 Well, I'm sure this is unforgivable to the max, but......I made "Fau-tatoe" salad tonight to go with the hot wings. I mixed the cooked cauliflower, diced boiled eggs, mustard and mayo and spices, and...here's the bad part...1 small sweet pickle, diced well. I rinsed and dried the pickle before dicing it up...like that did any good...LOL The good news is, it was still a low carb dish, IMO...1/2 Cup for 2.5 carbs. For a person who previously would not touch cauliflower with a 10 foot pole, I ate it and really liked it  Sooooooo....how bad is this???????

| It's probably NOT all that bad - although I try REALLY hard to avoid sugar in anything, so I've switched to dill pickle relish in my cauliflower salad and just add 1 pkt. Splenda to the dressing mix. Works well for me, we love that stuff! Char Don't squat with yer spurs on! |

| I know, I know, I know....LOL...I haven't even LOOKED at a sweet pickle all year, but I figured if I had a snowball's chance in hot weather of getting my DH to try this dish, it HAD to have a wee bit of sweet pickle...hehe I did use some vinegar and splenda in the mustard and mayo dressing though. Next time, I will do something else...don't know what at the moment, but something LOL Shelley sg *********** "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" |

| LOL ROB!!!! I am going to try tweaking an old recipe for sweet pickles my mom makes. She takes a big jar of dill pickles, drains the juice. Fill the jar with water and apple cidar vinegar to within 2" or so of the top. Add (gasp, sugar-'bout a cup) and throw in a bouquet garni (or coffee filter filled and tightly closed with a rubberband) with pickling spices. Cover the jar with cellophane and screw the lid on tight!!!! Let is sit in the fridge for 4 days, rotating the jar upside down and rightside up each day. Make sure you put it in a bowl if it leaks while upside down. OOOOOOOOOoh I gotta try this with splenda. Think I'll go do this right now. And yeah, when are we not gonna be "newbies" anymore, hurumph........  Barb Atkins-3/14/03 174/151/135 "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." |

And Barb, my mom made those conversion dills to sweets also...she did it to be "thrifty" though...hehe. I don't think sugar cost as much back then...LOL Shelley sg *********** "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" |
