Buddykins you should go to that BBQ place ("Intrinsic") on the square in historic old Garland, it's pretty good and they make their own good beer. At this time of year there's often music playing in the Towne Square and it's very romantic.

Be nice to the Garland residents, they're not used to city people.

I'm going to go to the fancy store tomorrow and see if I can find those pickling cucumbers, fresh ones, so I can make some habanero pickles with some of the peppers I've got in the back yard.

nice!

do a sincere post on how you prep all that. I'd like to learn

I'm no expert but the good news is you don't have to be one; vegetables ferment themselves. The only "tricky" thing is getting the salt concentration right, and that's not really tricky at all. You just figure out how much your to-be-pickled veg and seasonings and water weighs, then measure out salt to get the concentration you want. I won't give a specific number; it's between 2% and 5% but google around.

Korean groceries are great places to get vessels for fermenting stuff. At least, I'm envious of the crocks I see there, and my impression generally is that Koreans don't gently caress around with cooking equipment.

Home-made sauerkraut is really good and it's vastly cheaper than store-bought. A whole head of green cabbage costs less than $2 usually.

I don't do this all the time, but cooler weather makes me think about it more.

e: oh also depending on where you live you probably should use bottled water, because tap water supplies often have more chlorine by-products than you want for this purpose.

I didn't have to get farther than "I am in Puglia". The tomatoes they have access to are ridiculously good. Thankfully, good-quality Italian canned tomatoes make pretty decent sauce, and indeed that's probably the dominant approach Italians use for sauce (that involves tomatoes).

That said I really appreciate that you thought of me.

growing tomatoes is fun if it works, otherwise you just get some big stupid vines that don't give you the quantity or quality of maters that you desire. and that is no fun at all, i'll tell you that much

Yea tomato plants behave as if they're depressed to the point of being suicidal, in my experience, and you have to train with a master to know exactly how to prune them. Cherry tomatoes end up tasting the best and being the most useful.

I think it's a joint problem, not a muscle problem :smith:

A pinched nerve can do that. For example here's a nerve that runs out of your neck vertebrae on each side, headed down your arm. (Probably lots of them of course.) I pinched one bike riding (holding head up on a road bike) and it caused very nasty dull pain in my shoulder, and my left thumb and part of my left index finger got numb sometimes. Turns out nerves are literally like weird wires. This is all true based on my visit to the doctor, which ultimately did me no good other than learning that nerves are weird wires.

Lmao so the lord is the entity who protects ur pantry...sounds pagan to me

there was a lady in Rome in the 14th century and when Catherine of Siena died the lady was really sad so she skipped making lunch for her large adult sons and instead went to church to pray over Catherine's body, but she felt guilty still. HOWEVER, when she arrived home she found her sons eating from a large beautiful feast, and the lady knew that Catherine had miraculously made lunch in her stead.

(they had to whisk Catherine's head up to Siena to keep it safe because they figured the body would be torn apart by people seeking miraculous relics)
