kombucha bucha

So, I currently have three batches of kombucha going. Two are the blend of regular green tea and decaf green that I've been using. One is a blend of black tea and roobois. I think I'm coming to the conclusion that green tea gives the brew a milder flavor, and I like that.

The two green tea brews were started earlier, but they still have a few days to go. I will check them again on Wednesday or Thursday. The black tea/roobois brew is still just getting started - it is only beginning to have a baby on top. So I will give it until the weekend.

With my next set of brews, I am going to try using one caffeinated teabag to four decaf, rather than the two to four ratio I've been doing. I really want to find out how much caffeine needs to be there for it to work! I am also going to try a blend of roobois and green instead of roobois and black.

I also have three surplus babies hanging out in case of mishap. But I really only need one. If you would like a baby of your very own, drop me a line.

I have not started any pickles while sick. Germy pickles would be kind of gross. I think I'm finally better enough to start a batch today as long as I wash my hands really carefully.

totalling it up

So, today I finally got around to cataloging and classifying my dreamsigns of the past few weeks. I'm really happy with my level of dream recall - at least one dream per night for a while, often two, even without my keeping paper by the bed (which I never seem to get around to setting up).
