I love sauerkraut too! We made about 200# of it a few years ago and are finally getting to the end of it. Most of the extended family has been getting their kraut fix from us for the past few years lol. Looks like next fall, we'll have to make another big batch
I'm such of rain and mud too. Seems like everything is either frozen or a muddy mess. It's been that way all year!
Technically, my mom is hosting Christmas dinner but she's not making everything. Every year, about a week before Christmas, my mom, her sisters, and usually me get together and all decide who is bringing what since we all just go to my mom's for the dinner (biggest house). I'm in charge of green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. My aunt is bringing had and stuffed shells, mom is doing mashed potatoes, rolls, and sweet potatoes, not sure what all my other aunt is bringing but definitely Ice cream cake since my cousin's birthday is Christmas day (it's become an after dinner tradition). There will be up to 20 of us there from about noon till in to the evening. The men will all be pretty lit by the time it's all over lol. Always a great time!
