Someone talk some sense into my husband
He's NUTS. We're going to a BBQ/pool party this weekend, which all the guests have been asked to bring a side dish. Mike wants to bring, get this, Kool-Aid pickles. Yep. Kool-Aid pickles. How many different ways can I say YUCK?
Mike saw an article about these "delicacies" in The New York Times and well, if it's in the New York Times' food section it must be good, right? Check out the article here.
Here are a couple of different recipes I found for Kool-Aid pickles. Enjoy ('cause I'm not about to!).
