Summer
Pickled Watermelon Rind and Pickled Beets – I’m in a Pickle!
In Act 5, Scene 1, of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, King Alonso asks his jester, Trinculo, “How camest thou in this pickle?” And the drunk Trinculo – who has indeed gotten into trouble – responds “I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last …”
Well, I’m not in that sort of pickle. I made Watermelon Rind Pickles.
Yogurt Salad
Yogurt Salad is easy to make with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and mint. It’s perfect for the summer and goes so well with Mediterranean burgers.
