food rave of the day: sauerkraut
Last night I cooked up a smoked sausage and served it with a saute of sauerkraut, onions, carrots and garlic (plenty of butter).
Delicious!
I like the stuff on dogs and sausages. I like the stuff on sandwiches.
And I understand that because it's fermented it has a bunch of those probiotics that are supposed to be so good for your digestion.
And cabbage is a cruciferous veg--also very good for you.
For those that don't like it really brine-y, I recommend you rinse and strain it before using it.
Let's hear your appreciation for sauerkraut!

Sent me to Germany;
My name is Fritz.
Now I eat sauerkraut,
It makes my ears stick out,
From ev'ry mountain shout,
'Let Sauerkraut Sprout!'"

But Mom and I left long ago. Every time we bring it to a Thanksgiving meal somewhere else, people look at us like we've got bugs on our eyeballs. 
baked with slices of peeled apple slices and sauerkraut. 
I think I'll make that combo while the weather is cool and rainy.
I bought some Korean Kimchee---spicy fermented Napa cabbage, garlic, green onion, hot pepper, sugar, salt, paprika, ginger.
You reminded me to eat some right now... thanks!
I wish I could make it that way. I'm hinting in case anyone knows!
