Kitchen Duty

It was time to start another batch of Kombucha...so for my second fermentation... I decided since I have lots of apples in the house I would do an Apple Cider...

 I chopped an apple and put pieces in each of the bottles.

 Added about 1/4 tsp of cloves and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon ...plus a tsp of honey..

Filled the bottles with Kombucha...gave them a shake...

They will sit for a few days.... and hopefully carbonate!

Meanwhile...

I had a ham bone boiling in 2 quarts of water seasoned with Italian seasoning...
I fried chopped onion and 3 garlic cloves, added this

to the broth with a pound of soaked navy beans, celery, carrots and potato...seasoned with salt and pepper.

Lunch was served....

It was suppose to be the day I worked on my Christmas sewing...funny how a day can change!

Bike Ride

The clouds are low today...but look at that blue sky!
