6. Sauerkraut. Home made. Mashed potatoes. Shredded the cabbage in a 10 gallon crock a month ago.

Shred it, add salt, beat it down, repeat. Wait for it to ferment. Made 34 quarts and canned them yesterday.
Cabbage cutter is close to 100 years old. Turned out great. Will give some away and the rest will last at least two years.
Does anyone else do this?

8. Yes!

We put up sauerkraut this year. I like to sweeten it with fresh grated carrot when I serve it.

9. I put some apples in for flavor but take them out before eating.

Thanks for the reply.

10. 12-gallon crock

I had to look that up because I couldn't imagine what a 12-gallon crock would look like. In the process of doing so, I was surprised to see what a 12-gallon crock would cost if one were to buy one: about $150! And some way more!

I haven't done sauerkraut but I tried to do kimchi and failed because I gobbled up the big cabbage head when I did other recipes. I still want to do it but will have to get a new Napa.

The RG bought some beautiful fermentation seal jars so I thought I would use them to ferment green tomatoes. Here's the recipe I'm using.

Yummm, I would love to try your sauerkraut.

7. Creamy

turkey vegetable soup with ciabatta rolls.

We're both nursing colds, so it felt like a soup night.

11. Weeknight vegetarian

It was really good. My weeknight chef (son) said it was fairly easy. He's been cooking long enough that I think he's "getting into the Zen of chopping vegetables"

deep-fried mac & cheese bites
