This has been an adventurous week over here. I crossed two, yes TWO<\/em>, things off my cooking bucket list!<\/p>\n Whoa \u2013 big things!<\/p>\n On Wednesday I cleaned and prepared mussels<\/a> for the first time. This one I\u2019m almost ashamed to admit. For the amount of mussels I\u2019ve consumed in my life, I feel like I should have gotten to this eons ago. Nevertheless, they were amazing. White wine, lemon juice, fennel seeds, garlic\u2026 you get the picture. (I used this recipe<\/a>, just not on a grill.) And yes, I ate all of them.<\/p>\n The second kitchen feat was homemade pickled vegetables. Whaaat? I know. Crazy.<\/p>\n Or is it?<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n After making them, I say hell no!<\/p>\n I used to think of pickled veggies as one of those things that just\u2026 exists. You go to the salsa bar and boom \u2013 there they are. Like croissants. Those aren\u2019t a thing you make, they\u2019re just there!<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re weirded out right now, I feel ya. But let me ask you two things:<\/p>\n 1. Can you boil water?<\/p>\n 2. Can you slice vegetables?<\/p>\n If you answered yes to both those questions, you\u2019re on the road to pickle some veggies! Woooo!<\/p>\n If you answered no\u2026 then we\u2019ll have to save that for another post I guess.<\/p>\n What cured my pickling apprehension was Ted Allen\u2019s feature in a recent Food Network<\/em> issue which highlighted his new cookbook, In My Kitchen<\/em><\/a>. I looked at the recipe and thought, \u201cOh\u2026 that\u2019s it<\/em>?!\u201d<\/p>\n So much of my life spent not<\/em> pickling!!<\/p>\n As I mentioned earlier, it\u2019s about as simple as pouring some hot liquid over sliced vegetables.<\/p>\n And according to Ted, you can pickle anything<\/strong> using this method. So if you\u2019re a pickled veggie fan, I\u2019ll let you get to slicing!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
