fun with fermentation

So Monday is the official start of Autumn—it's getting down to the 50s at night here in NYC, and I'm starting to enjoy hot food again. It will also mark the launch of a new theme-series on Spooning: Fun With Fermentation. Tis the season for cider, beer, pickles...kombucha. Ushering in the season of fermented goodies, last Sunday was the 8th annual New York Pickle Day, presented by the Pickle Wing of the NYC Food Museum. As the weather cools, yeasty treats will be celebrated at festivals all over from now 'til the next equinox: cider, beer, sake, kimchi, and of course bread. If you are a fermentation fan, send in your stories!
