Ready for more

I'm at Sandor Katz's fourth Melbourne session: Fermenting Grains,  Legumes,  and Tubers. I didn't go to the sessions about fending beverages and fermenting milk.

Here are the pickles he put up during the Fermenting Vegetables session yesterday:

Traffic light snax

Milk kefir,  villi (which is another kind of milk ferment), pineapple kombucha,  mint kombucha,  and pickled carrot and ginger.

Too much happiness

I am at the State Library Theatrette,  waiting for Sandor Katz to tell me all about Fermenting  Vegetables.

There is a sign on the door saying No Food Or Drink,  but the table at the front is loaded with quartered cabbages, cucumbers,  an enormous jar of chilli puree,  and great fronds of grape vine. It looks a lot like the Preston Market stall where the bored girl gives demoes of the gimmick vegetable shredder.

This is a strawberry

Creeeeeepy.

Little possums

 

You want to sell WHAT?

On the AMBA forum, we parents of twins, triplets & more sometimes give or sell gear to each other. Pregnancy, babies, kids... at the close of each phase we have a lot of stuff to get rid of, and it makes sense to pass on some of it to other families with multiples.

When I go to the forum, I see a list of conversations that have been added to since I last looked. For a couple of days, I keep seeing these two, one above the other:

And my helpful little brain conflates the two, and every single time I wonder why on earth anyone would possess a leather breastfeeding sports bra for a little girl?

I think my mind is doing the same trick it kept doing, way back last century when I worked in Kilsyth. I drove to work, and close to the office there was a garden supplies shop. They had a sign out the front that said:

CHEAP TRELLIS

But every time I drove past, my helpful little brain read that as:

CHEAP THRILLS

And every single time I laughed! A little snicker, all on my own as I commuted.

Still 42°C at 6pm

That's 107.6 °F, which sounds a lot more impressive I think.

I wonder how hot it was for these people in Georgia, June 1982. They are singing Morning Prayer.
