Woke up early for no reason so I made pan bread and a cheesy parsley soup for breakfast.

My wooden table holding a hand throwm fry bread and the bowl of my rice cooker filled with a deep green soup.

The consequenses of shaking the kombucha jar have left me interesting results. The brown yeast has settled to the bottom but the liquid moves on its own and is stirring itself? Lil bit freaky but is october so maybe its getting into the season?

A swirling brew has taken over my glass jar. Its not been moved since yesterday.

I will probably regret asking but how do they add heat after? I may not be able to handle it and survive but spicy peppers are kinda their own signature spice.

I love them regardless but having a nametag is nice. I got them as my pet rock 5 years ago but they are just starting to clump.

A peek at the background plants in my growroom. I'm a prefectionist at heart but I'm glad its starting to look nice in a picture. The grapefruit tree is still throwing a tantrum so im leaving it out. Maybe a different post... #GrowRoomGoals #PlantParenthood #IndoorGardening #UrbanJungle #PlantLife

My background plant collection in the growroom. Theres philodendrons and orchids that are under pink tinted lights. I had planned for purple or blue growlights but the plants dont care.

Day 6 and I fell to temptation. I shook the jar. And then added wildflower honey. Still no mold but the bloom changed color. Its a rich brown now. Hopefully I get kombucha not mead. #KombuchaJourney #Fermentation #HoneyTeaMagic #BrewedAwakening #HomeBrew #DumbIdeas #TeaTime #KombuchaExperiment

My now brown (hopefully still a scoby) peek into my jar. I was hoping that adding honey would give me more of that honey smell that I got addicted to these last few days but its changed to an apple smell with notes of honey fragrance. Its still nice. The liquid is a but more carbonated now too. Not quite a lavalamp since the bubbles are smaller but its satisfying to watch the fizz.

Day 5 at 11:59pm( just barely made it) Feeding day for this jar. I tilted it to the side and poured the new mix of room temp tea,honey,and raw sugar so i wouldnt break the thin layer. . . then tripped. (⋟﹏⋞) (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) ┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻ luckily new bubbles formed quickly.

My refreshed tea with newly formed bubbles. Its getting colder so the process to pellicle is taking a lot longer.

Now listen here cacti. Everyone ELSE is shedding leaves and going dormant but THIS cacti must be part cat. Its growing. Now Ive got to figure out how to keep it above 65 degrees while everyone else is fine with the cold. #PrettyFlyForaCacti #PlantParent #IndoorGardening #HouseplantHustle #Cacti

A stubborn pet cacti refusing dormancy in a black planter. Why is the planter black because it matches the color of it soul. There is also a rusticly drawn stick figure woman screaming out why. As if to ask why this plant that has gone dormant for 3 years has suddenly decided to figuratively sit on my imaginary keyboard to keep me working the rest of the winter to pay for the increase in propane that its about to cause with a smile. It better be glad its adorable.

Day 4 of Kombucha making. (skipped a day) The bubbles are a little less but the skin forming reminds me of really wrinkled skin around the eyes. The smell is very honey and hawiian bread-y. I am resisting the urge to shake the jar. #Funday #notmold #Kombuchajourney #Homebrewed

Day 4 of scoby making for kombucha. A peek into my glass jar. The bubbles are connecting and the whitish layer has climed about an inch up the sides of the glass. Theres also a lot of condensate but still no mold! Whoo

My library no longer differentiates languages for the book reccomendation section. It's a bit disquieting to figure what we were reading but its always a good read. If i can pronounce the title ( or a but of the discription without translation apps) I get the book in my language. Its super fun!

The description of our mystery book. My guess of it being dutch seems correct.

I found it! Eel may have a space in my fridge now. Couldnt get a whole one for cooking but I found it salted and smoked with the spine removed for roughly $29 a lb. A little goes a long way and it tastes like a honey glazed salmon to me. This may be a new favorite if I can learn to clean it.

Day 2 of watching tea grow. Way bubblier and opening the lif floods the house with a strong honey scent. Moving the jar doesnt pop the bubbles. #KombuchaJourney #Fermentation #BubblyBrew #HealthyFizz #HomeBrewed #NotMold

Choose a path and go with only it. Uber-Discipline and ugly jobs make a change. Also strategizing is not the same as doing nothing. I was getting $150 a month after transportation costs. I bought NOTHING I wanted til I found chances that fit me. Now Im at 50k with 86k lined up. You can do this!

With everyone (my trees) all snuggled in I can work on trying to make kombucha from scratch (with no scoby) I put about a cup of sugar into a half gallon of super strong tea with some acv ferment strands yesterday. So far so good.

A peek into my glass gallon container showing a bubbly looking black tea. Hopefully bioactive enough to make Kombucha

Last of the bonsai moved. Dug up this one and I'm done for the season! A massive yamadori grapefruit. ( perk of the lower eastcoast "mountains") It wouldve been wiser to have help. But A womans gotta do what a womans gotta do. #Bonsai #Yamadori #GrapefruitTree #IndoorPlants #PlantAddict #PlantLife

A freshly dug grapefruit tree in random soil and a cut bpack plastic planter so I can see the nebari. It is as tall and nearly as wide as a tire and has one in the background. This tree is also throwing off all its leaves out of stress but thats perfectly normal for citrus in response to being collected. With a little bottom heat, humidity, and a lot of aftercare it should spend the season growing roots and be spritely next spring.

After the heat its finally collection season!! I lost most of my bonsai and its greenhouse to a hurricane. I quickly planted what was left to increase survival. I've harvested 2 to test the waters. They'll be overwintering in my makeshift growroom. #bonsai #yamadori #repot #tree #houseplants

A freshly potted grapefruit bonsai with a trunk nearly as big as a tire. This big boy is still pissed and throwing off its leaves but its still green. Ive run out of media so its living on the edge with a blend of garden soil and old seed starter mix.

part to of the mockshroom Geastrum michelianum. The flavors are good so now its time to try getting a good "sprout". Im attempting it by wrapping a bread dough with a cookie dough and then baking it.

prepped dough by covering the lighter dough with the darker dough.

puffing dough orbs. they smell chocolaty and nutty
