Extracts

Depending on what you choose you can simply weigh it all out, can it cold, and place in the refrigerator for a few days then strain and you got yourself a nice bit of extract for sauces, marinating, baking, or whatever.

Sardines
Then pack them lightly in salt, reserve them in an airtight container, rinse, and make something fun. Take the heads and spines and make a stock with them then add a great tomato sauce and fold into rice. Pretty damn good, I grew up on that. Eric

Fermentation Projects: Rice Wine
I was at a store one day and I noticed those packages of dry yeast. I had no idea what to do with them and bought them anyway because they were cheap. When I got home I did a little research and now I’m in the rice wine making business, well nobody is buying and I’m not selling so I’ll just continue my private label activities. Eric

Fermentation Projects: Dough
Dough + Water + leaving the dough out for a week and feeding it some flour and a little water every once in a while = awesome dough. Make a pizza, make bread, or just stare at the bubbles in amazement. Eric

Fermentation Projects: Kimchi
You don’t need to ferment kimchi but when you do it tastes so much more amazing (shrimp paste FTW!) Want a deeper flavor? Cavitate the liquid. Eric

Smoked Gouda Potato Gratin
Saw these little containers from Le Creuset and they were $20 a pop…..found something like them at World Market for $4, just like that, gratin time! Eric
