Once I started getting into fermentation, I was amazed by how useful and versatile it was! I think the efforts to "sanitize" everything have stolen a generation's worth of understanding that, like you said, not all bacteria and yeast are bad. Goodness, if we didn't have the beneficial bacteria covering our skin or in our guts, we'd be dead pretty quick!

Thanks so much for your comment! And YES to getting kids in the kitchen, cooking and learning about food. :) :)
