Even in cooking, aside from artificially dyed foods, pink is rare. Other than certain fish and meat, pink is not a common food color. But it was with delight that I made pink pickles last week. Let me explain...
One of my good friends has a sweet little girl. Her older brother is good friends with R, and recently she tagged along with her big brother for a play date. I was in heaven: I was able to do all sorts of girlie-girl play, stickers, coloring (my boys like to draw, but coloring, not so much) and the like.
Inspired by having a girl with which to create in the kitchen, I had her help me make something new: pink pickles. Not actually cucumbers, these pickles are made out of radishes.
We cleaned up some radishes, sliced them and added them to a jar I had on hand, and mixed them with the simple pickling recipe below. Oh. my. goodness. These pickled radishes exceeded any expectation of good. They are crazy good.
I know, it's a tough sell: picked radishes=crazy good? It's true. I dare you to try them!
Pickled Pink Radishes
2 bunches radishes
½ cup rice vinegar
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
⅓ cup white sugar
Rinse and dry the radishes. Slice them into quarter-inch slices. Place them into a jar or bowl.
In a microwave safe dish or glass pyrex measuring cup, pour the vinegar and water together. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Add the salt and sugar, and stir until they are dissolved. Pour over the radishes.
Stir. Cover and refrigerate, at least one hour, or until they begin to turn pink.
Eat. Oooh and ahhh. Repeat.
Makes about 2-3 cups pickled radish.
Will keep in your refrigerator for 3-4 weeks, but ours were gone in mere days.
Something pink!

Yeah, I just saw ruffles in a picture. Not a normal thing around here!
My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
