Here's another great resource. I just found it today. What is GNOWFGLINS? It stands for "God's Natural, Organic, Whole Foods, Grown Locally, In Season." A lady out in Oregon has taken a big thick book called "Nourishing Traditions" (that I have learned soooooo much from) and teaches the basics in a simple on-line course from her own kitchen. Here's a clip from her website (below).

What’s in the eCourse?
This plan isn’t called “Fundamentals” for nothing. I carefully selected the basic skills in this eCourse, and I believe every healthy cook should know how to do them. They each have a purpose in the nutrient-dense diet that keeps us feeling, looking, and doing our best for God and others.

Funny - I just found this site this past week! Kinda wished I'd gotten in early enough to take some of these lessons since I only know how to soak nuts, seeds, and beans. I guess I can ferment veggies too but I buy most of them from the farm behind Miller's Naturals (do you eat kraut, etc?).
Really good website though, huh? Also, thx for the info about the butter - I'll try those temps next time (as in this week) I make some!
Andrea, I really like fermented veggies, like kraut, but I gotta say that I don't eat them nearly as often as I should. I just made saurkraut for the first time and it turned out really good. I just poured boiling water over a jar full of shredded fresh cabbage with a tsp. salt. Then capped it tight with a lid that had been boiled and let it sit at room temp. for a week.
