Having dogs can be a lot of work! How is the poodle doing? Did he learn to potty outside?

Finally just chews anything he can.

Got my stitches out today. Only the swelling is causing issues. I was getting caught on the fridge, oven, gallon of water, other handles. Not anymore. I can type again now, too. Was a bit painful as stitches restricted my stretch in my palm but could do it just fine

Best to him. Dad had that done a couple years ago. He had a huge one

I let my red cabbage sauerkraut ferment 27 days, about a week longer than my last batches. I ended up with 3 and a half packed pints of kraut with enough juice left to fill up all 4 jars. And about a 1/2 cup to drink for breakfast, LOL.

And I'm thawing a 1/2 gallon of milk that will be converted into yogurt later today. Fermentation is fun!

That looks great! You're a brave soul. I don't think I'm up to the fermenting thing. One bad experience with that did me in. It's like cracking into one bad egg.

I actually do not ferment either I know what Grandma did.
That was a long time ago.
Red cabbage makes slaw here.

I used to make 5 gallon buckets of sauerkraut. Just froze in containers to keep, and I think it may have preserved the probiotics. Can't say I can prove that, though. The trick for that amount is to stir it every day, so the top doesn't get funky. Today I'll be fermenting my sourdough bread in the refrigerator so it gets more sour. Love me some Kim chee. Anyone else?
