Oh forgot to say that dd made $59. Youngest was with us and the little stinker wanted to be paid for her time. She said she wrote down the orders and bagged, and she handled some transactions. I offered her $10, and she said $25. :hilarious: I told her $10 and a milkshake. She wasn't thrilled, but realized she had no choice.

Awesome!!! :)
Is craft fair DD helping out with youngest DDs tag sale?
If so, then she should settle for no less than $10 and a milkshake, as well...! ;):)

Naturally fermented or vinegar and salt?

I’m gonna’ go out on a limb and say all the ones I’ve had (including the homemade ones) were pickled with vinegar and salt, and not lactofermentation...! :D

And, some of this is probably why...! ;)

Why don’t more people do lactofermentation? I think for one, we’ve been so ingrained with the idea that bacteria is bad, we’re scared we’ll get sick from it. Secondly, vinegar pickling is more predictable and if your going to market a product, predictability is important. Also, unless you pasteurize or can the finished product, the lactofermented food needs to stored at a cool temperature, in a root cellar or refrigerator. You can process a lactofermented product but that sort of defeats the purpose. Third, lactofermentation takes time. There is not a lot of effort involved in getting a ferment started but you do need to wait. Some ferments take under a week where others like sauerkraut can takor tween 1-3 months. Flavors also improve with time when the ferment is moved to cold storage. Some won’t touch their sauerkraut until it is at least 6 months old.

Thanks to you and the googles, I probably now no more about lactofermenation than most...!!!!! :happy: :hilarious: ;) :)

I may, or may, not have been known to eat a whole jar of ‘em... :cautious:
Same with pickled beets! I’m not really a fan of beets (although, I will eat them in a pinch), but, pickle ‘em, and I’m all over ‘em...!!!!! :hungry:

They also go great with a Bloody Mary...!!!!!!! :joyfull::hungry:

So, we got a new phone for home, because the other one had some annoying features that drove us nuts. Today, we chose a different brand with some similar features, but better overall. Problem is, the new ringer sound is different from the previous phone, and Jack jumps up from his dog bed, completely freaked out when he hears the sound. He thinks we're being invaded by aliens!! :hilarious:
