True, but I would expect our latitudes are better for hibernating over summer, unless they've got *exceptionally* strong and long-lasting sunscreen.

(Given #Edmonton's love of #garlic I'm not sure this is even a particularly desireable site for vampire nests, but as that is outside the scope of my studies I am not up on the latest vampire research. )

@LifeTimeCooking Home made fermented hot sauce is so tasty. I am glad you are pleased. The complex flavors are a concentrated kitchen treasure. We also dilute during cooking with this variety of concentrated ferment. It’s inspiring what the ingredients have become from the fermentation. You are on top of the world. #fermentation, #garlic, #ginger, #turmeric, #hotchilisauce, #solarpunk, #growyourown.

@Wraeth Home grown garlic is wonderful in the kitchen. It is good that you made it to early February with the 2024 harvest of German extra hardy garlic. It’s an excellent vintage and variety. Fermenting some of the harvest as garlic paste can extend your storage season all around the calendar. I speak for fermentation if possible. #fermentation, #garlic, #growyourown, #nodig, #minnesota, #zone4b, #rempah, #sambal, #kasundi.

@Lorrrraaaaine @Njord. I don’t know why the cookbooks remove the skins from the chickpeas. The skins are healthy in my understanding. We make raw hummus with sprouted chickpeas and fermented ingredients. Of course the skins are included. #hummus, #garlic, #fermentation.

@LifeTimeCooking We see a fermentation from the 2022 garden. This is garlic basil eggplant. The recipe is from the Kirsten Shockey book of Fermented Vegetables. The fermented eggplant acts like olives in hummus, etc. This has to last until August! #fermentation, #growyourown, #minnesota, #hummus, #gardening, #garlic, #eggplant.

@LifeTimeCooking. Yes. This is an easy fermentation to be so flavorful. We buy dried mushrooms. Therefore this recipe is practical year round. The fermented shiitake are tasty treasures. #fermentation, #shiitake, #mushrooms, #garlic.

@LifeTimeCooking. We use the two percent salt for all the ingredients that are not fermented. When we add fermented garlic to a new ferment we don’t add salt for the garlic weight. This allows you to be confident with substitutes and additions. #fermentation, #garlic.

@LifeTimeCooking. The garlic paste fermentation is yummy when you jar it. It’s alive and effervescent as you taste test by the teaspoon. Then the cold storage slows the fermentation down. The taste test a month later will be a wonderful, mellowed, complicated garlicness. However the effervescent is gone. #fermentation, #garlic.
