Jonathon Thank you!

[Chef]

Jonathon Thanks for the canning group. When I join, the group does not show up in my profile.

[Jonathon]

Chef Go to your profile (click on the circle icon in the way upper right-hand corner of the screen) and click edit profile, there is a section called “group title” and you can hold down the control button on your keyboard and select what badges show.

[Chef]

Jonathon I got that part, it just doesn’t show in the list of groups joined.

Anybody do anything with radishes? I’ve always eaten them just raw. I’ve seen a few places pickle them and Im starting to see roasted/baked.

[Chef]

deanlorensen Roasted with a little olive oil, garlic and Parmesan cheese is good. I also roast any root vegetable, like turnips, carrots, onions, potatoes, beets, radishes, … and season them with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary for like a breakfast/brunch side dish

deanlorensen I like to slice them thinly and make a fermented pickle with them.

Rinse the dirt and stuff off, remove the roots and stems, and slice them as thinly as you can manage (I use a mandoline). Submerge them in a 2% brine, and let nature take its course. Don’t peel them, though. You need what’s on the skin. That’s what does the fermenting.

I added some sliced onion and julienned ginger (peeled) to the mix, and that turned out great. I also chopped up the greens and added them. They were a little rough in texture, but it was just a bit of fun to have them in there. I may or may not do that again.

If you don’t want to ferment them, you can use 5% vinegar, but you get a cleaner, smoother sour character with fermentation.

Jonathon Also, how to you contact the group would it be Canning ?

[Jonathon]

Chef yes, that should send an alley to all members of that group!

[Chef]

Jonathon Thanks, but joining still does not add the group to the group titles in the edit page

[Jonathon]

Chef I think I got it now, it was a setting in the group. Anyone in the Dry-Cured-Sausage thinks we need a different color?

Yup.canning badge can now be added to members line.

[Dave R]

Jonathon no magenta is fine

[TexLaw]

Jonathon The color for the dry cited sausage group is fine with me. Heck, it even looks like some salami.

[Jonathon]

TexLaw That was my original thought that I was trying for but I just didn’t know how people feel about pink/salmon but Dave R is probably right, magenta is the color. Checked with some women here and it appears to be Fuschia?

[TexLaw]

Jonathon Maybe it’s just the way it looks next to your Team Blue badge that’s the problem.

[PapaSop]

TexLaw awesome

[Tex_77]

Jonathon you have to be tough to wear pink!

[Chef]
