I started by sanitizing an old crock from a crock pot, a plate and a couple of pint jars to be used as weights. Put some dill sprigs and a peeled smashed head of garlic in the crock, pack crock with cukes making sure to leave at least an inch of head space and some room for bubbling. Put sanitized plate on top cover with brine 5 tbsp. sea or pickling salt to 2 quarts water Use jars with brine to weigh down. Place in warm dark place and let ferment. Start eating when bubbling slows down. 5 plus days depending on weather. Check 2X a day and remove any scum if it forms. Make sure everything stays submerged. Make sure everything you are using is sterilized. Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

You didn't save any for the rest of us?

Listening to It's a Small World at my desk, looking at my wallpaper which is a rotation of WDW photos...time to go back.

When I went to Epcot in June with my friend we tried this fantastic sake in Japan. Neither of us like regular sake but this sparkling peach was fantastic. We could have drunk a ton of it, but alas we did not. It didn't even taste like alcohol it was so light, bubbly and refreshing. I forgot to go back and get more when I went in July with the Hubs.

Those are the Japanese sodas my kids drink. The marble acts like a seal so I have been told.

Ugh. This name hurts my brain. My child will never forgive me for not downloading Pokémon Go.. and Kings Island had a “limited edition” Pokémon caramel apple.. for $13.99..I always said “next time we’re here”. Then, when I agreed to get one, the limited time was over.

I’ll never live that down.

If you don’t orient the bottle correctly, the marble moves and seals the bottle so you can’t drink it...
