Remember the holiday song that goes like this... "The weather outside is frightful!"  But not here in Texas - we have been kicking off the holiday season with beautiful days in the mid and high 70s.  We are sure we will find ourselves in a pickle soon, scrambling for our coats and gloves but until then we are bopping around sharing our Original sweet and spicy pickle chips to every foodie we meet.
