1. Made pickles with the pages and the terrors yesterday. We'll see how they turn out--garlic, carrot, and chiogga beets in vinegar/salt. It was fun, and fascinating.

2. Found after lunch while wandering with foodie X: Quail eggs, to feed gamers, and sliced pork belly, to make into bacon. How long do you boil a quail egg? 5 minutes, wow!

3. Need period pickling. Time to get out the crock and work on the cabbage, which is getting sunburnt in the garden.

4. Got italian squash, gherkin pickle seeds, and a new raised bed. Hmmm.

5. Need to get armor together!

To my experience it is never necessary to boil any egg more than 1 minute. Then you leave the egg(s) in the hot water to cool naturally for about 15 minutes. The eggs will be perfectly cooked and never get dark or unpleasant like those that have been cooked too long do.

Just saw this -- it's at the Exploratorium. Watch the video!

... how long do we leave the pickles before they are food?... or am I just forced to taste them everyday until they are gone, er, I mean pickly?
;p

They are food now.

They will slowly get softer as time goes on, and a little saltier; the garlic should wait about a week to mellow out, but the beets and carrots and asparagus are fine now. If you want to make a vietnamese sandwitch, use the carrots and a little of the garlic, and some cilantro, with butter on a french roll and some lunchmeat.

I started making bacon today...that should be fun. Mmmm. Bacon.
