[Magdalen] Summer extension.

[Grace Cangialosi]

Also, if there is a Mennonite grocery store near you, they probably have a huge variety of pickled foods—often under the Jake & Amos brand. They even make pickled Brussels sprouts, either dilled or sweet, which I thought sounded ridiculous, so I bought a jar of the sweet variety. They were so delicious that I ate the whole jar in one sitting!! For that reason, I don’t buy them very often!

Anyway, see if you can find a Mennonite Store for the pickled okra.
