cheap eats [pickled radishes]

I love all things vinegary- pickles, kimchi, saurkraut, olives, the whole gang. My grandfather got into making pickles a longggg time ago, and they're kindof a family staple. So when I came home with these two beautiful, big radishes, but couldn't use them fast enough, I figured prolonging their life through vinegar was a good call.


These are truly cheap eats, friends- the radishes were 2 for $1 (the little green peppers are 5 for $1, the padrones $2.50 a pint, the potatoes were $1 for both, 1lb of arugula for $4, can't even make this stuff up). I'm telling you, southern living is gonna save me a boatload.

I used this recipe for pickled radishes, They turn a lovely rosy color after a few yours. Aren't they pretty in pink?

Pretty, yes, tasty, no. I'm damn sure this is a fine recipe, but know what you shouldn't do? Read teaspoon as tablespoon when measuring out your sugar and salt. Yeah, don't do that.
