Pickle Juice

I have a friend who uses the pickle juice in a martini. She calls them pickletinis. She loves them. Just pickle juice and your choice of alcohol.

I have never tried their chicken minis but I live for a chicken biscuit from there with strawberry jelli! Throw in a orange juice and I would have to quit my diet that I started today!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

My favorite cut of steak is a medium rare (more on the rare side) filet, with crumbled blue cheese on the side.

Pickle Juice

Thanks to Martha Stewart's Living, I learned that quartered green tomatoes are perfect for pickling in left over pickle juice. Yum!

Pickle Juice

i love pickle juice, probably because I have hypothyroidism and addison's disease. But I love salty things. The pickle juice martini is like a really good dirty martini (which is usually just olive juice and either gin or vodka). I've seen little cans of pickle juice in the supermarket but have yet to try it.

Pickle Juice

We run a Girls Softball League Concession Stand and sell the clausen pickles, but also we freeze the juice in sauce cups and the kids go NUTS over Picklecicles!!! In 3 weeks time we have gone thru over 150 picklecicles. Now if we can just get them to buy the pickles, so we can buy more juice!!! We need to figure out how to make homemade pickle juice??

There's always pickle soup.

Here's a blog that discusses it.

wow. everyone is a bit stirred up. didn't mean to cause a train wreck. i lived in the south and i have many friends that worked at chick fil a and yes, there was a mandatory prayer period at the birmingham locations and yes the owner donated to Focus on the Family to keep Same Sex Partners from receiving equal state benefits and yes a Muslim man sued the company for being fired for his beliefs and yes the franchise owners are screened to make sure you are married and christian. so, i don't have a big problem with them..i just won't eat there (like Cracker Barrel or Dominos).

i just believe food journalism that fawns over where a chicken came from or whether or not a piece of lettuce was attended to properly should also keep in mind other social issues. that's all.

bafflednyc: my little brother has worked at Chik-Fil-A for several years now (down South) and they could care less whether they go to church or not. I called him up and asked him if he there were any gay employees and he said that there have been a handful working there over the years and no one really cares about their sexual orientation. No one has ever been fired for being gay and no one shoves religion down anyone's throat.

They are closed on Sundays so employees may attend Church IF THEY WISH and they play Christian music over the speakers and use Veggie Tales toys in the kids meals, but that is hardly over the top.

It sounds like you have something personal against them and that's pretty sad.

Chik-Fil-A is HUGE where I live and I adore their food (and their cleaning practices......they clean more than any other establishment I have ever seen...that place is SPOTLESS) and they have absolutely delicious nuggets and waffle fries. I love the little mini's too!

Oh how I miss the chicken littles. A few years ago, my friend was still able to get them at a KFC in her hometown in Indiana. She would get a bunch and bring them back to Philly for us. I guess they soon realized that they were like 15 years behind on not serving them and stopped. The mini's are a decent substitute though I always crave them on Sundays when chick-fil-a is closed. Sigh.

we love us some chick-fil-a. too bad we crave them most when they are closed (sundays).... chick-fil-a and cookout (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cook_Out_%28restaurant%29&oldid=181137241) are some serious eats...
