Kelly - I'll let you know more about the shop as I know more, but probably you'll hear when I do, since you live in Eugene. It is great you're sharing real food info with your friend.

Water to sundried tomato amounts vary. If I'm making a soup, I just throw them in unless they are too big, in which case I'll soak them in just enough water to cover and then cut them when they are soft and put water plus tomatoes in the soup. I will try to do a post on making marina and ketschup sometime and get more specific, but usually I just put the dried tomatoes straight in the Vitamix and try to add as little water as I can get by with. I do add other liquids, depending on what I'm doing and also sometimes fresh tomatoes. If it's something else, like salads or stirfry, again, I do just enough water to cover. You can also cover sundried tomatoes with olive oil, which is nice for salads, omelets, and other quick things and flavors the oil too. Wardeh, that’s great you have so many tomatoes!

Awesome. I'll be there! I have a friend just north of Coburg and she recently has wanted to make some big changes in her eating habits, so I've been sharing with her Body Ecology and WAPF info. Now, maybe we'll have a good meeting place for a yogurt or kefir. Thanks for the info. A frozen yogurt shop!! Awesome. I’ll be there!

Last year, I dried tons of tomatoes, instead of canning them. They're still in the freezer. I wasn't sure how to get them in sauces. About how much water to tomato do you do?

Oh, I wanted to tell you and Marianne some news about Eugene. My dear friend from college lives there. She and her husband are opening up a healthy frozen yogurt shop - using kefir from Nancy's and low sugar and virtually all organic ingredients. We're excited about getting "treats" there every now and then. :) She said they're shooting to be open sometime in Feb. It will be on Coburg Rd. somewhere. Maybe we could meet there? :) Kelly – Okay, sounds good!

I picked that one because Julie @ CFH recommended it as a versatile, easy, and a nicely flavored starter. And it has proved to be so! I've also gotten my water kefir and dairy kefir grains there, a yogurt starter (villi - which I didn't keep up as I found kefir to be easier and fit the same bill as well as provide many more beneficial bacteria), and a buttermilk starter (which I haven't used yet). I've also gotten liquid rennet for cheesemaking, muslin bags to hold the water kefir grains (definitely recommend those!), and a gallon-size vegetable fermentation master (worked awesome for sauerkraut). You didn't ask about those things, but I thought I'd mention them anyway. :) Faith – I’ve been using the New England sourdough starter.
