Yep. That is the “correct” family member.

Moonshine…HA HA. That one made me laugh out loud.

Now that you mention it…I can’t recall if I alluded to it in the “hostage” story, but when we were eating she asked if I wanted to wrap up the dollops of dressing and the tiny pieces of leftover shredded carrots from when I finished my salad. There were like 5 microscopic pieces. Of course, it just is not good etiquette to expect to take a “to go” from an all you can eat situation, nor would you wrap certain things up to sit in the heat in an indefinite car ride.

Oh, but if it has vinegar in it, it never goes bad! Right? LOL.

My guess? This is something she would typically make her own version of a ‘dirty martini’ with (usually with olive juice, but maybe she likes to ‘kick it up’ a notch). Or the Ball Jar-like container gave her moonshine flashbacks.
I would have asked if she wanted in a ‘to-go’ cup. No really. I would have. Blog on!
[Disclaimer: I only made these references after reading your last ‘hostage’ entry. I got the correct family member, right?]

That’s a good tip about the potato salad. I am going to try that. I assume that it would be dill versus other types?

I think you hit the nail on the head: “In your own home,” and i bet you don’t drink it straight out of the jar and then PUT THE JAR BACK IN THE FRIDGE. And this woman used to have a restaurant, allegedly. She must have ignored what she learned in the food safety course unless she never took it.

I don’t drink the “pepper” water. But have been known to drink my pickle or green olive water. Of course in the comfort of MY own home.

I do use the pickle water in my potato salad dressing….I put mustard, mayonnaise, seasoning, onions and about a 1/2 cup pickle juice in a jar and then shake the jar contents to make the dressing a smoother consistency. Otherwise just adding the mustard and mayo I get lumps and broken up potato’s!! My family has done it this way for years. Works great….

Good luck with your pepper juice sniper!! Aka MIL!! LOL
