DIY Food!

Lately the weather has really started to turn warmer and much less yucky/rainy, the raised bed garden is growing like gang busters and it's got me wondering what to do with all the veggies..
Well what else than pickling! Sweet pickling of course.
Actually Em bought me a bunch of stuff to practice on before recklessly experimenting on her hard-won harvest. So here is the first round. Baby bells in all colors,jalapenos,carrots,onions and garlic. I can't wait to eat em', a week or so and I will. If I don't get Botulism, then I'll send Mom,Dad and Sis some.
Oh Boy!!

And I've decided to really push my luck and make a small batch of sauerkraut. Don't worry though, I've done a bit of homework and taken the prudent precautions. I'm assured that it's pretty safe, after all, people have been doing this for ages right?

It's kinda' funny but the best foods(IMHO) are the ones that require some form of bacteria of mold to produce, such as cheese,bread,beer,wine,kim chee,sauerkraut, ect.. And the attraction for me is that I CAN DO THIS MYSELF.
