Understanding the health impacts of the climate crisis
and imagining a positive future

"Climate change is the greatest threat to human health now."

"Climate change is already causing significant shifts in weather patterns and an increase in extreme weather events around the world, including droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, storms and floods."

"The major cause of pollution is the burning of fossil fuels, further motivating action on reducing GHG; adverse weather events, such as heatwaves, can acutely amplify pollution impacts."

What is next on the #fermenting agenda, I hear you ask? Now that the Vinegar-in-the-making is doing its thing very nicely, I thought I might try a new one.

Okra.

Yes, rinse, dry and trim okra without cutting into the interior, jam them into a jar as tight as you can, jam in some garlic and chillies (or your preferred flavours), add 3% (by weight of water) brine - about 8g salt to 250ml, but always check. Depending on your weather and preferred tastes, leave from 1 week to several. I read of one person who left it for 4 months. Not sure I am THAT game.

Burp every day or two if using an ordinary lid.

The recipe in #SandorKatz's #TheArtofFermentation has it fermenting for "several days". I quite like fresh ferments as it turns out, so it is likely to be under a week for me. Depending - the weather is quite chilly for a week, starting tomorrow.

Success does depend on one other factor. I wanted to try a ferment with our tap water again. The first one was excellent - chillies for a chilli sauce. To prove that wasn't a fluke I am using tap water again. We shall see.

Sometimes I forget that I have to use filtered water.

It felt like I was spending too much #money on #food lately. I mean, yeah, #inflation and all. But it still seemed like too much. So I did some Internet spelunking.

And?

Well, there's not a lot of good information out there and the USDA data is not only difficult to pin down costs on, it's out of date by four years. I did find this from Instacart (of all sources):

And?

My grocery costs are low-to-moderate for a single male.

It still seems like too much.
