    Super easy pickled onion

    that is pretty easy but i like my naturally fermented onions and what could be easier than boiling up some spices, letting them cool then adding a 5% solution of salt/water to a big jar of onions and giving it 2 weeks to get funky by itself in a cool dark place! *drool*

    dont stress too much truman, i dont use a humidifier or anything, if it gets too dry i seal up the big tupperware container i keep them in a little more securely with glad wrap, or add some old cloth in trays of water etc.. frankly the fridge takes care of the dehumidifying. ;)

    A Beer Accompaniment

    haha the chiliheads trajectory starts with halepeno pizzas, then hot curries etc till the culmination in ruinous amounts of extract sauce with the resulting abdominal agony moving you to pure chili sauces using superhot chilis. extract is imo rarely too much fun unless someone else is eating it...

    i used to do it, but i kept experimenting with smaller amounts until it got unreliable and the heartache wasnt worth it for me anymore. a teaspoon was more than i ever used so would give you a strong starter i would guess with very little chance of failure.. but ymmv! :)
