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!

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.
