Pink Kombucha!

Look at this and tell me you wouldn't at least want to try a sip.

This is one of my fizziest creations yet. I've come to accept that kombucha, being a living organism, will sometimes perform better than others and there's not much I can do about it. This particular batch was made with green tea with a few hibiscus blossoms tossed in. It didn't take more than five blossoms to dye the entire batch this gorgeous color, and the flavor wasn't changed much. But it's much prettier this way.

Dinner was pesto (Genovese basil is amazing at the farmers' markets right now!) with tomatoes, rotini, and extra toasted pine nuts. We had side dishes of buffalo mozarella and smoked salmon while enjoying the season premier of The Simpsons and The Family Guy. Good times.

I'm so insanely jealous right now that I want to cry. I'm living in Spain right now, where I'll be for the next four months, and it's like the land that forgot vegetables!
Seeing your green pesto and colorful tomatoes makes me realize just how brown the food is here. Pork and bread...that's about it.

Well, way to make me jealous. I just had Monte Enebron cheese for the first time, and if you're in Spain maybe that's what you can live on for the next four months! Not to mention the beautiful environment and exquisite leather goods!

LOL...they do have great cheese, and ham, and, indeed, leather. I'll keep you posted.

Mine didn't come out as good. Lettuce pieces were too big. I only used one kind of tomato. I overroasted those pine nuts and didn't save any for the salad. Oh well, that's why I eat at your place. :P - T

I am a kombucha hound, and I've been making a pink kranbucha. I add about 1 c. unsweetened cranberry juice per gallon jar and add about 1/3 c. more sugar. It turns out fizzy and tangy, like some kind of natural berry soda. YUM! And I love how it makes the cultures turn pink.

I've definitely found that the type of tea determines the outcome of the 'booch. I've found that the lighter the tea (white or green), the fizzier the brew. I'll have to give your hibiscus recipe a try.

We should be careful and perceptive in all the information we give. We should be extraordinarily careful in giving opinion that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to refrain from giving recommendation which we don't tag along when it damages those who take us at our word.

To be a adroit lenient being is to be enduring a kind of openness to the world, an gift to guardianship uncertain things beyond your own restrain, that can lead you to be shattered in very exceptional circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly impressive relating to the get of the ethical passion: that it is based on a conviction in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a sparkler, something kind of fragile, but whose acutely precise handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.

Rihanna established her dance-pop credentials in summer 2005 with her debut smash hit, "Pon de Replay," and continued to demonstrate such hit potential in subsequent years (e.g., "S.O.S." in 2006; "Umbrella" in 2007; "Disturbia" in 2008). However, it was the singer's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, that made her a full-fledged international pop star with a regular presence atop the charts. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados, she exhibited a certain star quality as a young child, often winning beauty and talent contests.
