One of the kids is visiting, so we fell off the wagon again.  Definitely not on the diet.  On the other hand, I had one.  In the old days it would would have been two, and maybe a half.  Overall we ate five between the three of us, so there are left overs.

In pic 1, note my homemade atomic dill pickles, put up in April 2011.  Lean store ground beef, raised grid, 450 for about 7 minutes a side.  French bread rolls from Publix.

Pics to follow.

    Do a couple of small batches so you can tweak the brine to your taste.  They get stronger the longer they've been in the brine.

    Doc-
    The burgers look great but I need you to elaborate on these pickles.  Do you mind sharing the recipe?

    OK, you will have to figure ingredient ratios for the container you use.

    These are refrigerator pickles, not cooked, so they cannot sit out on a shelf.  These were done in a really big pickle jar I scrounged from the local deli.

    3 cups water
    6 cups white vinegar
    4+ table spoons diced garlic
    2 table spoons mustard seed
    4 table spoons canning spice
    5 table spoons canning, kosher or sea salt
    Good dose of black pepper corns
    Several sprigs of dill from the garden

    Heat the water, vinegar, and salt slowly just until the salt goes into solution.  It will not come out again, and you want the brine no hotter than it has to be.

    Pack the cucumbers, and put the other spice on top.  Pour the brine in to cover everything.  Refrigerate for a month or so before trying.  My current batch are about 2 years old, and are really spicy and good.

    Try this same thing with onions, you will love it.
