Step 11Week 2
My free living food has borne fruit!
The sprouts are sending up green shoots, and the kombucha is sparkly and delicious, today!
A handful of sprouts, and a glassful of kombucha, and some eggs, are the best way to start!
I also juice a lime I picked in California into my water bottle. All water should taste so good.
My friends from China, Jim and Mandy, give me a "Moon Cake", which looks like a bun filled with eggs and meat, smells like a pastry, and tastes fabulous.
Sprouts: probably about $0.02. I probably paid $2 for a sack full of lentil beans, and used a tenth of it for the sprouting. Those twenty cents worth of sprouts will last me for at least two weeks. Man!
Kombucha: All it takes is a teabag and some sugar. Should I even count this beverage? It's nutritional because it's full of bacteria, and they reproduce for just a few ounces of sugar. My glass of the k'cha: $0.05?
So, I'm already full, and only set back $0.07, plus $0.30 for the eggs.

Growing mushrooms to eat takes a suprising amount of work (if you're me). Growing mushrooms that you don't feel safe eating but pop up anyway all over your yard, priceless. I think I read somewhere that mushrooms take a pretty long time to sprout in anything but an ideal environment, and an ideal environment is a pain in the ass. Of course, if you get some food mushroom spores somehow and were so inclined, you might want to build a humidor and substrate like the magic mushroom guys do, and plant your decidedly non-magical spores in that substrate. Like I said, a lot of work, but large amounts of tasty food mushrooms would result. The magic mushroom guys write all kinds of directions on humidors and substrates, so that'd be what to read.
