Try this If you haven't, slice a fresh cuke and place them in a small bowl of vinegar in the fridge for a few ours. Store bought jarred pickles don't even compare. I save the vinegar from jars of banana peppers, pick some of the cherry tomatoes while they still have a little green on them, slice in half and drop into that jar. TASTY! I'll toss a few of my cyanne peppers in too for a little heat since she always buys the mild pepper rings for subs and such.
Spring onions go into a glass of water and into the fridge until suppertime. Chuck roast cooked in the electric frying pan with a little Worcestershire, then carrots and taters added later so they don't overcook, the spring onion on the side with homemade biscuits. Just dayum.
I think maybe I've gained a couple pounds just typing so much good grub. LOL
