GRAM HARRY’S MUSTARD PICKLES
108
Excerpt from This is the Place:
“Sometime around 1920 Gram Harriet sent Dr. Bouchet a bottle of chartreuse
mustard pickles bobbled with little pearls of pickling onions. He had helped her learn
“the rhythm method” even though they both knew her Mormon religion frowned upon
that. With the pickles was a carefully worded thank you note that could not be deciphered
too readily if it fell into the wrong hands:
She may have thought that with people like Dr. Bouchet around, life would be
easier for her girls. And easier for the granddaughters she surely would someday see on
the pages of her family’s genealogy records. She probably also knew that there is no
better gift in the world than a bottle of her home-made mustard pickles”
