Eppy 139: The Star-Spangled Pickle

Eppy 139: The Star-Spangled PickleHappy Birthday, America! In this festive episode, Jean and Laura salute the red, white, and dill. We kick things off with a nod to the "Spirit of '76" — that famous painting of three scrappy patriots marching for freedom and independence. (Commemorated in Wellington, Ohio!) Then, naturally, we shift to pickles.Yes, pickles. The crunchy, tangy stars of today's show. We talk pickleball (with a neighborly PSA about not starting games at 6 a.m.), ponder when this pickle craze began, and taste-test some trendy treats: dill pickle popcorn, bagged pickle salad, and even air-fried cheese-wrapped pickles.Bonus tips: pickles might help with muscle cramps and gut health!And there's more: vegan brownies, tooth extractions (Laura's), and our undying love for honey-baked ham.Follow us and join the fun!
