Flat Stanley & Pickles

We sent A's Flat Stanley to Paris.  Irene was kind enough to show him around town. I  wished that I could have fit in the envelope and spent the time in Paris with Irene.  Irene is such a talented photographer among other things...like a mother of twin boys.  She has a blog. She also has this blog which are pictures of London vs Paris.

Pickles

 

12 pickles cut into spears (I cut mine in half then into spears)

1 Tablespoon of kosher salt

1 cup of vinegar

6 Tablespoon of sugar

1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt

1 jalapeno

1. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of salt on the spears and mix with hands so the salt is incorporated throughout. Let it sit for an hour and then drain the liquid out.

2. In pyrex cup mix the vinegar, salt and the sugar until the salt/sugar dissolves. Cut one jalapeno into slices.

3. Throw the pickles,the vinegar mixture, and the jalapeno peppers all in a Ziplock bag.  Put it in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
