I love this brand. The garlic dills are good too and they also make pickled green tomatoes. YUM.

I've heard good things on the interweb and I know they are in the Jewish/Kosher section of one of the local supermarkets. I'll give them a whirl, garlic dills first. Depending on what they have.
Frog?

They look delicious!
It's just a matter of getting DH acclimated to the idea. DH should just go along with whatever I want to do...it would be like a zoo here!
The pickles came and I didn't care for them. DH, who isn't much of a pickle fan, thinks they're good. I think the problem is, to me they have a similar taste to olives, and I don't like olives. (Though I would not be opposed to naming the frog Olive, because it's such a cute name.) Maybe Olive if it's a girl, Oliver if it's a boy.
Frog! He's going to be incredible!

I am sorry that you didn't care for them, at least your husband likes them so they aren't a total waste. I am not a huge olive fan either and they are a huge part of many Mediterranean dishes.
Are you talking about this grow a frog kit?

If so, have you read the reviews?? It sounds like a lot of work for a long time to me. You can't even touch them either according to what one reviewer said. Those reviews made the fondue pot look even more appealing.
I'm sorry you didn't like the pickles too. Amazon will take them back.
I just finished looking up "grow a Frog'...
all I can say is: yuck! Definitely not for me.. I prefer my kitty.....
They are very good. I love all kinds of pickles but you can't find many good ones in the grocery store. Giant Food used to sell the best kosher and dill pickles in pickle barrels years ago but they don't sell them anymore.

A case of 12 cans.
Thanks. I am glad he likes them, too. I will give some to my cousin to try. She and the kids might like them.
That's the frog! It did get terrible reviews, didn't it?
I prefer kitties, too. I am definitely low on cats. I've only got four.

When I was young, the town where I lived had a mall with a Swiss Colony Cheese store. It was fantastic. They sold pickles like that, out of a barrel. I wonder if they even have "box" stores anymore, or just sell online and in catalogs...
I love homemade pickles. I am going to see if the folks on the way to my mom's house are still selling them. They have a honor system; produce and pickles at a little stand in their front yard. They have a coffee jar to put the money in. The pickles are expensive, but they are so worth it. And the price of home canning supplies has gone up, so I understand why they have to charge so much.
That's a bummer about the pickles. I don't care for olives either, so that would likely be my issue, too. Although if your husband likes them, it's not a complete waste. But still....
If you're interested, I can PM you the recipe for the lime pickles. They are seriously good. A very old recipe from my grandmother. It's some what of an effort, because you soak them in lime overnight, then drain them, and then soak them in clear water and then drain them and so on. I know I have to usually sit down and figure out what day they're actually going to be ready for putting in the jars, so I don't plan anything else for that time. But they are worth it.

I would love to have the recipe!
I bought a jar of rather expensive pickles in a local general store. They are pretty good, but are nowhere close to this pickles I buy at the roadside stand. I fear I have developed such a taste for those particular pickles that store bought pickles can't measure up anymore.
I wonder if that is why I don't care for pickles now. I grew up on homemade pickles and now I don't care for them. I will specifically ask that pickles be left off of anything that normally has pickles added.
His too.
I was raised on homemade pickles. I think that is why I have 2 unopened jars in my refrigerator.
