Gramma Pickles : The Person

She's got a sparkly sweater, sparkly glasses, and red finger-nail polish (and usually a sparkly beer, too). She's the coolest Gramma I know!

Why do we call her "Gramma Pickles"?

Soon after my son was born, we were trying to figure out how to differentiate MY grandparents (now Great-Grandparents) from my parents who were first-time grandparents. Gramma had given us a huge jar of her famous pickles. We lovingly referred to the pickles as "Gramma Pickles" whenever we pulled them out to accompany our lunches. So the next time we saw her, SHE became Gramma Pickles, and the name stuck.

This is a jar of the current batch of Gramma Pickles (See the Recipe) :
