<hr />
<div>In [[Mendocino County]], [[California]].<br />
<br />
There are two trails: the northern and southern. The northern trail is more popular and requires permits, which are hard to get and can take up to a year in advance to acquire. You also have to check the tide charts in advance, as the northern trail is treacherous during high tides.<br />
<br />
Information on permitting:<br />
<br />
* https://www.blm.gov/programs/recreation/permits-and-passes/lotteries-and-permit-systems/california/kingrange<br />
* https://www.blm.gov/press-release/blm-will-require-overnight-wilderness-reservations-king-range<br />
<br />
The southern trail snakes along the cliffs rather than the beach itself, so you can hike without fear during high tides. You also can visit without reservation. It costs $5/night, which you can pay for at the trailhead.<ref>Lester Knight.

<div>I like [http://homecookinginmontana.blogspot.com/2013/02/homemade-german-liverwurst-pateu-de-casa.html this recipe] for liverwurst. I use pork liver and heart.<br />
<br />
= Ingredients =<br />
<br />
Will yield about 2 3/4 lbs of liverwurst.<br />
<br />
* 1.25 lbs pork liver<br />
* 1/2 lb pork heart (can use pork shoulder)<br />
* 3/4 lb back fat<br />
* 3 tsps table salt<br />
* 1 1/2 tsp sugar<br />
* 1/2 onion +1 TBS oil, grated and cooked till soft and golden <br />
* 1/4 tsp ground cardamom<br />
* 1/2 tsp ground ginger<br />
* 1/4 tsp ground mace<br />
* 2 tsps dried marjoram<br />
* 1/4 tsp ground coriander, optional<br />
* 1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper<br />
<br />
= Recipe =<br />
<br />
# Grate onion and sautee until soft and golden. Allow to cool.<br />
# Weigh out fat, liver, and heart. Cut in chunks.<br />
# Mix onions, meat, fat, and spices. Freeze until solid.<br />
# Grind using a fine grinder plate. Re-freeze, and re-grind.<br />
# Optional: Place liver mixture in fridge and allow to sit overnight or up to 24 hrs.<br />
# If you have casings, stuff the liver mixture into them.<br />
# If you don't have casings, divide liver mixture into three parts. Place one part of the liver mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper. Fold over, and roll into a log. Twist ends. Place parchment paper wrapped liver mixture on a piece of foil. Wrap yet again, twisting the ends to tighten log. Repeat with other two portions.<br />
# Add the sausage to a large pot with cold water. Heat pot on low until temperature reaches 170 deg F( no higher). Simmer, and adjust heat as needed to maintain a constant temperature. Internal temperature should be around 145 degrees, which should take about 40 minutes total cooking time. <br />
# Remove from water, unwrap and allow to cool. Re-wrap with fresh parchment paper tightly(and then again in plastic wrap if desired) ... or place in small glass containers and cover. <br />
# Refrigerate for 12-24 hours to allow the flavors to settle as well as the liverwurst to "mature."<br />

Made it using the liver and heart from the Eggstravaganza cow and pork fat from the market. Decided to try stuffing in casings. The casings didn't work so well. The liverwurst leaked from them while cooking (there may be a better way of making links than the simple twists), and the casings didn't give them the wonderful pop that I wanted. Would have been better to poach in parchment paper like I did before.<br />
<br />
Also, be more generous with the spices!<br />

'''Fall Foliage in California:'''<br />
"Driving inland from the North Coast, Eureka to Redding, is gorgeous," Taggart said. "The pines pop with the deep red leaves of poison oak vines." Other Sunset magazine recommendations for seeing fall color in California: June Lake Loop in the Eastern Sierra; aspen trees in Carson Pass and Hope Valley along state 88 south of Tahoe; Highway 395 from Lee Vining south to Tom's Place; big leaf and vine maple trees along the Avenue of the Giants and Redwood National Park; sycamores in the Southern California coastal canyons; and black oaks in Yosemite Valley."

