ingredients for the perfect pickle party

1. awesome fun people who like to pickle just as much as you and preferably have more experience than you or just more twitter followers that can answer questions like "do we really need to sterilize these jars?" unless you are a pickle master. in my case, my perfect pickle partners were donny and howie.

2. like, a shitton of kosher salt, jars, vinegar, and patience.

3. the national and andrew byrd pandora stations.

4. this recipe for pickled eggs from the fresh exchange and this recipe for pickle brine.

5. drumstick mixing spoons.

6. a direct line to eggboy's grandma who is apparently more a pickle master than everyone in brooklyn combined.
