Depressed, as usual...

As planned, Galina left for Houston a little after noon, and should be there tomorrow night.

As is my wont, I've dirtied an unconscionable number of dishes in the kitchen, eaten probably a bit too much, and am working on my third beer. It's my way of coping, I guess.

Part of the mess in the kitchen has to do with "harvesting" the first and creating a new batch of kombucha. The first batch had been brewing since late last Thursday, which makes it five days, and had developed a nice new "child" scoby and a pleasantly fizzy product.

The kefir has been doing well, too, although I'll need to probably cut down on the amount I make, as I only drink about 6 oz. of the stuff per day, while I've probably already got a week's supply in a jar in the fridge and another quart or so brewing.

The work plate is now full until Monday, which is good news. Tonight, however, I'm just going to goof off and watch television.

Cheers...

Kefir makes a fabulous base for Russian-style pancakes (the thin ones). :)

much ado about kefir. when we lived in the country and had cows, we just left some milk in a warm place overnight to sour. though we called it "kyslyak", it was very much alike kefir. but you need a whole milk to make it.
