Remembering. Preserving. Pickling. Keeping. Putting up. Memorializing.
All these words give my heart a sense of time as an enduring thing. The slow tick of the watch rather than a stopwatch race towards our destinies. Tick, tick, tick. Let time and patience do their work. And perhaps a little salt. Salty sweat, blood and tears.
Kick off BBQ season with Rick’s Picks pickles!
Grill-worthy serving suggestions:
Dress up cheeseburgers with Green Tomato Condiment, curried green tomato pickles with flavor notes of ketchup and mustard rolled into one.
Pair Smokra with brisket and BBQ chicken, our popular okra pickled in Spanish smoked paprika with just enough heat to stand up to the ‘cue!
Chop Bee ‘n’ Beez for hot dog relish; our bread-and-butter pickles have just a touch of sweetness for an unbeatable tangy-sweet combo.
Garnish summer plates with our cucumber pickles!
Kool Gherks – crunchy whole dills
Spears of Influence – cumin lime dill spears
Slices of Life – our classic sliced pickles
Heartfelt thanks to the Sublime Miss M for keeping the Lunch Encounter full of spit and vinegar. Without vinegar we’d have no pickles. Without spit, no kissing. No kissing worth mentioning.

“Remembering. Preserving. Pickling. Keeping. Putting up. Memorializing. Tick, tick, tick. Let time and patience do their work. And perhaps a little salt. Salty sweat, blood and tears.”
How anyone makes a discussion of pickles so pleasingly poignant shall forever leave me perplexed and pondering (poi-dogishly).
Thank you!
