I heard someone say (in a movie?) once that "pickle relish" was one of the most fun, most wonderful, most satisfying things to say. And I find that largely true: it's very difficult to remain grumpy when you chirp out "pickle relish!" Plus, it's a whole-mouth word...everything gets busy and has a little job to do... It's totally nifty.

This weekend, however, I think I may have stumbled upon an even better phrase. It has the same innate joy and inherent fun as "pickle relish" but it gets bonus points for being both nifty and alliterative (for which, I admit, I have a huge weakness...) Ready?

Purple pickle.

Isn't that fun?? It just makes me happy to say it. Whee!
