Notes to Self re: sauerkraut

[lwood]

• Call Whole Foods in the morning about that order for five pounds of shredded cabbage.


• Hrafnar is delighted to eat and enjoy sauerkraut as long as the cabbage is shredded finely enough AND not red. Red cabbage makes pink sauerkraut, from which people back away slowly, white cabbage makes beige sauerkraut which attracts a throng. Know the difference!


• Call that German restaurant in Eureka Springs, AR, the one where you had that awesome Cream of Sauerkraut Soup during the weekend of dr_beowulf's wedding to evilwenchesinc. Shake them down for the recipe, because you misplaced it the last time they gave it to you. If you start now, the kraut should be soup-able in plenty of time for Hrafnar Yule, even if you'll miss Winternights.


• Taunt trogula about how a certain town in Ohio holds a sauerkraut festival every year.

I know I may be in the minority here but...

YECK!!!

I grew up in Wisconsin, and by all rights should love the stuff, but if you've ever smelled cabbage rotting in the fields after a spring thaw, you might just agree with me about its sheer in-edibleness.

Oh, I had a peanut butter-bearing cookie at just the wrong part of my recovery from a stomach bug, and couldn't stand peanut butter cooked into anything for years, up to and including the humble Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

So I get it, and as a result you can't have NONE of my sauerkraut! So there!
