Well, flash forward thirty years and of course my parents and any others in my life that know about "pickle days" have never let me live it down. I have actually developed a taste for pickles since then, but I have to be in a certain mood.
For example, last Wednesday Hottie Husband and I were eating lunch at a deli and my sandwich included a pickle on the side. He tried to insist that I had to eat the pickle since it was indeed Pickle Day. I tried to explain to him that eating a pickle on Pickle Day wasn't mandatory, but optional. It was just an opportunity to eat said pickle if I felt like it.
Then I went grocery shopping on Sunday and picked up a jar of pickles. On Monday I decided that I felt like eating a pickle. HH caught me in the act. "It's not Pickle Day!!!" he insisted. Well, yeah, but I felt like having a pickle.
HH just doesn't get it. I made the rules, I can break them, right?
Oh yeah, I also can't eat a grape unless a bell rings. Another long story...

How funny --- As a kid I only ordered the hamburger at McDonald's because of the pickle.
VERY quirky! I love it...and making your own decisions f-ing rocks (I'm finally deciding)....even if it is breaking the pickle day rule! Didn't you feel like you were being such a bad girl?
;-)
I have quirks as well, but not so much about food, more about cleaning. Oh, but if I take a coffee to work (either make it at home or drive through and pick one up), I won't take the first sip until I am at work and settled into my desk.
Hooray for pickle day!
I still don't like pickles and as a kid, it used to infuriate me to find them on my mcdonald's cheeseburger! ;-)
I have a fear of pickles. Similar to my fear of things with tiny eyes.
I just made 5 gallons of homemade pickles. They are yummy but I am sure they will last me all year.
And my husband always gets frustrated when I break rules. I am awesome at breaking rules!

So funny! I think I proclaimed Tuesdays and Sundays No Pickle Day, so I could toss said pickles in the trash without feeling wasteful.
Over from I Pick Pretty. We have sushi fridays. But, I must say I love sushi and could eat it any day of the week.
That is not a pickle dancing :D its a "Cactuar" A cactus creature from the Final Fantasy game series.
