Home-made 'artisan' bread. Takes a good bit longer that the claimed five minutes a day, but man is it good!

Sampling the beets, radish and turnip, kimchi, and sauerkraut. Did *not* like the beets! Sauerkraut is my fav.

Lacto-fermenting cukes. First batch (right) was yummy, the second batch quickly went soft. What did I do wrong?

The dehydrator runs from 115 to 125 deg F, depending in part on how much you block the upper vent (outside temp 80 deg).

Improved, pointy feet on dehydrator. Now I can tip the thing so it is resting on one foot and easily rotate to a new position.

Tons of acorns. Interestingly, tannin wasn't the problem; texture was... Ick. Maybe there's another way to prepare them.
