GT’s Organic Raw Kombucha: Fermented Fun

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

I’ve touched on the benefits of fermented foods when I covertly added sauerkraut to Bacon Gorgonzola Dip.

GT’s Kombucha combines my interests in nutrition and fermentation with my loves of tea and carbonation.

The flavors photographed above are Multi-Green and Citrus. Both are mildly sweet, very bubbly and fermented in a way that you can taste, even if you’re not so sure what fermented means.

I feel like all of those enzymes and probiotics give me energy. I feel great after I drink one. Though that could be wishful thinking after shelling out $3 for a beverage and pre-emptively justifying my purchase of another.

Historic Voter Turnout, Thanks in Part to Bake Sale

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Here is the line outside the elementary school where I vote. Wrapped around the block. At 6:30am.

The PTA was holding a bake sale inside the school. Young entrepreneurs determined that the best sales strategy was to carry trays of scones, cookies and brownies outside to the people in line.

“Get something to eat to help pass the time! Fifty cents each!” a redheaded 3rd grader hollered.

“Two for a dollar sound better,” her friend opined.

“Two for a dollar!” they both shouted as they continued down the sidewalk.

There were also small cups of coffee for $1 each. The girls yelled, “You know you didn’t have enough coffee before you left the house this morning!”

Smart kids, I thought, as I reached into my purse for a dollar bill.
