You are always the educator, Kirsten, and for that I am so grateful. In one of your books you mention the salt/salary connection: I tell that tale every time I teach fermenting! And a marvelous new-to-me word: saliculture. How many folks unconsciously pick up the shaker and spread the precious grains without even a thought of the history. Thanks for the link to the book in your online bookstore: the book Salt will be ordered! Such a nice travel experience to Portugal you shared as well.
