| Crunch Ginger Pickled Cucumbers Around My French Table |
These pickles are super easy to make. A little ginger, a bit of vinegar and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Leave the in the fridge for a couple of hours and voila, your cucumbers are pickles! I used a hot house cuke and I definitely recommend it. The milder flavor lets the ginger shine!
A friend and I took a road trip to Memphis to spend a few days with another friend. I LOVE spending time with my favorite girls! I made these for our 4th of July cook out. Everyone enjoyed them and I'm already wanting another cucumber so I can make them again.
We went to the Peabody to see the ducks, walked on Beale Street and spent time floating in the pool. The most fun of all, though, was spending time with my friends. A special few days well worth the 8 hour drive:)
I hope everyone enjoyed the pickles and the 4th as much as I did. Check out all the French Friday posts!
Your cucumbers look inviting! But I guess I´ll grab the margarita first!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! Your trip to Memphis sounds fabulous...nothing like quality time with good friends :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Paula, the margarita looks inviting but I know your crunchy pickled cucumbers were delicious too ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Memphis and would like to visit! Sounds like you enjoyed your trip;-)
I could go for both the drink and the pickles on such a hot summer night :-) Very lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour Ginger-Pickled Cucumbers (with the peel on)look very fresh and they were a perfect dish for the month of July, I agree. It is so nice that you got to spend time with your girlfriends in Memphis. I have never visited Memphis but whenever I read something about it, it sounds like an incredibly interesting place to visit.
ReplyDelete...the "tmk" there is my husband´s account, I realized too late that I was using his account but I am sure he agrees with my comment - so we commented twice. Hope you do not mind.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
Guyla, How wonderful to spend a few days with your girlfriends! I’m sure a fun time was had by all! Those margaritas look very good…as does your very lovely cucumber salad! I love that you left the skin on…adds a nice touch of color! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked the pickles!!! The cocktail looks refreshing too!!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad these were a hit for you. Me, I would love to have a Margarita in Memphis!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun girl trip! The corn soup was really great, but I recommend leaving out the extra water.
ReplyDeleteVery refreshing summer recipe, glad you liked it. Tricia and her family loved it as well as hubby. Will probably repeat this one
ReplyDeletea lot this summer. A few years back, Tricia's family, hubby and I took a cross country trip and stopped in Memphis. We
stopped at the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks and thought they were really something strutting through the lobby. We also
had a great meal at the Germantown Commissary restaurant. Have a great weekend.
I love that top photo. It makes the cucumbers look all mysterious! I really enjoyed this recipe, and it made enough for my husband and to share them at a couple of meals! I didn't try these on the kids for some reason.
ReplyDeleteYour pickles also shine with the skin on. Hothouse is milder huh? It's interesting that you noticed the ginger really comes thru. I'm not sure that the ginger is mine is predominant. I went with an extra pinch of red pepper flakes.
ReplyDeleteThe cucumbers look good, but the margarita looks better :-)
