My partner got that on hers.
I got a mix of that and “a pleasure to have in class, but needs to work on not distracting others”
How I went 31 years with no raised eyebrows is funny to me, so many red flags attributed to being “quirky” or “eccentric”.
I think pickling cucumbers are supposed to stay crisper, but a lot of it is technique too. Last batch of lacto pickles I did, I didn’t cut the blossom end off and apparently that keeps them snappy, supposedly tannins and stuff like calcium chloride help too, I didn’t add bayleaf until they’d pretty much already done their thing.
Tasted great but texture wasn’t what I wanted, way too soft, they got used for potato salad though. Did the same thing with jalapeño though and those turned out amazing, they have a different flavour than the ones you can usually buy, but it somehow works.
