Pickles

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope you are feeling great, keeping safe, and enjoying yourself.  It's pretty casual here for me today.  It was a nice cool morning, but for some reason I didn't sleep in that much.  Only until 8:30!  I had ramen for lunch, so the first I did when I woke up was to make the broth so that it could simmer for a couple of hours while I did something else.  I love ramen!  The broth was perfect today.

I didn't intend on making pickles, but when I bought some veggies for my stir fry on Monday, the guy threw 4 cucumbers in for free.  I love pickles, but I don't make them very often because they don't usually cross my mind.  The video above likes to add all sorts of stuff, typical of any YouTube cooking video.  YouTube cooks like to add all sorts of stuff to their food, I guess they think it makes them stand out?  All I use for pickles is salt water.  The intensity of the salt is important of course, so I add salt to taste.  When it's strong enough, then I pour it over the cucumbers (or cabbage sometimes) in a jar, without using any fire whatsoever.  It takes about 2 weeks in the cooler for my pickles to be ready, and about a 5 day window to eat them before they turn into sludge.  So I try not to make too much.  But when the pickles are in their prime, it would be so easy to guzzle them all down.

I used the Slink Physique body for Mary's avatar's wardrobe today.  I usually use the Meshbody Classic.  The hands on the Slink aren't as graceful, while the Slink body isn't as smooth and curvy, plus there's a slight seam at the neck.  But I have thousands more clothes and shoes for the Slink Physique over the Meshbody Classic:
