Just. For the record. It's a reference to the Ocean Vuong book "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous"

I love it when folks tag their friends by name when reblogging my posts, not just because of the gesture, but because the names involved are always something like "emilymoonglow", "theothersteve", and "dickmangler9000". It's seemingly always the third one, too!

A few months ago, I was in the mood for pickles. But I wanted INTERESTING pickles ...

Okay, starting again. I'm hypersensitive in most contexts other than food. Everything is too loud, bright, or painful. But taste ... I CRAVE flavour, you guys. Especially strong flavours.

So I head out to get pickles, and buy some normal ones (cucumbers), but I'm not into pickled onions or peppers, so the normal grocery store isn't helping me. Fine. I'm see what the ASIAN grocery store has!

It has many many pickled things. Very exciting. I buy a few, including pickled lemons. Because I like lemons. A lot.

It turns out that most pickled foods are both sweeter AND saltier than the garlic pickled cucumbers I enjoy. The lotus root becomes a mostly edible salad. Most of the others don't grab me. But I don't want to waste my lemons. What do you make with pickled lemons?

Apparently, you make salty lemonade. Which is lemonade, made with pickled lemons. And it's salty. After adding a bunch of lemon juice it was interesting, but not a new staple.

And then today. It's cold out. My dash is full of spiced ciders. Cider takes too long, but I want a hot and flavourful drink as well! So why not try some hot lemonade? And since I want it strong, maybe add some of my pickled lemons?

You guys.

It is strong.

It ... I ended up adding ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon, and star anise to try to change the salt from the main note to part of a chorus. I added a bunch more hot water, to lower the volume. I added some vodka, for some harmony.

It MIGHT be good? It's warm, strong, and lemony. It makes my taste buds very excited. I'm enjoying the experience of drinking it.

But.

I'm also finding a lot of distractions between sips. Some of them seem a bit desperate. I keep smacking my lips, and licking them, in some weird reflex I don't understand. I have created something!

I'm just not sure what.
