one more thing

[9ah]

i've been making kombucha and natto (well i only make natto once). me and my roommate decided to make a fermentation journal. it's just descriptions of each batch we've made, and things we think have gone wrong or right.

maybe some of you are interested in this.

making kombucha is easy and fun i totally recommend it.

I was convinced for a while that kombucha was mushroom tea, since thats what people call it, so I was convinced it was fermented mushrooms. I've tried it before, and it was ok but I had a hard time getting the image of slimy mushrooms out of my head while drinking it. But I read your journal, and googled a bit, and now that I know it's a scoba mother pad thing and not an actual mushroom, it seems much more appealing to me. Is making fermented food kind of like doing a science project?

What does natto taste like? I've seen it before but I always thought it was cheese or something.

it is called that sometimes, and i don't know why. it is a lot like doing a science project!

it's... really hard to explain the flavor. it's main feature is that it is really slimy. it made of soy beans. i really like it but i grew up eating it...

"a scoba mother pad thing"

What the hell is going on?

I don't understand anything.

actually a scoby "mother pad thing"

scoby is an acronym and stands for symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.
