Say Hello to Scooby

Time to unveil the third member of our road trip party: Scooby the SCOBY!!


Scooby is our kombucha colony (aka mushroom aka SCOBY). Making kombucha in the car is about the most Bay-Area faux-hippie we can get. This picture shows Scooby being trimmed for the first part of the trip. We're taking what's in the jar and leaving the rest behind for our subletter to use for his own batch. We started him from a commercial bottle about 2 months ago. It took quite some doing to get him out of the jar.

Scooby is our official road trip mascot. That's a little creepy since we'll be eating little bits of him along the way. Hilary is now grossed out. Mmmm, Scooby!

    That thing is like the blob - You'll be lucky it doesn't grow big enough to eat YOU!
    Bon voyage!

    Looking at the picture, my first thought is that it looks like raw chicken. Eeeeew. I think I'll take my tea with only the standard complement of bacteria, thanks very much :P
