I might be able to talk my husband out of his ticket. Would you be happy with one ticket? You could sit with my daughter and me. But first, let me ask my...
HI Cheryl and Mountain Lady Thanks for your very kind offers of tickets for the olive oil event. I have been out of town for a couple of days. Yes, I would...
Try Bubbies pickles. They are yummy and after you've had them, you won't want to go back to vinegared anything. You can get Bubbies at the Coop. Amy...
I prefer making lacto-fermented pickles to any store-bought pickles. Although I was never too crazy about vinegar pickles, as they are too acidic for me. LF...
Hi Cheryl and all, I'm relatively new to the list and usually don't have time to repy to posts. So here's my effort to start contributing;0)! I've been...
I made the mistake of not buying "pickling" cucumbers and mine came out pretty soggy. Still tasty, but lacking the crunch. But not too long ago, there was a...
I have added fresh horseradish root to my batches, because I had read that they keep pickles crisp. The cucumbers and okra pickles were/ are crisp, and I like...
Well, I separated the whey from my Straus Family Creamery, organic, plain yogurt yesterday, and today I will hopefully have time to start some lacto-fermented...
Sounds great, Cheryl! Like your intuition tells you, the pickles that I've made are crisper than vinegar pickles. The lactic acid that will be produced will...

Hi Cate, I just saw your post. Thanks for jumping in. Should I use small lemon cukes so they can fit in the jar or because they are sweeter or what? I might...
Good Job Cheryl! some answers to your questions: The lids may or may not seal- it doesn't matter, the salt and lactic acid will prevent any thing bad from...
Thanks so much for the encouragement, Cathy. I love eating organic, homegrown foods, but I do not always look forward to canning. So any progress I make in...
If you leave more headspace above the veggies and brine, overflow is less likely. Any cover is probably fine for a couple days. Metal lids are more of an...
Well, I could have a pickle party today, after picking! I have 9 cucumber plants and haven't picked for about 3 days, except for the ones I picked yesterday to...

Hi Amy, Cob is a natural method of building using a mixture of sand, clay, water and straw. The mixture is sculpted by hand to form walls, arches, shelves,...
Hi all, I think a Pickling Party is in Order. I'm thinking August 21 or 23 at my home in Fair Oaks. I haven't determined a time yet either, please let me...
