    The Viking of Stamford Bridge

    Someone so badass he’s remembered by both the English and the Vikings in their written histories, but no one bothered to record his name.

    Jicama. It’s the most refreshing snack ever. And they are dirt cheap and readily available.

    It’s like biting into sweet crispy water. Peel it, cut it up into sticks. Boom. It’ll be gone by the end of the day.

      In a lot of stores the closest thing you are going to find is turnip. It is also sweet, crisp and delicious but I don’t know how it compares.

    Kombucha is a good replacement for soft drink and it’s really easy to make at home. Get a big glass jar (I do mine in batches of about 4L/1 gallon). Boil your 4L of water in a big saucepan, add a cup of white sugar, and about 6 tea bags. After it’s boiled take the tea bags out and let it cool to body temp. Add it to your big glass jar and add a starter scoby (they’re like $10 on Amazon). After about 5-10 days you take the Kombucha out of the big jar and put it into small bottles, I use swing top beer bottles. Leave the scoby and a little bit of liquid in the jar for your next batch . You can add something to the bottles for flavour and secondary fermentation at this point, I use 50ml of cordial. Leave the bottles for a few days and then consume.

    I have mine running perpetually and consume about one bottle a day. As soon as I bottle some I put more tea in the jar. It’s costs maybe a dollar or two per batch.
