This weeks project: Start a "flocculent mass"

I'm going to grow me a mother of a scoby. A certain mama on one of my forums has inspired me to try my mad skillz in the kitchen with bacterial experimentation. The best tutorial I have found is of course on youtube.
So here we go with Part I:

and part II

I'm planning on pickling with this Kombucha brew in a few weeks. In the meantime I'll make my flocculent mass. All this kitchen chemistry is so fun that next week I know I'll have my sourdough starter fermenting alongside the Kombucha brew :) Pictures in a few weeks to update those who actually care lol.

Molasses

That is how I would describe M Ward's voice. Sultry, smooth, smokey, sweet, thick, lovely lyrics roll out this man's throat like molasses. His guitar sings and his fingers nimbly run all over that instrument. Mara and I went to see him at the Crystal Ballroom last night and we went under his spell. He is incredible live. Here is the best I can offer up for now: M Ward.
