Dill Dip

Our garden plot came with dill volunteers. We tried to protect them as we rebuilt our bed, but only one survived.

That said, one dill plant is still a decent amount of dill. Maybe not for all our pickling dreams. But we're pulling it early because it was next to the tomatoes and we'd rather not have the tomatoes growth stunted. But there was no question what the first thing to make with it was.

Dill dip is a classic summer dish for John.  4th of July? Dill dip. Birthday potluck picnic in the park? Dill dip. It's the condiment for hanging out with friends, drinking iced beverage of choice, eating chips. (The recipe says it's great with raw veggies. Which is true. I still think it's better with chips.)

The recipe is in the binder of recipes from family and friends that his parents gave him around the time he graduated from college.
