Heiko's Sauerkraut

Let's start  out and say, this is NOT my recipe, but a friend's, who is into fermenting EVERYTHING....here is his fermentation blog:

And I just loved this yummy crunchy sauerkraut (and I hate sauerkraut)...simple, simple simple.  

Sauerkraut

Posted on September 22, 2012

On 9/22/2012 I made a batch of Sauerkraut, chopping 5 heads of cabbage up in pieces, sprinkling a bit of salt on each layer, then tightly packing everything into a fermentation bucket. I covered it with a dining plate and weighted it down with a gallon jug to squeeze the juices out so it would be submerged in a salt brine. After about 10 days I tried the first kraut it and it turned out crunchy, slightly salty and very tasty. Since then we’ve been nibbling on this and it’s evolving nicely.

I’d call this fermentation experiment a success 

New Food Blog

Hello World,
This is my first Blog.  I figured I'd make it about something that has to occur everyday (i.e. eating), so I'd be sure to have a bit of something talk about. So, I struggled with the name to start, and realized that it just didn't have to be so hard.  Instead of making it small & niche (locality, restaurants only, etc), I figured, I'd allow for all sorts of possibilities.  First of all, I love food.  So, why not allow blogging about all sorts of food--whether restaurant fare, or home cooked fare (I love to cook) or food truck!  In addition, I travel a fair bit, and though I had at first thought to only base this on my current locality (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill), I decided to allow flexibility there, as well!

So, a few things, I am gluten intolerant, and I'll mention this in my blogs, but realistically, food is food.  So, I hope this works out for all folks out there!

More to come!
