I may be a Kraut, but I'm neither little nor sour.

I don't know - that's pretty ugly with out the multiplication.

Oh dear! My Kraut is large but assuredly quite sour some days!

I think my images were a little more risqué than that. :-)

I tried making sauerkraut the other week. I searched the Internet for recipes, and finally did a sort of combination as I wasn't going to go and find 50 cabbages to shred (or the container). The most sensible sounding recipe said "be very careful measuring the salt. Level the spoon when you measure it" and in the list of ingredients it asked for "approximately 3 cups of salt". ?????

My end result really wasn't bad for a first attempt, but it was (is) a bit salty. As we are very short of water just now I don't want to use too much washing out the cabbage, and I'm also not sure if that will help. Has anyone here made sauerkraut?

Catherine, I have found that chef2chef has some of the best recipes available. Any time I have used one of their recipes, it always comes out great. Check out

and see if thatis the way your recipe reads. You can cut the recipe to any size as long asyou keep the proportions correct.George

Yup; years ago we were living in Navy housing, and I had found some nice stone crocks, while we were living in Scotland. Well, I followed instructions, IIRC I put a saucer on top of the crocks, and weighted it down. Then I left it to "age" on the floor of the pantry. Somehow Navy housing was warmer than expected, the darn things fermented, and overflowed. It took forever to get the smell of sauerkraut out of that pantry!

Since then I just bought the stuff! Much less stressful.

I wear scarves with my v-neck sweaters. I have quite a collection of them. I like the velvets and challis ones best for winter. I especially like to take the larger squares, fold them in half and put them on so the v hangs down my back. Then I flip the ends around crossing over the front so that they are in the back as well. Makes for nice and cozy, it does. It's also a good way for me to deal with black sweaters, by putting a bright color near my face.

I meant to say, fold them in half to make a triangle, but it sounds like you got that.
