Just bottled some kombucha that I started 11/5 with black tea. I think my system is working out pretty well - I bottle it a few days before it's done in airtight Grolsh bottles. Then it continues to do its thing and pressure builds up in the bottle. It goes from slightly too sweet to just right and the closed lid lets it get nice and bubbly. Only problem is when I wait too long to open them and the resulting pressure bomb explodes kombucha all over the apartment.
Checked on the raw milk that has been sitting on a shelf for two days in a lidded jar. I'm waiting for the whey to separate so I can use it to make beet kvas. Not much progress since yesterday. Maybe tomorrow it'll be ready, which will be weird because my mom is visiting and she going to think I'm crazy.
following the Weston A. Price Foundation's dietary guidelines
About Me
- Soultrain
- Portland, Oregon
- Soultrain is my nickname at work, where I am a sous chef. I'm also someone who is obsessed with the health consequences of diet. About a year ago I was introduced to the Weston A. Price Foundation by way of a coworker who was hosting a potluck/chapter meeting at work after hours. I like potlucks, so I went just for that. Even though I was sold on veganism as the healthiest way to eat (mostly because of what I read in "The China Study"), I latched on to the idea of nutrient-dense, traditional food as the best diet for overall health after reading about the WAPF and from other sources on the subject. Now I try to follow the dietary guidelines of the WAPF and I feel a lot better than when I tried to limit animal products in my diet. This blog follows my daily food preparations as I try to stick to the guidelines. I call it "What Would Sally Do," poking fun at the fervor with which people (including me) follow Sally Fallon, author of "Nourishing Traditions" and co-founder of the WAPF.
