#putting by for winter

[tinyshe]

Trying to get back in the saddle / back on track with the winter pantry. Finding great prices in bulk produce helps me start again.

Some fragrant back garden lemons with the most softest and smooth rinds *pop* in the dehydrator; they will be welcomed addition to tea this winter;

the least of the red fleshed apples, laying it in beside; they will be designated into snack mix for the trail or book bag;

that humongous bag of carrots got whittled down with the mandelon slicer aka ‘madame veggie guillotine’ and their bits and pieces laid low in the trays of the dehydrator -- so tempted to salt them down for carrot chips!

I have a recipe I want to try out for gingered carrots & cauliflower pickles:

Pickled Cauliflower & Carrots

Author Be Fed Again

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower cut into 1 inch florets (about 4 cups)

8 ounces fresh carrot chips about 2 cups

1 teaspoon pickling spice

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

2 cups apple cider vinegar

5 cloves garlic peeled and rough chopped

1/2 inch fresh ginger peeled and rough chopped

1/2 small yellow onion thinly sliced

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon flack peppercorns

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 cup water

Instructions

Fill a large soup pot at least half way with hot water. Please a steamer strainer or round baking rack on the bottom of the pot. You do not want the jars to touch the bottom surface of the pot. The water will need to cover the size of jars you are using by 2 inches when submerged. Heat water to a rolling hot simmer.

In a small saucepan, combine the bottom 10 ingredients, reserving the cauliflower and carrots for later. Bring brine to a boil and let boil for 1 full minute.

Pack the cauliflower and carrots into clean, hot pint jars. Set aside.

Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium sized bowl. Pour brine over strainer and into bowl. Discard the solids. Immediately ladle the hot brine over the vegetables, leaving a 1/2 inch headspace in the top of the jars. Remove any air bubbles by slowly raising and lowering a chopstick or wooden skewer. Wipe the jars' lids with a damp cloth before putting on the lids. Secure the lids until tight. Slowly lower the jars in the hot simmering water, and process for 10 minutes. Remove from the hot water bath, and rest on towels for at least an hour before moving. Store for at lease 2 days, but preferably 7 days before serving. Store in refrigerator after opening.

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.

Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.

and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

I wanted to draw the winter soldier for years but never dared to, I thought I’d definitely mess it up. Late to the party as always, but I finally dared to do it 😊

This one is based on a photo that Sebastian Stan took by chance prior to the Civil War film, having no idea what’s about to come :> I thought it’s wonderfully angsty 😌💅

get your own print here ❤️

Today when I got home, we did up nine bottles of the ginger cauli & carrot pickles.

Out of the drier came the lemons, apples and carrots; in went more apples and carrots.

Picked up some cream of soups (for quick casseroles), some sea salt on sale and soda (baking type).

you know how it is

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
