| dill weed |
I'm not exactly Suzy Homemaker, but I am a pretty fair cook... except for my attempt at making home-made pickles. They tasted like digits dipped in gasoline-gone-bad. I don't understand how I made such awful tasting cucumbers. Maybe it was the dill I grew in my garden or maybe I followed the recipe wrong or maybe someone left out something in the recipe on purpose, but the pickles were just awful.
Since the pickle escapade, I tried using the dill in a potato salad recipe and it tasted great, so I know it's not the dill. Good friends who share recipes are trustworthy, so I really don't think they'd leave out a key ingredient. Then I double checked the jars I put the pickles in just to see if anything in the jar was suspect. And there it was!
A spider the size of New York State was nestled in and around the dill weed. It was the worst looking thing you ever saw. It was big enough to emit an awful taste, but I don't think the spider was the culprit. It didn't matter. I threw out all the jars of pickles and decided that store bought is better.

ok i see your problem,you got to read the instructions correctly
1) pick veg/fruit to pickle
2) wash veg/fruit
3) boil bottles
4) go to store buy pickle
5) take bought pickle out of store bottle , insert into now cold boiled bottles
6) remove all traces of store bought pickles
7) eat a few of the veg/fruit leaving just enough evidence of a struggle
8) brag to friends and family
now tell us again which of these instructions did you forget
lightly: LOL! Your comment is so funny. I forgot #s 4-8. Thanks for the great tips.
