Pickled Carrots and Radishes

Jump to Recipe

Like some relationships, there is nothing you can actively do to really fuck up vinegar-pickled carrot and daikon radishes. You set it up, but you just let it happen naturally. If it works, it works.

If it doesn't, throw it out and start over.

I make these and put them on just about everything. They are perfect for bibimbap, or even just a bowl of steamed brown rice/quinoa. I also eat them straight out of the jar with chopsticks. You know, like a salad.

What just happened?

And how did it happen so fast?

How did we
How did I let it
Get this far?
Get to this point?
Get beyond repair?

Was it me?
Was it you?

What did I do wrong? What should I have done right? Why didn't I do this or that or something else differently?

Why didn't I see it coming? When did it all turn?

Was I expecting too much? Did I not meet your expectation?

Did we not try hard enough? Can we try harder?

What if I had tried harder?
What if I hadn't said that?
What if I hadn't done that?

What if?

These questions. There are no answers. They are all wrong and they are all right and

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't fucking matter anymore.

And yet it matters so much more than anything ever did or ever will again.
