I love fermenting kim chi. I love gathering the vegetables, sharpening the knife to slice them and the mindfulness of massaging the mix until the liquids release. I love singing along with @formidableveg as I stuff the veggies into a jar. I love eating the kimchi at the end, but most of all I love it when the fermentation kicks off and spicy juice starts bubbling over. This is this moment when the magic and wildness is known, the yes moment of life being and culture doing. It is akin to seeing that yes your seeds have sprouted or learning that a loved one is becoming a parent. I love this moment as it reminds me that I’m in this life together with tiny microbes and in solidarity with generations of other fermenters around the world.

I’ve been contributing to the #permaculturewomen online permaculture design course for about six months now. It’s been a long process of sketching module ideas, drafting texts, filming and editing, followed by error checking, image sourcing, proofreading and quality control content updates. My video making learning curve has been steep and the tripods repurposed from found objects.
I love that we have been doing it with others #diwo with broader support from our local communities. This PDC is excellent but imperfect, a beautiful whole of diverse parts. Most importantly we are finally launched and live!

@themathscaptain made the my favourite moontime meal again which is Wachau Blunzn (blood sausage) fried with potatoes and Creme fraiche. It’s moments like this which make me wonder why we’ll relocate to Australia. #moontimemeals #fullmoon #producenowaste #mouthorgasm via Instagram https://ift.tt/2J7X3sZ

After much pondering and a bit of support and encouragement from my mum I made a once in a lifetime investment in a grain mill with combined flaker for porridge and muesli. This thing is a heavy beast but rather beautifully made. I am expecting a steep learning curve as I get deeper into baking and generally grinding and squashing seeds, beans and stuff. via Instagram https://ift.tt/2uDZ6SC

I had a hankering for chocolate for breakfast. rather than be lured by chocolate alone or some weird nougat spread I grated organic dark chocolate over my buttered, home made, no knead rye bread. As you can see this was successful. #almostdutch #breakfastofrunnersup #organicchocolate #microplanegrater via Instagram http://ift.tt/2DBUbkc

The snow came back today but yesterday some lovely friends and I went gathering the first bärlauch of the season. Tonight I’m making bärlauch semmelknödel (wild garlic bread dumplings) with this harvest! My harvest /produce bag was remade out of a weird thrifted net tshirt with recycled cord from a giftbag.

I suffer from huge waves of self doubt and depression which result in total lethargy and inertia. I blame my hormones, living in an apartment, streaming tv services, the patriarchy and capitalism too. I know that doing yoga, eating breakfast, saying affirmations and going outside to talk to people and being in nature helps, but you know INERTIA MAKES ALL THE THINGS HARDER and the self doubt helps me tell myself that those things suck or are lame or won’t work out anyway. Which is f&£%*d. Still I am proud to say that these yoga mats and bolsters were put into use today and I yelled and fell over and cried about how sad I feel but hey at least I did yoga imperfectly and appreciated the ritual of putting mats and bolsters away. Also I did laundry and changed the sheets but still have all the work. #dayoneofyogaagain #newmoon via Instagram http://ift.tt/2HGXwRz

I’m not sure if Seagull the Cat got the memo about doing computer dismantling in a clean environment. I managed to get the battery out and tighten the blasted wireless card and rescrew it back together without him noticing the bowls of tiny screws. Bonus, my laptop properly starts again now!

Normally there’s one failed crepe at the beginning of the batch, but I lost about three more before I realised that I needed to add another egg to the mix. The irony is that I’m using “waste” sourdough starter for things like crepes now so even though I saved the starter from a useless end, a version of it still ended up going in the compost bin. #latelunch #sourdoughcrepes #springsunshine #producenowaste #sourdough via Instagram http://ift.tt/2pdziqX

I’ve got many cat in box pictures but this is the first of Seagull the Cat (half) in a bucket. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2p8UTAf
