GDSA, in the summer here the temp in the kitchen gets to be about 28 or 29 which is where the thermostat is set. My kefir ferments fully in 18 hours or less at those warm temps. I agree with LJoyce about putting it in the frig when you’re away during the day. It would probably ferment too quickly or maybe it would be too hot at those temps.
LJoyce, seeing the Northern Lights has always been on my wish list too. I think they can occasionally be seen in some of the northern states in the U.S. (And Alaska of course.) The big thing is to be far enough away from city lights. Norway would be an amazing place to visit, but I agree about not liking the cold. I find that coats that are available in California aren’t usually warm enough for our northern states or the east coast of the US, much less Norway.
Julie, thank you for the link with the birds. They are all so beautiful! I see you have owls there too. Those we have, though maybe different types. It does seem like many of your birds are less afraid of humans. Maybe because people feed them more often?
Jody, I had never seen or even heard of a rambutan, longan or custard apple much less tasted one. They are very exotic looking! Are they very common in Australia or NZ?
Thin and Charlie’s Mom, hope you had a great meetup! Have you ever met each other in person before?
Cinque, it would be fun to write down a few of the songs we have on our Nostalgia or Oldies lists. Many of the singers and groups are popular around the world, but some I hadn’t heard of before. Of course after the ’60’s British Invasion, we know a lot of the English ones. My bedroom walls were completely covered with pictures of the Beatles!
