I recently found this mason jar in my back yard. I was cleaning up some trash and it was laying on it's side in the dirt, amazingly unbroken. I brought it up to the house and oxicleaned it, then cleaned it again. In the end it's a perfectly functional glass jar, and I love that about these jars.
Here I am using the jar to culture my own buttermilk. I used foodiewithfamily 's simple instructions using an almost expired quart of whole milk mixed with maybe 1/3 cup of buttermilk. If this works (and I have no reason to think it won't) then I plan to start making more cornbread and cake and bread. :) Also, I imagine myself as a skinny old man drinking lukewarm buttermilk straight from the jar, dribbling some into my grey, wizened beard as I nod my head to a classic DJ Shadow track.
