Morning, Gents. Looks like everybody was eatin' the same burgers last night. The Old Hen musta put a roofie in my burger. She grilled one outside, slapped some mayo on it, and I topped it off with Cheetos. Last thing I remember.
Couldn't have been all the beer and bubble hash.

I think ive seen em in the store. Ill have to pick up a jar and give em a try.

With a lemon sauce and grilled or lightly breaded and fried. I am not a fan of capers personally but the dish served at a semi-fine dining cheesecake chain was awesome. Probably not very healthy.

Google says http://www.copykat.com/2015/03/22/cheesecake-factory-chicken-piccata/, and more on capers:
The flavor profile of young, green berries is dominated by pinene; as they mature this piney, resinous backdrop is joined by what Harold McGee describes as "green-fresh" and citrus notes.[7] The outer scales of the berries are relatively flavourless, so the berries are almost always at least lightly crushed before being used as a spice. They are used both fresh and dried, but their flavour and odour are at their strongest immediately after harvest and decline during drying and storage.

Juniper berries are used in northern European and particularly Scandinavian cuisine to "impart a sharp, clear flavor"[1] to meat dishes, especially wild birds (including thrush, blackbird, and woodcock) and game meats (including boar and venison).[8] They also season pork, cabbage, and sauerkraut dishes. Traditional recipes for choucroute garnie, an Alsatian dish of sauerkraut and meats, universally include juniper berries.[9] Besides Norwegian and Swedish dishes, juniper berries are also sometimes used in German, Austrian, Czech, Polish and Hungarian cuisine, often with roasts (such as German sauerbraten). Northern Italian cuisine, especially that of the South Tyrol, also incorporates juniper berries.

Still got a few jars of dill pickles and pickled okra. We pit several chunks of garlic in with them as a matter of fact i need to make a jar of pickled garlic. Have to look into the green bean thing.

I'm not a fan of pickled anythings but pickled beans are fantastical. Bread them with some fresh parm and bake or fry them like french fries. I'm glad I have this amazing breakfast spread of an energy drink and sunflower seeds whilst reading about cooking dead animals.

I dipped my balls in pickle juice once. Helps the peanut butter stick.

I'll see myself out.

Not exactly pickling---but I smoke up some mean 'smoked salmon' alder style. Use Big Chief smokers & alder chips 8-12 hrs depending on thickness. I brine 'em 1/3 to 2/3 mixture of pickling salt & brown sugar with special touch of molasses. The trick is to catch the salmon first. Tis beginning of the season now & just scored 5 nice fillets of sockeye salmon on sale for $5.99/lb here in Seattle @ Safeway. When I go fishin' it seems I pay about $599/lb. Hard to beat---fresh bud, cold beer, smoked salmon, football & baseball playoffs.

maybe we can talk about what happens when you cross 2 F1 plants ..... one plant showing 2 totally different traits in its F1 off spring .... or how whe you cross IBL's, worked lines how it carries P1 on the male side ..... very, very powerful when then crossed with another IBL.

not a mismash of alleles from poly on poly, just keys sliding in every lock perfectly.
very, very, very few of these seen in a looong time.
