I eat fermented foods for my microbes (that's part of healing the gut from the inside out that I talk about). And guess what? For my Halloween gift this year, Tim got me me a KILLER fermentation book. This book is like taking a course. Love it.

What a pretty flower! I love that color.
As for fermented food making you happy, I dunno.

Christine said...

so happy for you Ivy!

This is what I've been working on, from the inside out healing. The route causes, all along. Only now, I'm gonna learn how to ferment from home.

Muhahahahahahaahaa.

There are a lot of foods that do a good job for your mood. The problem is most of them tend to be bad for you, like chocolate.

I'll add, this is only part of what I'm doing.

PS: Chicken legs in the oven now. Organic millet seeds on the cooker. Onions for our side. Smells heavenly.

How were your chicken legs last night?

Christine said...

my 6 chicken legs (thighs and backs included) got all eaten up. I used a mild bottled jerk sauce on mine. Today I baked honey garlic chicken (thighs only skin on) store bought sauce. I noticed my husband eating the skin! Very bad.

Christine said...

ahaha too true Mark.

The Happy Whisk said...

We call them marylands, though some call those quarters (legs and thigh together). Yes, eating the skin but all in due time. Eventually, you can if you want, cook them without. And if not, baby steps. He's got all new foods ahead of him during his diabetic journey.

You are a good wife to care for him the way that you do.

My chicken is done. Millet and onions as well. Now to clean up the mess and then hop in the shower.

Christine said...

You meal sounds delicious Ivy. Sometimes I will bake chicken the with the skins on thinking it's easier and there is more flavour, but...

The Happy Whisk said...

I hear ya' on the at one. I do the same thing.

PS: I am still sitting here. Must get up. Must finish ... must s..h..ow...errrrrr. But to be honest, I just wanna sit ....

What a sweet and pretty flower! Your photo is lovely. I eat yogurt, but I'm not a fan of pickles...
