Back fro the farmers' market. Got some kale, some broccoli rabe, acorn squash, farmers' cheese, sourdough bread, and honey crisp apples. Also am trying...shoot, what's it called again? It's a fermented tea drink. "Tea champagne" they called it, but it had a Korean name that I can't remember. Anyway, I have some with ginger.

Oh, and I pet a turkey.

Kombucha. I looked at the bottle.

 

[limr11]

Got through a roll of color film in the Konstruktor. It was an oddball roll of ISO 400 of some brand or another that I picked up in Slovenia this past summer. Couldn't resist it for 2 euros.

Still have three shots left of Portra 400 in the Holga. Would have burned through that too but the light got a bit too flat. It was cloudy when we got there but got progressively greyer.

Next week I'm going back for a ton of stuff for the dehydrator. Potatoes, more apples and squash, and maybe some herbs. Not sure how well greens do in the dehydrator.

I was about to say Kombucha.

So where is my Solvenia wine?

She had ginger, tumeric, and red ginseng as well as the basic kombucha. I opted for a small bottle of the ginger but I have a feeling I'll be back for more. Tasty stuff.

Herbs do okay ... the leafy greens ... I dunno.

When I lived in Korea I mainly drank Soju ... made from potatoes. That what everyone else was drinking. Tons of that stuff.

I tried potatoes in the dehydrator ... meh ... I was thinking that they'd come sorta potato chippy ... maybe with some seasoning they would taste better.

Apples are great. Our apple tree has some new blossoms.

Ah yes, I asked the bf about it last night.
Out-of-state, his father can only sell to licensed sellers, and he hasn't sent any to California for a while, not since the apparent truce with the sort-of-is/sort-of-isn't competitor out there. So that Blue Danube site is your best bet for trying them on the West Coast.

Even here, he only sells to liquor stores or restaurants. The market is so saturated that he knew the only way to compete was to get his wines into restaurants, and he's done pretty well. He sells the odd case or two to people personally, but because of shipping regulations, he only sells it to people he can personally deliver it to or who will come to the house and pick it up themselves. He's essentially a one-man-show, so he even personally delivers wine to some of the restaurants he deals with.

I'm new to dehydrating. Our persimmons all seem to ripen at once. We've been giving a lot away and freezing the remaining. This year I'll try drying 'em out.
