Pickled Jalapeños
This pickled jalapeños recipe is easy to make at home with fresh jalapeños, garlic, and a tangy pickling brine for a refreshing garnish on any meal.

I work for a decarbonization startup that exists because of venture capital and these people are freaking tiresome.
Also OP's style of writing reminded me of the Captain from Airplane: "Do you ever watch movies about gladiators? Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

Don't worry, everyone. I checked in with the bunny and they told me they are actually in a loving, committed relationship with the large cat.
