You like homemade sauerkraut? With Brussels sprouts?


You guys, I just did an horrible thing. AN HORRIBLE, terrible thing. I chopped up two heads of cabbage, relentlessly. I did not relent. Chopped them right up and just sprinkled the hell out of those chopped up pieces with salt. Just all the eff over. Then I packed it. Yes I did! I packed it all into a cold, salted crock. Packed a layer of cabbage, a layer of Brussels sprouts, a layer of… well, you get the picture.

The thing is, I packed all those salted vegetables into a crock so I could just let them all spoil. It so happens to be the method in which I am known to roll. I pressed it all down; tamped, if you will. I even put a heavy weight on top! I covered the lot with some cheesecloth to keep out company, and now I will wait. Waiting for The Spoilage to happen. Waiting for the salty brine to cover the cabbage and Brussels sprouts, trapping them in an Anaerobic Prison.

You are waiting as well. I have made a list of those of you who have specifically asked me for some kraut. You are on there. So are you. Let me know in the comments, if you, too, would like some in about 3-4 weeks. Let me know, and you can partake in AN HORRIBLE DEED!
