Magnetic allure.
My dear wife Karen appropriated the card of the smiling, baseball-holding pickle to the Bialczak refrigerator door hall of fame.
Quite the Syracuse honor for the Dill from Toledo via Ann Arbor.
Beth of I Didn’t Have My Glasses On sent over a glittering package of congratulations after our bonafide big baseball bloggers wager based on the eight-game series between the Syracuse Chiefs and Toledo Mud Hens.
The signed card of the mascot from Tony Packo’s restaurant landmark, visited on the night she went to Toledo to watch the Mud Hens and the Chiefs, is much appreciated here in Syracuse.
He joins the jar of Claussen kosher dill spears on the top shelf inside.
Thank you, Beth.
What do you have on your refrigerator door?

I have a Jack Daniels magnet and one from my friend in Wyoming which says: ‘Please send more tourists to Wyoming, the last ones were delicious!’ 🙂

I like both of those refrigerator decorations, Heather. Both seem tasty in their own way. Haha.

Great postcards and glad you got the package you ‘richly’ deserved! I would have liked to drive up to Toledo which would have been only an hour and a half drive, but I believe it was not a convenient time… I am so glad Beth knows how to hold up her end of the wager. Now, someday, you may lose (a bet with Beth) and we will read her special package’s contents! Smiles, Robin

I cleaned out my garage this weekend and bought a pickle bucket to hold the long-handled garden tools. Now the garage smells like pickles! LOL! (And, yes, I washed it out first.) My ‘fridge has tons of photos of my son and a few classic TV magnets. I sure like your pickle card, though. 🙂

Every icebox (That’s what we call them here) should have something odd and peculiar magnetically attached to it… and that pickle certainly livens up the place.

Pizza place magnets come in handy. They give way to pizza dinners at the placement of a phone call, Jeanette!

I don’t remember, right now, what I have on my refrigerator door, Mark. I believe it’s nothing (although I have had various magnets, photos, son’s artwork, etc. in the past). Hold on, I’ll check.
I’m correct — there’s nothing there. I now remember that the doors of my current refrigerator are not magnet-friendly.
Since I’ve answered your question (and followed your order/suggestion), here’s what I especially wanted to tell you: (1) I love the title of this post and (2) you appear in my blog post today.

I just got back from seeing the movie ‘Blended’ for my SNT movie review this week, Ann, and will get right to your blog now. I was “blending’ work with the holiday weekend and my own blogging pleasure … And I love tne new Sandler-Barrymore union, let’s just say that …
I appreciate a non-magnet-friendly approach to refrigeration! Sounds very high-tech to me.
Thank you for the praise of my headline.

It is the mascot of a great eatery in Toledo, across from the Mud Hens’ ballpark, and sent to me after I won a wager with a blogger on Syracuse vs. Toledo minor league baseball series. So, one important pickle, Paul.
