a little of this, a little of that.
- love this, from Chewymom’s blog:
“…if we permit [animals] to be treated with any degree of cruelty simply because it lowers the price per pound, we are, ourselves, less human in the bargain.â€
It’s from a book called The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World, by John Robbins. Will be adding this to my list “to be read”.
- kids are away to camp. Looking forward lots of quality time with the littles and some concentrated work time.
- Anyone ever make their own Kvass? Our first batch tasted WONDERFUL but it also exploded like champagne and half of it ended up all over the kitchen and floor, almost putting David’s eye out at the same time. How do they package champagne and other fermented drinks in glass without them exploding? The recipes indicated the gas build up would stop after straining and chilling…this has not been the case with either the kvass nor the ginger ale, though the kvass was much more explosive than the ale! Still….it was cidery and rich and fabulous.

I attempted Kvass, ala Nourishing Traditions, but need to try again. So, in other words, I am no help!
It sounds like yours was successful, though, except for the explosion! Wish we were closer so I could taste some!
