If you’ve wonder where you should travel on your next holiday, maybe it should involve a forest. There is actually research that suggests a trip to the forest can reduce your stress levels (no big surprise) but also build your immunity. In Japan there is a tradition of Shinrinyoku — a leisurely visit to the forest. A visit of a few days, taking in the sweet smells of the trees, the fresh air, and sunshine actually may improve your health. Most of us who experience “the forest” regularly would probably not be surprised but I was amazed that there is actual research evidence. And so we position ourselves for our adventures on “The Lost Road” here in the Sequoia National Forest, getting physically fit and apparently building our immunity at the same time.
We haven’t ventured out on our coming-of-age walk with Alastair. It should be some time in the next week. We are busy planning a “Tooth Fairy Trap,” another story entirely.

Cabbage is a strikingly healthy vegetable, loaded with antioxidants and sauerkraut takes it to a new level, making the cabbage even more digestible and adding beneficial probiotic bacteria as well. We are starting cabbage in our sauerkraut crock now and hope to ferment a large variety of cabbage types this winter to take advantage of the diversity of nutrition in each type of cabbage.

It is a great science project for middle schoolers: place a raw egg in vinegar for a couple of days and the vinegar will eat up the mineral shell and leave you with a squishy raw egg protected only by the egg’s membrane.
On a lark, we used all of the vinegars in our household and a cheap red wine as a “control.” What was amazing is that one of our vinegars wasn’t actually vinegar. Check out the video:

Pictures do not capture the exquisite flavor of this bison broth and roasted eggplant soup using a bison sauce made from a small bit of bison fat. The broth may have been the best I have ever had, combining the richness of marrow bones and the not-too-strong flavor of bison. My regret is that I didn’t have a large party of friends to taste it, just to have witnesses. However, that did leave more soup for me. We are working on posting the recipe on the bison brothpage.
In the meantime, if you need a great meal, I would try to find some bison marrow bones. (These bones can be mail-ordered from here.) Heck, if you are a prisoner on death row and are choosing your last meal and have managed to find our brothel kitchen for advice, I would put this soup on the short list.
