THE KRAUT IS IN THE CROCK!!!



GOSH----Been awhile---must have been busy round here, of course it has! Those beautiful heads of cabbage that 'where' in the garden, (remember------ only pots., cabbage and onions where doing well), most of those cabbage heads got chopped up and put in the crock with salt, put in a cool place and in about 4 weeks, or so, will become SAUERKRAUT!!! Got smart this year and took everything outside under a shade tree and let the cabbage FLY, as we chopped. Didn't have to worry about it flying around the kitchen!!! Then, when we where done, just took the hose and hosed everything down!!! QUICK -N- EASY!---------Looks like we may have around 10 lbs. and there's more cabbage heads out yonder! Did get to harvest 1 red tomato, sliced it on a bed of home-grown lettuce, topped it with a slice of home-made goat cheese that was dipped in eggs (farm-fresh, of course) panko bread crumbs (store bought) fried; drizzled with some special dressing---can't even remember what else was served for dinner! Can't wait for the next ripe tomato----probably won't have one until the kraut is done!!!
