Tonight I made Beef Dilly sandwiches in the crock pot. Basically you take a beef roast, throw in a can of tomatoes, an onion, some garlic and a small jar of pickle chips. When Alberto and Claire heard this recipe they both told me they were eating out. Much to everyone’s surprise it was very good. I did alter the recipe a little. I didn’t use as much garlic as the recipe said and I used a bigger jar of pickles and added a couple sprigs of dill. Next time I think I will add more garlic and possibly add a stronger pickle. Even Jacob liked it. He did add more pickles to his meat. There is no mistaking he is my son.
In non pickle related news, Jacob had back to school night tonight. He starts Kindergarten in 4 days. Two things happened tonight that made me really proud. The first, he is ready for kindergarten, he even wants to walk into class by himself. Second, he asked to drink some pickle juice when he got home! I love that kid.
Did you know they actually bottle pickle juice? The whole concept freaks me out. I do realize that I drink juice from the jar, but that is different. Something about putting it in a plastic bottle and calling it a sports drink, does not sit well with me! It is suppose to eliminate muscle cramps. I would think because it is salty it would also dehydrate you, but I don’t know. You can buy it in stores in Texas and probably other places too, but there is no where close to me that carries it. I guess I will have to eventually order some through the mail. If I keep ordering pickles and pickle related products through the mail, we are probably going to go broke. Oh well, anything for pickles!
