Peck of Pickled Zucchini

My husband is a non-profit ministry founder. A skier. A volleyball player. A brat-and-summer-squash griller. He is a wash-the-dishes-right-after-dinner kind of dish washer, and a "sure, I'd love to run to Michael's Craft store with you" kind of pal. And, he is a Panther-who-pickles-pecks-of-peppers. Or slices of zucchini and yellow squash, as the case may be.

I was not familiar with his pickling ways when I married him, but boy am I delighted with them.

Today, I came down to the kitchen where he was prepping dinner and noticed this in the fridge:

Pickled squash!

Jay was preparing to grill some brats when he thought, "I sure do wish we had some more of that cheesy bread from the other day. That would be great with these brats"

But we had eaten all the cheesy bread, so he thought, "I wonder if I could hollow out a zucchini and stuff the brat in it..." He ixnayed that plan, along with a number of other potential plans, before landing on the mother of all plans: PICKLING! He would pickle some vegetables and cover his brat with them!

So he diced up some squash, covered them with pepperoncini juice, and stuck a teacup on top to keep all of the squash pieces fully submerged in pepper juice.

Don't I have an innovative husband?

It's just one of the may things I love about him.

Happy weekend, folks!
