I haven't been doing any habitat work. I've been busy making stuff in the kitchen while winter rolls on. I did get to the cabin over the weekend and things looked really good. Snow isn't bad at all right now. There's a storm coming tomorrow night though. Quite a bit of puff over it. We'll see what happens.
So far this winter, I've restarted efforts at making organic, whole wheat, ancient heirloom einkorn bread from scratch. I made 3 batches of soap, seeking that perfect single bar for every purpose. And I recently discovered fermenting vegetables.
After reading up on it and the benefits of countertop salt fermentation, I'm sold on it. A buddy showed it to me and had me try his. Oh boy, talk about jump starting your guts in a good way. Those veggies are loaded with natural probiotics and prebiotics that can make it all the way into your digestive tract to get things humming like before the advent of processed and nutrient devoid foods. It is so cheap an easy, it's a $100/hr job you can do at home vs buying this stuff and the snooty falooty store.
