A test method is for her to have a seated position that allows for all of her hair to lay in a bowl on the scale. Key detail, the weight needs to be zerooes out or know how to ....

Dually noted would like to learn your recipe. Even if it's a secret family mix, at least knowing the ingredients alone goes alot further to help me experiment with the 'spirit of your creation's......

Hot Sweet Pickles

Medium onion
Jalapeno peppers
Garlic cloves

These spices are per quart jar.
1/4 tsp pickling spices
1/4 tsp. mustard seed
1/4 tsp. whole cloves
1/4 tsp. ground turmeric
1 tsp salt

Brine

1 qt. vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup sucralose

Put jars, rings and lids on to steam or sterilize.

Mix vinegar, water, sugar and sucralose (can use sugar only if desired) in sufficient quantity to fill desired number of jars. The amounts given will do about 3 to 3 1/2 quarts. Bring to a boil and keep at low bowl for filling jars.

Wash and slice cumbers, 3/16" to 1/4" thick.
Fill quart jars with cucumber slices, 1/4 of a medium onion, 3 to 4 cloves of garlic peeled and 1 or 2 jalapenos cut into quarters lengthwise.

This same recipe can be used for pickling jalapeno peppers, green cherry tomatoes or even mixed veggies such as cauliflower , carrots and pearl onions.

Thanks for posting this, @R2elk ! Just wondering... Does the sugar serve some vital function in sweet pickles (since you've left some in)? Or could a person simply sweeten to taste?

In many things, sugar does have a chemical effect especially in baked goods. Since fake sugar (sucralose) is actually an acid of sugar, it will not react the same with acids (vinegar) as pure sugar will.

Some people prefer to use brown sugar in the belief it is better for you than white sugar. In my opinion, sugar just like honey is sugar as far as the body is concerned.

From my college days in the dorm, a few close female friends had a curious dialogue that ended with someone 'borrowing' a small scale from one of the science dept labs......
They had a breast weighing party in the dorm room.

I was one of the only 'guys' privy to the event & the numerical facts the same evening it occured. So my biased slightly educated guess would definitely compromise this dialogues outcome.

Dude, I missed the boobie weigh-in!! I should weigh mine.... before nursing and after nursing. Sounds like an interesting experiment.

Good morning everyone! I promised garden pictures awhile back. I decided to put them in their own thread, because there will eventually be a LOT of them. Rain today, will take more pics when I get back out there though.
This is what I waste my time doing, when I should be doing my school work!

Pickling, like kumbucha requires sugar as a fuel to chemically percolate and produce a nice fermented outcome.

The fermented pickles and dilly beans and such I make are more like kraut, no sugar in them. I have onion kraut pickling on my counter right now, and just finished up some pickled mushrooms that turned out AMAZING
