Depression Era Corn Chowder
This is the recipe my grandmother used when she was growing up during the great depression. 70 years later, it's still a delicious, satisfying form of comfort food. Serve immediately with saltine crackers. Tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator over night. In my grandmother's day, they would have 'refrigerated' it on the back porch overnight!

Chef John's Bread and Butter Pickles
My bread and butter pickles are made with sliced pickling cucumbers in a sweet and tangy brine. They're soft and tender, but at the same time they have the most amazing crunch! This recipe is for refrigerator pickles โ for longer storage, you can process the pickles in canning jars in a boiling water canner.
