The only thing you have to worry about is making sure the veggies are submerged in the brine and that the brine is at least 2% salinity (so at least 2g salt for every 100g of water + veggie). Oh, and a way to let air escape while keeping bugs out (there are fancy water lock fermentation lids, but I just secure a dishcloth over the jar with an elastic). The jar should be clean, but doesn’t need to be sterilized. Let it sit somewhere that’s at least room temperature. Bubbles at around 24-48 hours mean it’s working! It’s safe to eat whenever, so let it sit for as long as you like and when it tastes good, put it in the fridge to slow the fermentation. I usually let mine sit for 1 to 2 weeks.<br/><br/>This should work with most veggies, since they’ll have lactic acid bacteria on their skins. I’ve never tried mushrooms, but I can’t see why they wouldn’t work. 2026-06-19T23:26:04+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdgvk6wrh3x7xrlnfyfgt9k5j24wkudrhsutxcpjgyttc67386enczyqwccv4q5t9fzl2z5rzp6mnyrkjdezytya6avqc4v7he5fuly8yvsemxw0j My dissertation (which I’ll be defending this year) is on Gilles Deleuze. I think Deleuze is substantially correct about many things. At least, if there is no God then something like Deleuze’s ontology is probably the case. But, after many years of reading Deleuze, I think most people don’t need to read him.<br/><br/>Only read Deleuze if you’re deeply interested in the question of how meaning/sense/value could exist in a Godless world *and* only if you have the patience for a *very* technical, philosophical answer to that question.<br/><br/>If you do want to get into Deleuze, start with Jon Roffe’s ~100 pages summary of *Difference and Repetition* in his book *The Works of Gilles Deleuze, Vol. 1*. It’s very thorough, readable, with clear and memorable examples, and gives an idea of the unity of Deleuze’s project.<br/><br/>#philosophy #deleuze #GillesDeleuze 2026-06-05T17:21:10+02:00
