Puces Pop is long gone, but fondly remembered. Bread-making has resumed full-force. Sour beets are on the horizon. Sauerkraut, mushroom and onion pierogis have been assembled. And since last posting, a second (huge!) batch of sour pickles matured and departed. Fall  Winter is in the air.

Documentation is forthcoming.*

Pop Puces

With fall frostiness comes... Pop Montreal. If you're around next weekend, don't miss out - check out some shows, but also drop by Eglise St-Michel at 105 St-Viateur West for Puces Pop, the craft-sale extraordinaire. I'll be there hawking my goods, including sauerkraut, curtido, kimchi, and pickles, from 11am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday, September 24-25. Come to visit and try something tangy. I hear pickles-on-sticks are excellent sustenance for long, arduous musical journeys.

They're ready. Tangy and crunchy. Delicious. I'll be hawking their siblings at Puces Pop, September 24-25. Come on down to share in the fun.
