1. Pickle making time! I made my first batch and they're really soft and mushy, my mom suggested it might be the city water, as she's canned for years without adding alum or calcium chloride and her pickles are nice and firm. Suggestions?
2. Anyone have experience growing bean sprouts? I know how to sprout them no problem, but the trick is getting nice thick ones. Now that I'm on the keto diet, I really miss pasta, and realize bean sprouts would make a good substitute. I found the konjac root in the pouch, but that stuff is expensive.
