pickles

"We're tired of just reading your posts about books and dreams, LadyA!  Post about pickles!"

Well, okay, if my loyal fans insist.  :)

So, I concluded two more live pickle batches yesterday.  One batch is ginger cardamon beets.  I roasted them first and they were delicious.  The second batch is curried green tomatoes.  Having tried them both before and after I added the curry, I think that next time I would just make them with dill.

Both pickle presses are now open.  I believe my next batches will be sauerkraut (<lj user="dakotakym"> gave me her recipe) and another set of watermelon rind pickles.  Nom nom nom...   there are also some surplus bell peppers in the house which I think could be delicious pickled.

Also also, today is a day with no kombucha.  I haven't run out!  Far from it.  Just taking the day off from drinking it.  (Can you imagine the horror if I had it too often and got allergic?  Noooo!)  I will enjoy some more tomorrow.

Your loyal fans insist.

I'm now reading Wild Fermentation, thank you for the recommendation. I'm on my third batch of kombucha, and I think I've got the hang of it now. And your beets and green tomatoes sound awesome.

Oh, thank you. :) At this point I would be totally comfortable leading a pickle experiment at your house, as long as no canning was involved. Or, if someone else handled the canning part, that would be fine too.
