I have an organically raised piggy in my freezer! I also went ahead and took all the stuff that dh wouldn't let me get rid of on week one, and it's leaving this weekend. While the comp. was in the shop, I had some testing done, and I'm allergic to a host of food additives plus some foods themselves so Hallejuiah! I can't spell that right!kwim!

I’m already brewing kombucha, I just started water kefir, and dairy kefir will be next because I found someone willing to share extra grains. I appreciate the info on lacto-fermented veggies. That always sounded so intimidating before, but I’m trying lacto-fermented ketchup now. I’ve never had much luck making yogurt, but I decided to try again and see how that goes. I’m not really a fan of the yogurt cheese, but I have made good mozzarella. I did sign up for the local CSA again this year. We’re fortunate to have a freezer full of grass-fed beef already.

The fermented beets and turnips that I made finally started to smell better lol. I have them the other day with some grass-fed German sausage that I got from my farmer; SO good! I also started the grapefruit marmalade from this web site. It seems to be coming along just fine, although it's pretty thin. I also made the yogurt cheese. That was easy and very good.

So, I wasn't able to get all the things done that I'd hoped. I did get cultures for kefir and yogurt, which I plan to start later this evening. I soaked and cooked a couple of kinds of beans. I also bought organic beets to start a batch of beet kvass. Blessings, Catherine :) It’s been a tough week here, lots of sick people in the family.

I baked my first loaf of sourdough, gluten free with rice and oat flour, and my 3 year old LOVES it! Yay! Our kefir keeps on keepin' on, and I have pulled out my kombucha scoby to recover from it's hibernation. The biggest thing that I am amazed at is how good I feel; I have been really focusing on eating nourishing fats, cultured dairy and no grains, and I feel like a new person. I have been struggling with post-partum depression since my second son was born (7 monhs ago), but nourishing myself has really made a huge difference in how I feel, physically and emotionally. I also must give credit to the fermented CLO I've started taking, but I really want to say thank you for the inspiration I neede to help myself feel better. Jamie This was a fun week for me.
