Pickles?

Ahhh, pickles and pregnancy go together, well, like pickles and pregnancy, no?

So my best friend, BethAnn, and I have been playing with the idea of creating a little specialty food business... and the item we've been researching the most is pickles (obviously, from the title!). We've been looking at cucumbers, green beans, okra, onions, beets, corn and sauerkraut. We've just started the research, however, and - lucky for ME, the pregnant one, we're going to start experimenting with recipe's between now and the end of the summer! Nice timing, don'tcha think?

We're also researching the venues in which we can introduce said specialty foods, and we're leaning towards the Farmers Markets. I think it's time to do some benchmarking - oh, and taste comparisons, which should be fun as well!

Now, if only I can shake this cold so that my taste buds will come back in full force...
