Welcome!

the pickle project:

12 months, 12 pickles.

we will:
-find the tastiest pickled concoctions from across the globe (and maybe time).
-concoct these pickles, using ingredients including but not limited to vegetables, fruits, vinegars, spices (Kristina is in SF, Shilpi is in DC, and we will stop at nothing to track down said ingredients)
-consume pickles, with or without various other foods
-follow tangents inspired by the pickles, including but not limited to historical context, cultural context, imagined contexts

finally,

document everything pickle related on this blog

Kristina! hey, girl! shall we talk calendar?
