FERMENTATION I've got some jalapenos lactose-fermenting on the counter. Two days in, no verdict yet on if they'll turn into pickles or not yet. Never done this before. They're bubbling, though. edit: tasted one. slightly sour. starting to smell 'right'. I think my sourdough starter has picked up some of the yeasts from my wife's homebrew. It smells startlingly like ale and apples. GARDEN The kale, are sad. The beets are stunted. The Turnips? Doing dandy. And the potatoes are thriving. THOUGHTS I'm finding the Stoic's conception of the divine pretty interesting. I don't believe it, but it is my first experience reading about a religion and feeling sorta wistful.
