I’ve had my ginger bug on the counter for a month, maybe two. It stopped producing bubbles after a couple weeks, but it tastes fine so I kept it going in hopes it would bounce back. Well, it probably bounces now.
I pulled a very nice looking pellicle off of it today and… it’s tasty. Much softer and fruitier than the pellicle’s off my actual kombucha.
I’m pretty sure that this is cross contamination, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of definite ginger bug information out there. Does kombucha bacteria like ginger? Maybe. This pellicle grew in, maybe, two weeks. It really took off when I put an airlock on the bottle. Does Kombucha thrive in a low oxygen environment? Does Ginger Bug? The answer may shock you. But I don’t know it.
I was in the mood for some Stephen King vibes, but in the realm of, like, Misery, then The Mist was right there on Netflix’s main page so I tried that. Yah, no. Not what I was after, but I did get into it and binged it anyway.
Really unfortunate introduction to the story, but the characters have some great archs. You have your different layers of good and rotten characters, then by the end everyone ercept one person is a complete asshole. Normally I hate asshole media, but there was some quality misdirection happening. I don’t really care if they continue the clifhanger ending into another season, I had a good time with this as it was.
I’ve wanted this tattoo for a long time. I finally sat down to do it, but apparently I did something wrong and all the ink came out when I wiped the blood away. This wasn’t an issue with my sea horse tattoo so wuttupwitdatdo. Honestly I wouldn’t mind this temporary henna-hybrid approach if it didn’t scab over after. Meh.
