My cousin in Arizona lost a whole five gallon crock of pickles last summer when his garage fridge died. He said it turned into a slimy mess overnight once the heat got to it. It seems like once those good bacteria get too warm, the bad ones just take over and ruin everything. I'm way more careful about my ferment spot now after hearing his story.

Yeah, that's the only way that works. I tried to get my sister into X-Men with a whole reading order and she just stared at me. Handed her the first volume of the new Ms. Marvel run and she was hooked.

You sure that's not just your Halloween costume, @caleb_thomas85?
