YUCK!
you know what i do sometimes?
i spend more time than the average person does...
looking for PICKLES!
why?
because i usually come home with the wrong kind (by accident.)
despite my time wasted making sure this does not happen.
this has happened to me on more than a few occassions.
you'd think by now i'd know exactly which pickles to grab.
that way, i can
come home.
make a chicken salad, pickle, & chip sandwich.
and be satisfied.
but what happens instead?
i go to the grocery store yesterday.
spend more than a minute looking and staring at the pickle jars.
eventually grabbing and walking away with the kind that i think say something about them being dill.
i do not read the jar twice because after all, this is always my problem.
so i assume by now i know which ones i am buying for sure.
turns out i should have read again.
i come home from class today, to make my chicken salad, pickle, & chip sandwich.
which is just not the same without a perfect pickle or two.
it's usually not even worth eating without a pickle.
that's how much i think a pickle makes this sandwich.
anyways, i make my wrap, slice it, and take a bite.
kind of disappointed and not quite sure why.
how could it taste anything but perfect?
i thought it tasted a little sweet, but not thinking it could be the chicken or the pickles, i tasted again thinking
"hmm...maybe it's the wrap? i never use wraps. maybe it's a little different."
only to taste again, recognize that disgusting pickle taste that i hate.
run to the fridge. open to the door.
and what do i see?
"sweet bread n butter' on the label!
all that to say...it bummed me out! i spent like 3 bux on those stinkin pickles.
all a waste.
i just hate the taste of them.
who wants a pickle that tastes like anything but dill??
what bumms me is that i have done this before!!
i need to read more carefully, even when i think i am specifically reading more carefully.
so what did i do?
i tried being clever.
not sure it is going to work.
i had just used the last pickle from my correct pickle jar and unfortunately had already dumped all the juice into the sink.
(no i did not/do not drink it)
BUT i did have another brand of dill pickles with one more in it.
and an almost full jar of juice.
so i dumped my sweet n buttery pickle juice down the sink.
rinsed off all the remaining juice on those bad boys.
n poured in my left over, correct, pickle juice.
you think it's gonna work?
i'll have to wait and find out. i'm praying so.
worst case scenario...they taste sweet n buttery n dilly.
n then i throw them away.
knowing that i tried.
truly,
Virginia
