I made this festive salsa-kraut for a Health Fair and Fundraiser event (raising funds for the Edmonton Food Bank’s Tower Garden project) where I did the quickest 30 minute fermentation demo ever! I just speedy-chopped the veggies while I talked about the virtues of probiotic, enzyme and nutrient rich ferments… the demise of the industrialized food movement upon our food, and how friggin easy it is to make this stuff!
Nerd alert!!! Did you know??? A study in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry reported, the organophosphate insecticide Chlorpyrifos degraded rapidly during kimchi fermentation, and was over 83 percent degraded by day 3. By day 9, it was degraded completely. That means fermentation has been shown to eat up and eliminate a toxic pesticide. Dr. Mercola speculates that eating fermented foods may help to eat up the pesticides in your gut! I believe it, totally makes sense to me.
The tasting went over very well, to the point of having many offers to buy all my display jars full of kraut! I will have to make more for next time. One father walked up and asked for more samples, but it was all gone! His daughter ate his entire plate full of chips and salsa-kraut!
I LOVE THE IDEA OF FERMENTED SALSAS!!! For the rich and over-eatin’ holidaze this is the perfect condiment to bring nutritional balance and it is so easy, anyone can do this! NO need for complicated canning equipment… It is recommended to have a crusher bat, pestle, pounder, but I know people that massage it, smother it in water and let it sit, perhaps a little longer on the shelf to ferment before its ready, there are many techniques, so re-wild yourself and JUMP-IN!.
If you still don’t think it’s easy, then take a fermenting class, preferably with me in Edmonton. In 2016 I will be hosting at least one per month… with unique recipes every time!!! I am doing YouTube videos and periscope classes in January… Stay tuned my friends!

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone was joined by Suffolk and Town officials to announce the expansion of a program to collect and dispose of old or unneeded prescription medications to reduce drug abuse and protect the environment.
“As part of Suffolk County’s overall substance abuse initiative, Operation Medicine Cabinet will be expanded to include senior centers within the jurisdiction of the Suffolk County Police Department,” stated County Executive Bellone. “With the expansion of the program we are providing more opportunities for Suffolk residents to shed the meds.”
The Police Department’s seven precincts already maintain receptacles where residents can anonymously drop off unwanted, unused or expired medications at a safe and secure location 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The medications are then safely disposed of off-site. To date, the seven police precincts have collected 14,000 pounds of medications, which in turn keeps these medications out of the hands of those who could harm themselves and out of our waterways.
“This program is an innovative example of how Suffolk County is working hard to protect our drinking water and surface waters from contamination threats posed by the improper disposal of items in our medicine cabinet,” Bellone said. “It is also a great way to reduce drug abuse by taking these prescriptions out of circulation when they are no longer needed for legitimate purposes.”
Both local and nationwide studies have found evidence of medications, pharmaceuticals and personal care products in our waterways, as well as our groundwater, with potentially serious impacts to ecological and human health.
Suffolk County Police Commissioner Edward Webber said the drugs are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and said their removal would help remove the temptation to misuse drugs.
“This is an incredibly important initiative to protect our environment, the water we drink and to keep dangerous prescription drugs out of the hands of our young people,” said Suffolk County Legislator Steven Stern. “There is such tremendous support for Operation Medicine Cabinet that after we hosted the last event, we were able to fill up two large bins of unwanted or unused medication. The success of the program relies on you and your neighbors to participate.”
“While we all understand that for safety and groundwater protection reasons, it is important that we dispose of unneeded and outdated medications properly, it can be inconvenient to make a special trip to the disposal bin at the local police precincts,” said Huntington Supervisor Frank P. Petrone. “This new program will make it easier for seniors by bringing the disposal bins to where they are and not take them out of their regular routine.”
Town Councilwomen Susan Berland and Tracey Edwards also spoke about the value of the program and encouraged seniors to check their cabinets to remove old or unneeded prescription or over-the-counter drugs.
The program will continue to expand to senior centers around the county on the first Wednesday of every month from 10-1 p.m. with a police officer present at these centers:

"As a holiday break from our usual programme, Project Space 11 presents ‘Virtually worthless decorative objects’. The location of Project Space 11, Plymouth City Market, hosts a winter grotto (in the New George Street entrance) and Christmas market throughout December. This exhibition provides an artist’s perspective of the commonly known and well-loved object, the Christmas bauble. Artists and traders have contributed baubles and tree decorations of all shapes and sizes to decorate Project Space 11’s Christmas tree."
