Cooking with Crystal

What did I do this evening? I stopped at the store on my way home from work to grab a few things. I realized that I forgot to take a chicken breast out of the freezer, so grabbed some ground beef.

When I got home, I checked on my lacto fermented onions that I started 2 days ago - they need more time.

I started a jar of lacto fermented dill pickles (first time trying this). Then I started supper.

Tonight I decided to make Greek hamburgers, Greek salad, and Annie’s Mac & Cheese.

We have sliced the breast meat this way for several years now. We find it doesn’t seem as dry when sliced this way.

FASCINATING: “Cha" and "te" are both Chinese words for tea. If a territory came into contact with the drink by:

• The Silk Road = "cha"
• Sea shipping routes (starting with Dutch traders) = "tea"
