Nothing to see here, just a pickle turkey in Jordans.

You know, just your standard turkey with pickles feathers rockin’ Ray Bans 

and some first edition Jordans.  

This guy has gotten the Humpty Dance stuck in my head AAAAALLLLLLLLL 

day long!  (Much to my husband’s chagrin)

“My nose is big, nu-uh, I’m not ashamed, 

Big like a pickle, I’m still gettin’ paid…”

Pickles are Spooky

Jack-o-lanterns are notoriously fearful of spiders.  The other pumpkins and pickles have no sympathy for the little fella though.  So rude.

Putting the "Grill" in Grillo’s

Well, the end of August is here and Sam the Pickle Man knows what that means…it’s time to grill!!

Labor Day is the second most popular BBQ day in the United States coming in only slightly after the 4th of July in popularity.  (I made all that up.)  And it’s right around the corner!

It’s time for one last hurrah with your friends before the days get shorter and the nights turn chilly.  

Head over to Grillo’s Pickles in Inman Square in Somerville to get some pickles for your Labor Day BBQ and make sure to tell them Mandee sent you!

(Not because you’ll get a discount but because I want them to think I’m sooooooo cool.)

Happy Grilling!!

July is National Pickle Month!

Good Morning and happy first day of National Pickle Month!  To kick off this month-long pickle party I went over to Grillo’s Pickles, my local pickle store, painted their window, ate way too many pickles and talked about world pickle domination.

Travis Grillo, Chief Pickle Officer, started making and selling pickles in 2008 using his family’s 100 year old recipe.  He was slingin’ them out of a pickle cart at the Park Street T stop 2 for $1 and now has made his way into Whole Foods all over New England, Fenway Park and at his very own pickle store.

The store is located in Inman Square, Somerville (on the Cambridge/Somerville line which I hear is referred to as “Camberville” but I’m not buying it) at 1075 Cambridge Street and they are definitely worth a trip.

Go over, check out the window, have some pickles (try the hot ones they’re AMAZING!) and tell them Mandee sent you!  Happy Pickle Month!!
