I Heart Pickles and You Do Too

Ok, well Pickle Freak is over 4 years old now so let's celebrate and let our pickle freak flags fly! If Lance Armstrong were a pickle freak (he's not, I've met him) he would wear one of THESE instead of a "live strong" band but he's not so here's a version for "my people" that is green and says "I Heart Pickles" on it. I have 3 to give away courtesy of the crazy pickle folk over at www.pickleaddicts.com

To get one, just visit their facebook page and leave a comment about anything pickle related but let them know Pickle Freak sent ya. I'll pick 3 winners and I'll send you a band quicker than Lance can peel a cycling shirt off. Once you've done that, have you SEEN all the crazy pickle stuff they have on their website? Jesus. I am DYING for one of the pickle scented candles (out of stock!)and I'm also really curious to try the Stu's Bloody Mary Mix (and pickles too-they have been on my to order and try list all year!). I'm also excited that they carry the mysterious and powerful Original Beer Pickle made by my friend and pickle-kinfolk, Harold. I encourage anyone considering a pickle tattoo to be inspired by the label on that jar. I am a very proud owner and eater of almost everything on this site! But there ARE a few things I don't have, so when you're shopping for my 4 year anniversary gift, here's a nice list to get you started: Pickle earrings Pickle coin purse Pickle soaps Pickle gumballs...yes, the thought of these actually make my mouth water and of course, I LOVE the pickle stationary If there is a pickle freak in your life deserving of a gift, I highly suggest you start your search for him or her at www.pickleaddicts.com or just email me for pickle suggestions based on their preferences-I've always got a ton of suggestions!

Dill with It!

Happy Anniversary to Pickle Freak! 4 years ago today I pecked out a little post about my pickle obsession and I haven't shut up since!

I've blabbed about pickles not only here in my own little pickle world but at parties, events, on the web and most recently even in print! I've discovered pickle soup, pickle booze, pickle drinks, more pickle booze, and pickle weirdness but most of all, I've discovered amazing people making amazing pickles and along the way I've found all sorts of pickle happiness! Thanks to all of my friends who over the years have listened to me ramble endlessly about pickles and even encouraged it. You've shipped me pickles from all over the world, saved me that pickle flavored dental floss you bought somewhere, sent me pictures of all the weird pickle stuff your eye is now trained to see and most especially I love it whenever one of you says "I can't eat a pickle now without thinking of you!" That's what means the most to me!

PS-There's no stopping me!

Dill Pickle Cashews

A friend of mine made a Target run last week and she came back with these for me. They are pretty damn delicious. I've already checked and they aren't sold online (boo)but most of us live near a Target or at least have a friend or family member or two who are hopeless Target addicts, so have them pick some up for you! I know from now on that I will pick up a jar of these every single time I go because I will always fear that they will stop making them...they may be too good to be true, so stock up pickle freaks!