Things to try:<br />
<br />
* Burping — Airtight container. Let the gas out and mix once a day.<br />
* Cheesecloth — Mix once a day<br />
* Airlock — specially designed lids that release gas without letting air in. Seems to be necessary for wine-making in particular.<br />
<br />
= Water =<br />
<br />
For fermentation that requires water, you want to make sure there's no chlorine or chloramine. Brita filters apparently remove most of the chlorine and some, but not all of the chloramines. I'm taking filtered water, then boiling for 30 minutes.<br />

<hr />
<div>= Dry Ingredients =<br />
<br />
* 1 cup flour<br />
* 2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
* ½ teaspoon baking soda<br />
* ¼ teaspoon salt<br />
<br />
= Wet Ingredients =<br />
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar, firmly packed<br />
* 2 tablespoons olive oil<br />
* 1 egg<br />
* 1¼ cups buttermilk (or 1/4 cup yogurt + 1 cup milk; see below)<br />
<br />
= Recipe =<br />
# Sift dry ingredients together in large mixing bowl. <br />
# In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients well, in the order listed above.<br />
# Combine the dry and wet ingredients and stir until the ingredients are just blended.<br />
# Cook pancakes at medium/low heat, flipping when the surface appears bubbly.<br />
<br />
Serves 6 people. Do a 1/3 portion for 2 people, 1/2 portion for 3, adjusting the liquid accordingly. (I use a whole egg for smaller portions, then decrease the buttermilk / yogurt + milk.)<br />
<br />
I never have buttermilk in the house, so I use plain yogurt + milk, and I think it works really well — possibly better than buttermilk. I use at least 1/4 cup yogurt to 1 cup milk, but adding a greater proportion of yogurt is fine, possibly even better.<br />
<br />
As last resort, you can also use lemon juice and milk. See [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/voraciously/wp/2020/06/15/the-proof-is-in-the-pancakes-adding-lemon-juice-or-vinegar-to-milk-is-a-bad-buttermilk-substitute/ this piece] for more on substitutes for buttermilk.<br />

'''Fall Foliage in California:'''<br />
"Driving inland from the North Coast, Eureka to Redding, is gorgeous," Taggart said. "The pines pop with the deep red leaves of poison oak vines." Other Sunset magazine recommendations for seeing fall color in California: June Lake Loop in the Eastern Sierra; aspen trees in Carson Pass and Hope Valley along state 88 south of Tahoe; Highway 395 from Lee Vining south to Tom's Place; big leaf and vine maple trees along the Avenue of the Giants and Redwood National Park; sycamores in the Southern California coastal canyons; and black oaks in Yosemite Valley." (I think I got this from the San Jose Mercury News travel section.)<br />

<br />
= Oysters =<br />
<br />
I've been taking day trips to [[Marshall]] on the eastern inlet for oysters at [[Hog Island Oyster Company]] since it was a tiny, podunk outfit that would sell you a bag of oysters and loan you a tray, a glove, and an oyster knife. Now, it's a hip establishment with a cool bar and grill made from an old boat that requires reservations a month in advance. However, you can still buy a bag of oysters from the counter, take them somewhere, and shuck them yourselves. Millerton Point (part of [[Tomales Bay State Park]] about a 10-minute drive south) is a good spot. Bring warm clothing! It often gets foggy, windy, and cold there.<br />
<br />
= Kayaking =<br />
<br />
[[Blue Waters Kayaking]] is one of the more prominent outfitters in the region. I used them on September 22, 2019 with Sujean and Eun-Joung, and they were great! They have a launch point in [[Inverness]] on the western inlet which is easily accessible. From there, it's about an hour to paddle north to [[Heart's Desire Beach]] (part of [[Tomales Bay State Park]]), a beautiful, mainly locals beach — perfect for swimming and hanging out.<br />
<br />
Other launch points:<br />
* [[Whitehouse Pool]]. Close to [[Point Reyes Station]]<br />
* [[Miller Boat Launch]]. On the northeast side of Tomales Bay, north of [[Marshall]]<br />

<br />
There are a bunch of outfits that do bioluminescence kayak tours on Tomales Bay, and they’re all highly rated on Yelp. [[Blue Waters Kayaking]] seems to be one of the more prominent outfitters (the other one is [https://pointreyesoutdoors.com/bioluminescence-paddles/ Point Reyes Outdoor]), and they’re also the only one that offers [https://www.bluewaterskayaking.com/tour/full-moon-sunset-bioluminescence-paddle-tours/ camping tours].

