It's Pickle Day Hooray!

I'm still more or less feeling like hell from my incident with gluten last Monday. Aches, pains, and generally exhausted. Unfortunately, the world doesn't stop turning and wait for me. (Although I'd like to think sometimes that the world does revolve around me. B) ) So, that makes today PICKLE DAY! Tomorrow too probably. I've learned over the past few years that as long as I'm not so tired that I literally can't hold my head up, I can push through. So, I'm armed with excessive amounts of Dew (I know... don't lecture, I won't stop) and at my pickles.

I have some surprise downtime this afternoon though. I got three lugs of cucumbers washed and soaking in ice baths. My jars are all washed and sanitized. My garlic is peeled, all six bulbs ugh!!! At least I won't be attacked by vampires for at least a month while I stink. All I can do now is wait to pull those suckers out of the ice and get to slicing, jarring, boiling, pouring. It is gonna be a looong night. When we finish tonight though we'll know how many more days we need to spend working on it, I think we probably want about 100 or so pints to get us through the year. Mostly dill and maybe a few batches of bread and butter which I horde all for myself.

Know what sucks though? There is really only one true downside to making pickles, and it's that they aren't ready right away. When you make jams or other delicious things you can just eat them right away. Pickles take patience which is something I'm not so awesome at.

Yummy!

Sounds like you should hide one pint of bread and butter pickles in with your pickling supplies so that next year you can celebrate the completion of your duties on Pickle Day ;)

Ohmygosh... I can finally SIT!!! Just past 11 here and I'm finally getting to some leftovers and a heaping bowl of cucumber salad for supper. I had a KIND bar to get me through the night. I am beat, that's for sure. I want to do another lug but it'll have to wait until next week.

For now we have 18 pints of bread and butter, 41 pints and 11 quarts of dill all heat processed. We also did 5 pints and 7 quarts of refrigerator dills.

Your idea on saving a jar next year? Brilliant! I could almost kiss you.

I made 22 pints of dill pickles/hot pepper mix (like Tony Packos), 10 pints of garlic dill spears(for me), and 2 quarts of baby dills.

I love making pickles and hadn't done it in years. Recently when we were at the Farmer's market my hubby asked why I don't make them anymore. I decided to surprise him a couple of days later and made the pickles and peppers. I enjoyed the process so much..and I still had dill left over..so I got more pickles and made the spears and baby dills.

It's so easy! Clean the cukes and cut up. Add 1 clove garlic and 1 head of dill to each sterilized jar, then fill with the cukes and peppers ladle in the hot brine, add lids and process in a hot water bath. Remove and let cool. AND..wait for the wonderful ping sound of the jars sealing. :D

My son saw that I had made pickles and opened a jar..literally 6 hours after I made them. He said they were fantastic, but I couldn't imagine them being any good ater such a short time. I had to taste them even though I can't really do spicy right now. They were good!

How do you make refrigerator pickles?

There are lots of recipes all over the internet for refrigerator pickles. Open Original Shared Link is the one my hubby likes so it's what we use. I recommend waiting a bit longer than a day before you start eating them though and to be honest, they aren't exactly to my taste.

Oh my gosh, the ping!!! That is one of the best sounds in the whole world. It is the sound of a job well done, but more than that. It is the sound of knowing that job well done will be rewarded with deliciousness if you just have a bit if patience. I couldn't help cracking the world's biggest smile every time I heard it all day, even when all I could think about was how much everything hurt and how I couldn't wait to finish and take painkillers. PING! :D PING PING PING!!! :D :D :D

I've never done spicy ones, I'm just not that adventurous. I know what I like and I more or less stick to it. Pretty much doing what my grammy used to do. I actually did a whole quart that was about half pickles and half garlic though. OMG... I could live off pickled garlic I think.

Thanks for the link to the recipe! I like to try ones that others have tried and like. The addition of the spring onion is a bit different and sounds really good.

I think I'd like to try some of the fridge pickles?

Mooove over broccoli. (the market had it for 39 cents a bunch..I got lots) :D

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
