No, they were not Nita's pickles; they were MINE!! I was asked to
donate a jar for the auction and got to thinking how humiliated I would
be if no one bid on them so I made him come along to the event to open
the bidding. Turns out they put three jars of different pickles in one
basket for the lot. And he just kept bidding!! LOL!! I told the story
on my website. I think the note is still there. He also got a jar of
pickled beets out of it. Sweet HeyZeus! And I'm pretty sure that Nita
doesn't put calcium chloride or high fructose corn syrup in her pickles.
I can tell you who to ask about it over in Chaska if you want to. :-0)