<hr />
<div>Also known as Eurasian weed, wood sorrel, and Bermuda buttercup. Often confused for clovers (particularly shamrocks). You can differentiate them by their heart-shaped leaves. (Clovers are edible too, so don't worry.) Unlike clovers (which are part of the legume family), they do not seem to be nitrogen-fixers.<br />
<br />
The ones I've seen in California have yellow flowers. (Jessica used to pick these for Mom.) However, they apparently can have purple or white flowers too. Flowers have five petals.<br />
<br />
From the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis Oxalis] family. Websites often warn about the presence of oxalic acid, which can inhibit calcium absorption and can cause kidney stones. However, the warnings are overstated.<ref>Sam Sycamore. [http://thegoodliferevival.com/blog/wood-sorrel "How to Identify Wood Sorrel — Foraging for Edible Wild Greens."]</ref> Common foods, such as spinach and broccoli, have more oxalic acid than wood sorrel, and apparently cooking mitigates the effect anyway. It is a diuretic, though. It also has a lot of vitamin C.<ref>Bonnie Grant. [https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/yellow-woodsorrel-uses.htm "Is Yellow Woodsorrel Edible: Taking Advantage Of Yellow Woodsorrel Uses."]</ref><br />
<br />
Tastes lemony, like sorrel, but unrelated. Use them fresh in salads, cooked, in tea, etc. The whole plant is edible.<br />
<br />
How invasive is it? This March 2015 ''Bay Nature'' [https://baynature.org/article/a-natural-history-of-that-little-yellow-flower-thats-everywhere-right-now/ piece] suggests it's a scourge, which this [https://milliontrees.me/2015/05/15/five-reasons-its-okay-to-love-oxalis-and-stop-poisoning-it/ article] disputes, claiming that it's good for pollinators and co-exists well with other plants. It tends to grow in disturbed soil, which is why it pops up in gardens. [http://cnps-yerbabuena.org/oxalis/ This piece] offers the best description of how it propagates and how to remove it — pulling it tenaciously will weaken the bulbs over time, and after five-ish years, they should be under control.<br />

<hr />
<div>= Ingredients =<br />
<br />
* Apples. Can just use the scraps (core, peel, etc.). I've seen different opinions on the seeds, so I leave them out.<br />
* Ratio of 1 cup of filtered, boiled water to 1 tbsp sugar<br />
* Optional: Mother from previous vinegar<br />
<br />
= Recipe =<br />
<br />
Fill sterilized jar 3/4 way with apple and scraps. Add enough sugar water to fill the bottle. Make sure the apples are submerged. Cover with cheesecloth.<br />
<br />
Place jar in cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks, checking regularly to make sure apples are submerged. Bubbles indicate that fermentation is starting. A white foam will eventually form on top. This will become the mother in a few weeks. After 2-3 weeks, it should taste apple-y and sweet, but not yet acidic.<br />
<br />
Strain the liquid into the original jar, cover with cheesecloth, and let sit for another 3-4 weeks, stirring every few days. Start tasting after a week. When it reaches the desired acidity, you can start using it.<br />
<br />
If you have some [https://preserveandpickle.com/how-to-make-a-vinegar-mother/ mother] from a previous ferment, use that in initial mixture. That will speed up the fermentation.<br />
<br />
It's [https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2015/02/how-to-make-apple-cider-vinegar.html better not to use homemade vinegar for pickling] unless you can assure that it has an acetic acid level of at least 5%.<br />
<br />
= History =<br />
== December 2022 ==<br />
=== January 12, 2023 ===<br />
Filtered out apple bits. Smells and tastes good. Good foaming action. Had been mixing it mostly regularly (except when I was out of town.) Had some mold from neglect, which I removed a few times. Covered with cheesecloth. Will check in again in a month.<br />
<br />
=== December 26, 2022 ===<br />
Started a batch with cores, skins, and some chunks from Eun-Joung's apples. (Made an [[apple galette]] earlier.) Filled with sugar water and some raw vinegar to help it get going. Filled a half gallon jar, and loosely covered.<br />
<br />
== November 2019 ==<br />
<br />
=== November 6, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Noon-ish, started a jar.<br />
<br />
=== November 7, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
No foam. Turns out Eun-Joung had some store bought raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, so decided to add two spoonfuls. In retrospect, wish I had done this with Mom's homemade persimmon vinegar instead, but all good. Curious to see how much this accelerates things, if at all.<br />
<br />
=== November 8, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
No foam. Smells sour (a la the vinegar) — not as pleasant as it was before, but not bad.<br />
<br />
=== November 9, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
No change.<br />
<br />
=== November 10, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Foaming! Wonder if this was accelerated by using the same wooden spoon I had used to mix the apple wine without washing it first. Either way, it's a good sign.<br />
<br />
=== November 11, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Still foaming away.<br />
<br />
=== November 12, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Foaming seems to have slowed. Starting to smell sour again. Time to filter for second ferment soon?<br />
<br />
=== November 14, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Strained solids, rinsed jar, added liquid back. Filled the gap with water, and covered with cheesecloth.<br />
<br />
Worried that I ended this initial fermentation too soon. Was supposed to be 2-3 weeks, only did about a week, but I did add a few spoonfuls of raw vinegar which may have accelerated this.<br />
<br />
=== November 15, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Noticed a little film forming on top. Maybe the mother? Also smelling more vinegary. A little relieved.<br />
<br />
=== November 17, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Starting to turn dark in color, perhaps from the oxidization. Much darker than the wine. Think it’s going well.<br />

