Let's expand on the kimchi thread a little bit.
I'm getting more and more interested in fermenting my own foods. It started with the Cooked documentary by Michael Pollan we watched on Netflix. The very first thing I tried was sourdough but wasn't very successful. It was ok but very dense, and it was my first bread recipe ever. Next was my apple chunks that I mentioned in the kimchi thread, this is what I think hooked me. They were just a tiny bit sour but still sweet and crunchy like normal apples.
Which leads me to my current experiment: a tiny batch of wild fermented mead. Honey, water, cover, & wait. Hopefully after a few months of sitting on the counter I'll have my own hooch.
And this leads to some future plans. Carrot sticks and garlic which is a pretty easy recipe for beginners. And garlic & jalapeño green beans, I seriously can't wait for these but I want to have a bit better idea of what I'm doing so I don't mess it up. After these is most certainly some sauerkraut. And then, everything else in the produce section.
Anyone else experiment with some beneficial bugs?
