What’s in the works this week
I’m continuing to make good progress in eliminating those expensive, processed things in the pantry and fridge in favor of those that I can make myself. I mean, who needs to spend $4 on a plastic squeeze bottle of organic ketchup that contains cane sugar? Give me a break.
Here’s what’s going on so far this week..
Coconut extract for baking, made from fresh, young coconut and triple-filtered vodka.
White and red wine vinegars,
Kimchi,
Sourdough starter,
Whey for use in fermenting stuff and the accompanying curds, destined to become paneer,
Nourishing bone stock from yesterday’s roast chicken,
Herbs drying,
Sauerkraut fermenting and
Rendered duck fat and ghee for cooking.

So excellent to see this. I’d really like to see what you have stored in your pantry/fridge. I am trying to buy much more Nourishing Traditions/Whole Foods and am making a list of my must haves for the pantry and throwing away the bad. What recommendations do you have?

That’s a great question, the answer to which probably deserves its own post. Hmm, you’ve given me an idea.
Meanwhile, it sounds like you’re off to a great start by making a list and throwing away the bad stuff!