Worried that I ended this initial fermentation too soon. Was supposed to be 2-3 weeks, only did about a week, but I did add a few spoonfuls of raw vinegar which may have accelerated this.<br />

Starting to turn dark in color, perhaps from the oxidization. Much darker than the wine. Think it’s going well.<br />

<div>= Ingredients =<br />
<br />
* Apples. Can just use the scraps (core, peel, etc.). I've seen different opinions on the seeds, so I leave them out.<br />
* Ratio of 1 cup of filtered, boiled water to 1 tbsp sugar<br />
* Optional: Mother from previous vinegar<br />
<br />
= Recipe =<br />
<br />
Fill sterilized jar 3/4 way with apple and scraps. Add enough sugar water to fill the bottle. Make sure the apples are submerged. Cover with cheesecloth.<br />
<br />
Place jar in cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks, checking regularly to make sure apples are submerged. Bubbles indicate that fermentation is starting. A white foam will eventually form on top. This will become the mother in a few weeks. After 2-3 weeks, it should taste apple-y and sweet, but not yet acidic.<br />
<br />
Strain the liquid into the original jar, cover with cheesecloth, and let sit for another 3-4 weeks, stirring every few days. Start tasting after a week. When it reaches the desired acidity, you can start using it.<br />
<br />
If you have some [https://preserveandpickle.com/how-to-make-a-vinegar-mother/ mother] from a previous ferment, use that in initial mixture. That will speed up the fermentation.<br />
<br />
It's [https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2015/02/how-to-make-apple-cider-vinegar.html better not to use homemade vinegar for pickling] unless you can assure that it has an acetic acid level of at least 5%.<br />

Filtered out apple bits. Smells and tastes good. Good foaming action. Had been mixing it mostly regularly (except when I was out of town.) Had some mold from neglect, which I removed a few times. Covered with cheesecloth. Will check in again in a month.<br />
<br />
=== December 26, 2022 ===<br />
Started a batch with cores, skins, and some chunks from Eun-Joung's apples. (Made an [[apple galette]] earlier.) Filled with sugar water and some raw vinegar to help it get going. Filled a half gallon jar, and loosely covered.<br />

Noon-ish, started a jar.<br />

=== November 7, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
No foam. Turns out Eun-Joung had some store bought raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, so decided to add two spoonfuls. In retrospect, wish I had done this with Mom's homemade persimmon vinegar instead, but all good. Curious to see how much this accelerates things, if at all.<br />
<br />
=== November 8, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
No foam. Smells sour (a la the vinegar) — not as pleasant as it was before, but not bad.<br />
<br />
=== November 9, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
No change.<br />
<br />
=== November 10, 2019 ===<br />
<br />
Foaming! Wonder if this was accelerated by using the same wooden spoon I had used to mix the apple wine without washing it first. Either way, it's a good sign.<br />
