It won't make dill pickle season come any sooner, but please check out this film featuring the late Simcha and Fanny Leibovich and their famous sour dills.

Puces Pop is long gone, but fondly remembered. Bread-making has resumed full-force. Sour beets are on the horizon. Sauerkraut, mushroom and onion pierogis have been assembled. And since last posting, a second (huge!) batch of sour pickles matured and departed. Fall  Winter is in the air.

Documentation is forthcoming.*

*my camera has been gobbled up by Parc Jarry.
