Kind of a Big Dill

It's hot out there, y'all. And all that hot is terrible for my creativity and motivation. Mix in a general sense that we're witnessing the accelerating decline of the American empire, and I got not much for a hungry readership. On the bright side, it's OBFT week, so I'll get to pickle much of my ennui. 

Mmmm, pickles. I have one every day for lunch. 

My go to are these, from Grillo's - excellent snap, just enough kick:

Over the past few months, I've discovered a local vendor who's usually posted up at the Farmer's Market in my town. They're called The Big Brine, and I'm currently digging their serrano chili-enhanced spears. Could be a little crisper, but the flavor is outstanding. 

As much as I love a good pickle, I'm not down with the increasing trend of brewers including pickle brine in their beers. Even my guys at Grillo's and Lord Hobo have succumbed:


I'm not trying to ferment any kind of revolution here, just saying this isn't my dill. Stay cool out there, friends. Heat'll make your brain think weird thoughts.
