For those of you living vicariously in Florida, I thought I'd post pictures of some of my food preservation (mis)adventures. The other day I spent a busy afternoon processing tomatoes, hanging basil to dry (we're full up on pesto), and roasting chili peppers bound for the freezer.

Apparently, my grill runs a little on the hot side?
ETA: In a separate incident, I decided to ferment the last few cucumbers of the season using the recipe from Wild Fermentation. I was particularly excited to get to use some of the leaves from my very own grapevine! N is entirely disgusted by everything I ferment, but I am finding that much like hand-picking insects, skimming the mold off the top gets less icky every time.
