even eat the pickles that are almost still just cucumbers but with a slight flavor. My absolute favorite pickles right now are made right here in the Boston area. Grillo's Pickles! You guys, seriously, YUMMO!! The hot one's are out of this world!! Coming in at $6.99 a jar, they're a little bit more than your average pickle, but well worth it!
