hors d'oeuvres math

Question: Sally has to bring a dish to a New Year's Eve party at 7:00 PM but she only has $12 to spend. It is 6:00 PM. The supermarket is a five minute walk away. The party is a twenty minute drive away. What can she make and still get to the party on time?

Answer:
A (spicy sausage):


Plus B (Rick's Picks pickled green beans):
Equals C (instant appetizer):


You get an A plus! Happy New Year!

  1. Lisa, do you know if Rick's Picks are available outside of Brooklyn? Any other artisan pickle recommendations?

  2. Hello, Daniel.

    I think Ricks Picks are available nationwide through Whole Foods and specialty stores. You can also order them online through their Web site.

    I like Wheelhouse Pickles, also based in Brooklyn, apparently the artisanal pickle capital of the U.S.: http://wheelhousepickles.com/
