Allora.
Ho fatto trippa e fagioli veg.
Che da onnivora mi faceva cagare, oggi invece avevo il piccio.
[A onor del vero ho messo un po' di burro nel soffritto per maggior lezzume, ma è perfettamente opinabile.]

Beetroot day in this #YearOfFermenting went well but not as well as expected. Work (the paid stuff) consumed a lot of my day.
There is a large jar of kvass made and ready to ferment. I am hoping for at least 1.5l from it, once strained of beetroot. 
I used all the beetroot for kvass so didn't make the beet and cabbage salad that ferments.
But I picked a couple of cute small beetroot for cooking tomorrow. They are sitting in the sink waiting to be washed.
#OnTheFermentTable - the purslane is done! I'll be having some with dinner tonight.
The rhubarb is slowly fermenting.
The vinegar is not really #fermenting yet but is looking good so far (Only made it yesterday).
And #FromTheDehydrator - the grapes are still dehydrating - it takes a while. Perhaps another day.
But the chillies are done and are sitting conditioning before I lock them away.
I went down a rabbit-hole on the benefits of inulin as part of putting together a recipe for an inulin-rich meal. The recipe produces a terrific dish.

.... and that is the end of Grape Day #1.
3L jar of vinegar in the making. 4 large trays of grapes dehydrating in the Excalibur.
The grapes are large and juicy and will take some time
Each one had to be picked from the stem and pierced with a knife. About 1,000 grapes, give or take a couple of hundred.
The fifth tray holds all the , aaaaaalmost done.
More grapes to pick, but not until these are dried.
There are more things to dehydrate but they are all on hold until these grapes are done.
Tired. Just the cleaning up to do before I shut down for the day. 
An interesting new law in Utah, they are going to require that all foods that looks or tastes like meat but are not meat have a special label, and they are imposing a tax on restaurants that sell such foods to fund enforcement of the label. Seems bad. https://le.utah.gov/~2025/bills/static/HB0138.html

Good. The chillies are in the dehydrator. 14 dozen (168 chillies).
They are small Thai chillies so they don't look that many - just 1 dehydrator tray.
I *nearly* made a fermented chilli mash, but the #KirstenShockey ones are a bit faffy - the hot chilli sauce I made the other day is simple and awesome and without messing around.
No seeding or peeling chillies for me, altho next time I make the sauce I will roast some. (These chillies are two small to remove the seeds anyway, and last time I just blended everything up in the Vitamix. We're not scared of a few seeds*).
* I read the other day that it is not the seeds that hold the most heat, but the white membrane parts of the chilli. I am not testing this.

The quinces are looking good, still some growing to do, another few weeks, waiting till I can smell them or the first one drops off the tree.
Picked another 4 doz chillies - maybe a total of 10 or 12 doz in the last few days. Deciding whether to dry them or ferment them..... or a chilli sauce/jam/paste. They are small so don't take up much space, and I have a huge bag of them in the freezer already. Thinking....
Picked half the grapes. Maybe vinegar?

I'm reading an informative book on the gut microbiome. I had not realized how much has been learned about the microbiome, what it does, and how it works.
In this post, I quote a passage from the book, which I highly recommend:

Later On · Informative book on the gut microbiome: Gut CheckI’m now reading Gut Check: Unleash the Power of Your Microbiome to Reverse Disease and Transform Your Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health, by Steven R. Gundry, MD. The book makes clear how…
Apricots are another fruit with both sweet and savoury uses. They are best home-grown - shop-bought ones have terrible flavour and texture. Home grown are out of this world.
With their fresh fruity flavour they add a lightness and great colour contrast to salads and fruit salads. They bake and poach well and pair surprisingly well with vegetables like okra.
Dried apricots also have numerous applications in the kitchen, either pureed or soaked and cooked.
We keep store-bought apricots for cooked dishes. When we have the delight of a gift of home-grown apricots, they are eaten as-is and in salads.
