I put some jalapenos in some of the jars before I can them to add some heat.

I think most people just go for the convenience factor. Until I left home I never had store bought kraut. It would be nice to be able to keep the crunch after cooking, but heat just breaks it down to much. Bigos, a Polish hunter’s meal, is a pretty hearty meal made with kraut and smoked meats. With just two of us it is a little easier to keep fresh kraut available. I did see a quick kraut recipe in case company was coming and the hostess wasn’t prepared. kyle I haven’t found any store bought that compares either.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/68302https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/68302Mon, 07 Feb 2022 00:35:41 GMTYooperDog I don’t know how anyone could ever go back to store bought after trying a good crock of fresh homemade. Even for the non kraut lovers & believe I have seen some converted. I wish we could figure out a way to retain that perfect krunchiness when processing for long storage. We are trying to keep as much as we can in the refer to retain that taste & texture.

I have some smoked Polish waiting for it. Already getting ready to start another batch, nothing better than fresh kraut.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/68164https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/68164Sun, 06 Feb 2022 03:06:20 GMTYooperDog Lots of good protein to warm you up. We have been eating some fresh homemade kraut & sausages with taters, onions, & peppers with creamed corn for several nights. Just trying to get the top of that kraut crock enjoyed after six weeks of fermenting. It is so, so, good.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67681https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67681Fri, 04 Feb 2022 01:24:30 GMTcraigrice That was 50 years ago, I imagine the price has probably gone up some, and I had to do our house for the use of the snowblower. Front driveway with parking on the side and about 4 wide at the back garage, but still worth it to me.

I remember the first time I was on assignment a long, long time ago in Michigan during heavy blizzard season. I thought I would have the place to myself with 4WD & all my gear. Heck no, it was full steam ahead on the road & all as nothing shut down. Maybe a little during the below zero weather, but not really even then. I learned quick, had no choice.

It is really strange the difference in NM and the northern states, that wouldn’t even have slowed people down up there.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67541https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67541Thu, 03 Feb 2022 02:22:12 GMTcalldoctoday oh yeah you are spot on with the morning after medicine, it is the very best and yep you either love it or are repulsed by the mere smell.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67525https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67525Thu, 03 Feb 2022 00:35:38 GMTmrobisr Now that’s some serious hang over medicine. I really like the hommed corn too. My family always liked it a lot, but Margaret’s family does not like it much at all. I guess it is another one of those love it hate it items.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67524https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67524Thu, 03 Feb 2022 00:29:35 GMTLance I make menudo which is tripe based, but I have never added it to my red beans and rice, you sure have me thinking. I normally add my homemade andouille, but I only have one package left, so maybe when I run out I’ll try the tripe, thanks for the idea.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67523https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67523Thu, 03 Feb 2022 00:25:58 GMTLance I am going to have to try that, it sounds real good with lots of protein.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67509https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67509Wed, 02 Feb 2022 23:06:05 GMTLance I would really like a bowl of that, looks delicious.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67495https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/67495Wed, 02 Feb 2022 22:04:10 GMTLance That’s a nice looking meal. I have never had tripe. Maybe I should give it a try
