Monday, August 07, 2006 My alien baby
The day before yesterday, I went on the internet and convinced a stranger in Newport News, VA to send me live kombucha culture. From what I can tell, this is a great big pancake of friendly bacteria. Notes from my supplier lead me to believe that it will arrive sloshing around in a Powerade bottle. This is a world of wonders.
Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that is supposed to fix everything that's wrong with you, put a spring in your step, and make your coat shiny. Kombucha tastes grosser than gross, which is the main reason I want to make my own.
A ton of my co-workers swear by it, so I've become curious, but the stuff costs three dollars a bottle at Whole Foods, and I can't pay that much for something that I have to will myself to drink.
So far, my step and my coat are just about the same as always, and nobody has commented that there's anything less wrong with me than usual. It's OK, though, because my alien baby will be here any day, and I will keep it in a jar forever. posted by Frenzy Lohan | 8/07/2006 01:50:00 AM
