That’s my Fire Cider shot glass. Awesome, yes?
So, about that beet kvass… I’m actually enjoying this in small doses.
It’s pretty salty, though. I’m hoping that after it continues to ferment a bit in the fridge it will mellow out a bit. Next time I’m going to try sea salt.

For our first meeting we are cooking rice dishes. I decided to make Persian Style Lamb, Butternut Squash and Brown Basmati Rice Pilaf because it has a Middle Easter Profile that I… Read more →
When I did my short stint in culinary school, I learned how to make chicken stock. You roast the bones and you simmer for-EV-ah and you can’t let it boil. Then strain and strain and strain… I have made it that way at home for ages.. and for a long time I didn’t even make stock because I had nowhere… Read more →
One of my new favorite magazines is Experience Life, which I found because of Jen Sinkler who I follow on Twitter. In a recent issue, I forget which, there was a mention of a website called Reuse-it.
