I’ve been making regular Napa cabbage kimchi for years and just made my first batch of cucumber kimchi and was wondering how long you all recommend fermenting it at room temperature before putting it in the fridge?
It’s finally warm enough at night to leave my nepenthes outside and am wondering where I should put it? I have a back patio that faces northwest and front patio that faces south east and multiple trees I could hang it in. Should I keep it out of any direct sunlight? I had it under a grow light all winter and it’s been doing good so far.
I’ve changed my diet completely, cut out all excess sugar, eat fiber with every meal, make sure I don’t go overboard with carbs during a meal. Have my last meal early and then go for a 2-3 mile walk after dinner. My fasting glucose was in the 120s when I changed my diet back in September but I cannot get it to dip below 100 where it’s been since December. It’s usually between 104-108 after fasting for 12+ hours. I have days where the highest my blood sugar will go is 120 when my highest days only go into the 130s and it’s still not falling below 100. If I don’t go for a walk after dinner it will struggle to go down and I might wake up with a blood sugar in the 110s the next morning. The lowest it’s gotten is 96 after not eating when I got up and doing yard work all day. I’m pretty thin too staying around 150 pounds and am 5’11. What am I doing wrong?
