Please do tell me, if this only happens to me.
One day you open the fridge and look inside. You’re searching for a good nosh, a little something to nibble on. You move around this jar and that one, trying to find that yummy something…
When suddenly you realize with shock and awe that there are a half a kazillion mustards in there! And as though not to be outdone by their stalwart compadres, there is a full kazillion of pickles!
How did this happen, you think to yourself??
And, we’re not done yet…oh no, not hardly. Each and every jar and plastic bottle you come across has just one scant tablespoon of interesting mustard inside of it. In the mysterious case of pickles there are exactly and only two of them floating around in there.
I ask myself again – how did I end up with a fridge full of mickles and pustard??
So, I set out to fix it soon if not sooner! I will not purchase or open another jar until these are gone! Gone! Eaten up and devoured with relish! Luckily I don’t find myself with too much of that… relish, I mean.
My eyes are wide open for anything that goes well with pickles and mustard. Pronto! Turkey or ham or cheese for certain, bread or tortillas or crackers, yes, indeed. Those should all be just fine and dandy. Hopefully you have them handy. I do love peanut butter and cookies… but neither of them go well with mustard or pickles…so, they are definitely out.
My New Year’s resolution is a simple one. Eat up and finish off all those tiny bits and bots of pustard and mickles. I think there’s a good chance I’ll be successful with it. Dobby is behind me all the way! I think though, that it’s because he knows that it will make more space in the fridge for things that he likes. He’s not a big fan of m&p…😉
On a far prettier note, I walked outside this morning just in time to see the sky pink up. It lasts for so short a time and never ceases to be a treat when you catch it at the right moment…
The Happiest of New Year’s to you and to yours! May you always have enough to eat and more. And, may you always have something nearby to remind you of the beauty of life…
Take Care and see you next time!
Suzanne ❤️

Mustards make life better. My wife and I have four varieties of mustard in the frig right now. My favorite mustard, I think, is Guldens spicy brown mustard. Anyway, happy new year! Take care.

You are so right! I think that’s why I have so many is because they’re fun wonderful and fun to try. My favorite new mustard this year is a German one by Alstertor. Thank you! Take care, Neil. ☺️

It happens when you’re at the store and go, “How much mustard do we have left? Do we have pickles?” Then to be safe, you pick up some more, lol. A blessed and happy new year to you, also.

I wish you could see me laughing because I do exactly that! And, as I grab that extra jar I tell myself that it won’t go to waste. 😄. Thank you, Herb! ☺️

One of my favourite sandwiches is the pickle, pepper, and mustard sammy! You can put whatever else in there, but those are the staples. Extra spices never hurt.
I discovered this sandwich one day when I realized I didn’t have much in the fridge… but what I did have was more than enough 🙂

Oh, now see, that’s the perfect place to begin any sandwich! Growing up my favorite pickle was the bread and butter style. I still love those but I’ve branched out now and like to try other varieties too.
More than enough is a pretty wonderful discovery…☺️

My solution for a fridge full of mickles and pustard is the old standby garbage soup. Chuck some complementary leftovers in with the mickles and pustard–and Bob’s youruncle!
