    You don't need any fancy sauerkraut weights.
    Just take a zip lock bag (or something similar), fill it with small stones and water or just water, knot it closed, disinfect the outside and use that as a weight.
    That's what my mother and grandmother did and what I also do when I need a fermentation weight.

    The imitation vanilla being made from beaver glands is true. Ish. So it used to be how they made it but it became illegal because it was seen as animal abuse. Now it’s just made with different chemicals. That’s cool how you make yours though. I may need to try this!

    The homemade vanilla extract can be ready in 3 or 4 months, but it definitely gets better the longer it infuses. You know it’s ready to start using once it no longer smells like vodka and smells like vanilla extract. At least that’s been my experience, I hope you find this helpful.

    I started attempting to make sourdough last week. It was a fail, so I made focaccia instead and one loaf with yeast and sourdough. Not giving up though, I am determined to learn!! 😅

    It is so empowering to make food for your family when you thought you couldn’t learn ❤
