After my nap I pared and peeled the potatoes. I added some oil while they were still warm.
I wanted to finish the salad, but My aching hands could not open the pickle jar. Normally I buy dill pickles by the gram. They place it in a plastic bag and I add salted water at home. They did not have those last Monday so I bought these. And not maybe I have to wait until tomorrow to cut them up and mix them with the potatoes.
I´ll try again under warm water. Sometimes that helps.
Do you have an idea to open the jar?

I was going to do that when II found a sort of lid opener that I did not even know it existed here. The pickles are diced

I discovered a sort of big can opener that I did not know I had. I opened it.

I take a bottle opener and release the pressure from the jar.

The bottle opener was for thinner lids. But I found a bigger one I had never used it that did it

I usually do that, but I was alone. But with the help of my friends here, I could open it.
