So, earlier this week, I came to a realization of sorts. I LOVE pickles. Well...let me specify because I am prejudice when it comes to my pickles. I love DILL pickles, and ONLY dill pickles. Bread & Butters...GTFO. Screw off, Sweet Gherkins. I'm talkin' about hamburger chips, dill spears, and big, fat, honkin' whole dill pickles. They are delish. No...NOT relish. De-lish. As in...delicious, yummy, and unbelievably good. To be quite honest, I am currently about halfway finished with a jar of spears that I opened a couple of hours ago. I plan on finishing them up before the night is through. Then, I might even drink the dill pickle juice. If that's wrong, then I don't want to be right.
Dill pickles are actually pretty decent for you, too. I mean, zero calories, zero fat, zero carbs, zero cholesterol. Those are what we are trying to avoid, right? However, the dill does take a little bit of heat due to the sodium content. Depending on the size of your dill, you could be eating up to 50% of your daily intake of sodium...in just one tasty serving. Sodium causes you to retain water, causing you to bloat and essentially prevent any real weight loss. I guess to offset that, you can drink more water, therefore peeing it (and the extra sodium) out. I dunno. I am not a qualified nutritionist or anything. I just know that I loves me some dill pickles. :-)
P.S. That's my 13 month old, John 3, up there...enjoying himself some dill hamburger chips. He knows a good thing when he eats it.
