Experimenting With Pickles

Since we have been fortunate enough to be having a bumper crop of pickling cucumbers it has given Lisa and I a chance to experiment with some different kind of pickles.  We already know that our bread & butter pickles are delicious and have turned out well and so have our dill spears.  Yesterday we decided to try making whole dill pickles and dill pickle slices or sometimes referred to as Hamburger dills.  It will be a few weeks before we will know how the whole pickles turned out but we will be trying our slices later today.  We will be doing some more experiments by making zesty bread & butter pickles soon but not today because today Lisa and I are headed to Pigeon Forge to visit a very good friend, Jean, who will be in Pigeon Forge for a family reunion.  While we are in the Pigeon Forge area we are going to check it out since we have not really had a chance to yet.  Tim and George will be golfing so it will give Lisa and I a chance to check out things that the guys would not care about doing.  Should be a fun day!
