Gordy's Pickle Jar: Pickle of the Month-February

Well hello and Happy Mardi Gras everyone!!

It's practically the end of February and here I am just getting around to telling you about my February Pickle of the Month-Gordy's Pickle Jar Hot Chili Spears! Why? Because I've been busy going to parades, dancing in the streets, wear wigs, making costumes, eating lots of jello-shots and oh yeah, having the time of my LIFE! You should try it sometime.

It's the busiest time of year here in New Orleans which leaves me little time to "cook". I've taken to calling the simple task of filling my ice trays with water "cooking" because it's about all I've done in my kitchen lately (I've gotta have ice for my re-hydration needs on Sundays). Ice and pickles-that pretty much sums up the contents of my fridge these days (or any day) and I'm happy to have one more jar of these guys left in there, especially since pickle juice is such a great help for hangovers and quick hydration!

My new year's resolution was to order and try a new type of pickle a month and share my finds with you guys. Gordy's Pickles are from Washington DC and have a classic kosher pickle flavor with a nice blend of spices, although as usual, if they made an "extra spicy" version that would be very welcomed in my opinion. The packaging is very appealing and I think it's safe to say these guys are holding down the fort in the artisan pickle world of DC.

OK people, I'm off to the Mardi Gras-afterwards I'm gonna need all the ice, pickles and pickle juice my fridge can hold!
