a photo from yesterday

yes, i did pickle happy hour with friends from my program.  it was rainy and i freaked out that no one would come (i'd organized the outing), but 10 people came (yay!) and we drank beer, ate fried foods, laughed a lot, and tried all these kinds of pickles!  from the back: pickled carrots, jalapeños, green beans, beets, tomatoes, and three kinds of traditional pickles.  amazing!  and i think we exceeded our recommended salt intake for the day.
