So, I tried my hand at fermenting for the first time last week -- turnips from the NT cookbook

It said to leave at room temperature for 2 days but I left it for 4 (my house is REALLY cold)

The liquid looks a little cloudy and pink from the small amount of beets I put in there. The lids were puffed out under pressure. When I opened it an strong smell seemed to fill the room, before I even got the lid off

. It doesn't smell horrible or anything. Just really strong.

Dare I taste them? I was really looking forward to pickled turnips both to try fermented food but mainly because I absolutely love the pickled turnip that I get in Shwarmas from our local take out place.

I really really want to get into fermenting but I'm so scared of poisoning myself

And I was just thinking that I should get into Kombucha because I just saw a friend of mine has posted pics of hers on facebook and I could grab a SKOBY from her.
