Every day cynicism

[Kevin J.]

I am a pickled anything fan.

From the Cleveland Clinic:


Kimchi.

Sauerkraut.

More of a Mayo Clinic guy .

But being more German than bratwurst and married to a home grown Korean girl that I "kidnapped" I fully agree with the prescription.

I had a waitress call me Hon yesterday. I've never been called Hon or Honey by anybody younger than 45-50, this waitress was maybe 22! I assume she learned it from her mother.

I hear it from waitresses and barmaids all the time. They'll get no complaint from me.

Bread crumbs and pickle juice -

Years ago we had a dog named Nikki - a midsize mongrel mix who was not especially smart in comparison to the other 3 dogs we had at the time. It's always been our practice, right or not, that we will let a dog lick our plates if there is anything left on them. We laughingly call it "pre-wash."

Well, we had just finished a lunch which consisted of sandwiches and pickles. I offered my plate to Nikki and she eagerly approached it. Then she got a startled look on her face and turned and looked at me disdainfully.

In my mind I could hear her exclaim "BREAD CRUMBS AND PICKLE JUICE?"

She turned up her nose at this "treat," walked away and then looked back at me with that same facial expression.

That episode has been a family recollection oft repeated...

I had a golden retriever named Daisy Mae. Best dog ever, and smart, too, she knew about 50 words and phrases. She would eat almost any kind of food, like most dogs.

One day we were at McDonald's and I got a 1/4 pounder, fries and a drink. I offered her a French fry. She smelled it and turned her head away. Same thing with a bite of the sandwich. I never ate at McD's again after that day.

I have heard that vinegar will stop cramps. I have never heard that cucumbers or anything else in dill pickles helps with cramps. Larry

Mustard helps some people with cramps too.
