Re:ISO's pickle quote made me think of this... amola: i have a glass pickle......
it's a christmas ornament. german tradition, it's the last ornament to be put on the tree, and the first child to find it christmas morning gets a special gift. as much as i hate pickles, i still put it on my tree every year. the town i grew up in was called "dillsburg" and so i've endured pickle jokes all my life.....
and no, we did not make pickles there....
ISO's pickle quote made me think of this... teacherwriterguy: Came across this poem today, and since ISO has a sig quote about a pickle, this was too good to pass up. It's a good poem all on its own too!
Go to Bed with a Cheese and Pickle Sandwich
Mandy Coe
It is life enhancing
It doesn't chat you up
_You_ have to make it.
A cheese and pickle sandwich
is never disappointing.
You don't lie there thinking
Am I too fat?
Too fertile?
Too insecure?
Your thoughts are clear,
your choices simple;
to cut in half,
or not to cut in half.
How thin to slice the cheese,
and where you should place the pickle.
From a cheese and pickle sandwich
you do not expect flowers,
poems, and acts of adoration.
You expect what you get:
cheese... and pickle.
You want, you eat,
and afterwards you have eaten.
No lying awake resentful,
listening to it snore.
Safe snacks.
It comes recommended.
Re:ISO's pickle quote made me think of this... in_search_of: Excellent pickle poem... on many levels. I just made Amola some grilled cheese the other day, and as I was driving home I was thinking that it had been a long time since I had a grilled cheese and pickle sandwich (one of my favorites! I love grilled cheese and pickles...)
And as for the pickle quote...
This came from my first ojar gathering, 5 of us in St. Louis, and I was telling a story that I did not want picadilly (pic to hear, at least not until I told him....) so SS made everyone take a pic oath. Well, then we had skavachi, SS, Sully, and Frid and I sitting around. (I think everyone was there by that point). Well, Skav being Skav, and 1/2 deaf and 1/2 silly said take what....so we repeated the "pic oath" and he thought both times that we said he had to take a pickle...
So for last christmas I get a package in the mail, and it is a Glass Pickle curtesy of SS...
So now, all I have is my love, my life, my undying gratitude, and the pic oath!
My first ojar gathering inspiring posts! how awesome!
Re:ISO's pickle quote made me think of this... teacherwriterguy: Alright - now I'm just wondering who makes glass pickles.
