Study suggests liquid brines could form on Mars' surface during seasonal frost melting

Due to extreme temperatures and the dryness of Mars, it's thought to be impossible for liquid water to form on the planet's surface, a critical precondition for habitability. The only hope of finding liquid water appears to be in the form of brines, which are liquids with high concentrations of salts that can freeze at much lower temperatures. But the question of whether brines can even form on Mars has yet to be answered.

I can still make the old recipes, but everything is much more sour now. I can't wash the brine off the preserved vegetables, because we don't have the water to spare.

Three months until we find out if the harvest succeeded. I would like to have at least fresh onions to cook with.

The #brine of your tears tastes of tinned sardines and tuna fish. Sometimes, when I shake the vial, I see creatures swim in the salt water. I would empty it in to the sea and let those moments drift away in the current. But I can't let you go. Even the bad times are precious to me.

The Brine Of My Life

There’s something wildly satisfying about pulling a jar of homemade pickles out of the fridge. Maybe it’s the bite of vinegar and spice. Maybe it’s the crunch you’ve curated to perfecti…

Just had a delicious #brine pickle and I hope the #garlicoil doesn't kill me. #garlicintolerance

Finally getting around to my next batch of #fermentation #pickled vegetables. Below the murky orange #brine is about 1.4 kilos of grated carrots and 18 grams of ginger.
