I pack the finished veggies into glass jars, cover with the brine and refrigerate. You don't list salt in your recipe. Does it work without salt? Doesn't spoil?

I do give The Girls raw veggies almost every day (sweet potato is a favorite). And raw sweet potato is ALMOST as purty as these veggies! Lizzie, Always happy when I can make you laugh :) . I hadn't even thought of these as a yogurt substitute for the bacteria, but of course they'd be great for that! In fact, I seem to remember my teacher saying that these contain an even wider array of healthy bacteria than the regular yogurt products! In our class, we made them with some starter bacteria (in a packet), but the website promises that you don't need it. . . I'm going to try the veggies "on their own" next time. happyherbivore, They are rather cheery, aren't they? :) Brian Cruz,

Man, that made me laugh! Ricki, this is totally what I need to make. Since I can't eat dairy I miss out on all of those good bacteria and I thought there was no way to get them other than yogurt! But alas! Superwoman Ricki has come to the rescue! Woohoo! Crass, uncouth vegetables? Man, that made me laugh!

Did you know that raw food is also good for your dog? Well, raw meat that is. These processed kibbles & bits were feeding them will be the death of our four legged friends. Its also a great cure for parvo. Raw meat isnt as purty as your veggies though. Great post. Did you know that raw food is also good for your dog? Well, raw meat that is.

I thought those colors were very spring-like--almost like a watercolor or something (and of course it tastes pretty good, too!). VeggieGirl, Different, in any case! AndreaZ, I thought so, too. Jenny, Glad to provide the chuckle! At least I can say not all my addictions are food-related! ;) Lucy, I thought this particular course might appeal to you, too because of the holistic approach. I do find it fascinating and soak up all the info when I'm there, but will have to work on that mindfulness aspect. I hadn't considered the wine approach, however--I think I'm going to have to give that one a try! Celine,

But yours would look great on a spread of salads But I like the name cultures vegetables - I kept thinking are these the vegetables that go to the ballet and the opera!

Just what I need with a large preserving jar and a spankingly fresh red cabbage waiting to be played with. The course sounds fascinating. Fabulous (and very purty, too).
