Time’s they are a changin’…this year’s annual LES International Pickle Festival is a whole new dilly. Last year’s 10th year of the festival was the last one to be organized by the amazing Nancy Ralph of the New York Food Museum. She started the festival on Orchard street and every year lovingly watched it grow. I had the pleasure of working with Nancy one year and will never forget any of my experiences at past pickle fests!

The reigns were passed earlier this fall to the organizers of the popular New Amsterdam Market under the Brooklyn Bridge near the South Street Seaport who have renamed the festival the Peck Slip Pickle Festival.

I won’t be able to make it this year but you can bet I’ll be sitting here with FOMO so I can’t wait to hear all about it. Also, according to the NY Food Museum website, there’s a yet to be announced pickle fest in the spring on the Lower East Side! I will not suffer FOMO for that one!

Oh and if YOU are suffering from FOMO as well, be sure to check back with my friend Jennifer from The Pickle Club TV, she always covers the fest and does an amazing job!

PS-dear Peck Slip Pickle Festival promoters….that image of a horde of shopping pickles is super CREEPY!

October was totally nuts thanks to my extensive birthday celebrations that are now *officially* over…sigh….I’m sad because I still didn’t do everything I wanted to but nevertheless, I suppose it had to end. Anyway, here’s my awesome pickle cake that another of my cult devotees, Megan King, brought to my party at The Mayfair, the official Home of The Pickle Freak!

Did I say home? I meant bar. Same difference right?

I’m looking forward to blogging LOTS in the coming days to get you all caught up with my pickle pursuits!

>Dill Pickle Popcorn

My friend Jennifer Flynn is one of my biggest success stories-I have completely converted her to the Pickle Freak cult.
She was recently in Dallas and brought me back this bag of pickle flavored popcorn from Uptown Popcorn. When she sees anything pickle related, she knows she has to get it for me. As should all of you.

The bag was devoured in about 5 minutes. You can order all kinds of flavors (but why bother, just get the Dill Pickle) online. So if you’re gonna be the weird relative that sends a tin of popcorn as a Xmas gift, you can at least redeem yourself by getting cool flavors. They also have a size called “Party” that weighs 13 lbs-that’s what I want. You can email me for my address and ship that party my way.
