What if it Snows?

Man, I miss that stuff. Wife has Korean friends in Florida...the Kimchee rolls were the BOMB diggidy for sure. Has SO much on 'KALE' ... IMHO.

The dried squid that beats the EF out of beef jerky; what is that called? It's been awhile; now I want some. Long, stringy, white...naturally salty.. auuuuuugh... please... TELL ME~!

We HAD an Asian shoppe not far here in the country a few years ago; now I've got to 'tuck in' to Toledo for anything good. You got me there, man. Sure do. As I salivate.

 

This is neither, just the BlackFork creek that runs through my back yard. No extra property taxes, either. Caught many a decent freshwater fish right here...have a trolling motor (for when 'i' drive.) A bit up creek, deeper, cooler, fresher, ahhhh... cane poles and happiness.

 

Ojinguh. It's definitely an acquired taste. Not even after 23 years of marriage has THAT made me salivate.

 

Well, i dunno where the 'kid' went.. but here's one for him.. (watch, he won't even know it, haha!)
@FlaSwampRat ... guess n' go, haha! Oh wait; name's in the title, et al... nvm. You STILL don't know it, haha!

 

I don't know Korean food too well.

However. If you took a 6 to 10 gallon stone container with cap.

1 and 1/2 teaspoon per pound of cabbage. (You would cut a conical type coring out of the center of the cabbage head from outside in first...) Put that teaspoon of salt equalling total pounds of cabbage weight it's going into.

you will want 2% salt solution of filtered water. This is not the time to be fooling with crappy tap water (*I mean it... really mean it... crappy water with other stuff in it will ruin it)

Chop cabbage, process it by hand or grinder until you have liquid coming out of the material. (Save that)

Eventually you will have a container full of cabbage shredded and salted. Followed by the liquid that was part of it when you processed it by hand. Then gently fill container with 2% salt solution of water. Cover.

Now this should be the hard part. Waiting. Takes more than a month. Top off with 2% solution as you ferment over time.

The stone container is important as you ferment gaining heat as you go. (Thats ok provided your container can take it)

Once you are satisfied you have sauerkraut prepare it according to taste and add to your dinner situation.

The problem with my writing this post is literally a verbal history and how to in story form from a German Relative. I would research the subject using cookbooks or other sources available today that was not then.

Good luck.

 

I love it. Just LOVE it. No words. Thanks for that; I'll see if Toledo has some. I could snack on that forever. Sheesh~!!

 

At least you're writing is back to normal...that's a great thing. We LOVE Kielbasi and home made kraut, also. Wife's pretty good with all that stuff, being Italian and all, haha. (The German roots are on my side.)

We have strange palettes here. Lepton is killing me right now; I have Tostitos for snack (yes I had spaghetti for supper <<< imagine that....) and I want DRIED SQUID. NOW. Ojinguh. Since Ogunjobi (and the Browns, in general) SUXXXX tonight.

Try Korean food, @x1Heavy .. when we go to Toledo in the truck, guess where we go? BEST food, no repercussions, and plenty of take out snacks... better priced than Mexican food here in Ohio... (<< Like we even HAVE any, haha!)

 

A friend of mine in the south while replacing the Atlanta Speedway Paved Parking areas on that property built a 5 gallon tray of chili.

He built the chili in the normal form and the sauce etc is pretty ordinary. Now when you get into a touch of jalapeno Peppers and added slices of oranges.... And let the while thing stew a day before serving to everyone it makes a workday go by really well.

I was not a active crew on that job. A friend of mine was taught how to drive a manual airbrake water truck to kep the dust down. To him it was mindless but completely off property And by all accounts he did well for a non CDL. (Imagine the repercussions if something did happen... event though it's private property. And probably maybe under 26000 but I doubt it. Not on a tanker that big.)
