Pickle Bar where for art thou?

Covid-19 has changed a lot of the things we do in life! Once upon a time, I could go to the grocery store and pick from 80 different pickled items. Last year, I made a resolution to try each and every selection - BUT FAILED TO COMPLETE THE MISSION! Now, in 2021, I am resolved to take up the challenge once again. Alas, the pickle bar is still closed.

And yet, there are still many pickle barrels conveniently located in my county. There's nothing like finding the biggest and best dill pickle in the barrel, although I will admit that I am not above taking the last one if able. I have a lot of great memories of travelling to the Allentown Farmer's Market and fishing out a beauty before biting into it and washing it down with a cold Birch Beer. The good old pickle days.

So here's hoping that normal returns to our lives so we can see each other again and enjoy a few trips to the pickle bar. The olives stuffed with blue cheese are incredible.
