Back in December 2020, I showed you how easy it is to make your own sauerkraut. I didn’t, however, discuss how to use the sauerkraut. Here are some ways to serve sauerkraut.
The most obvious, and classic way, to serve sauerkraut is as a side dish. I made a red kraut, and warmed it up with sauteed onions and apples[i]. There are onions and apples in my kraut, so using fresh apples and onions freshens it up. I served it alongside a (what else) sausage. I also added a little caraway seed and a sprinkling of blue cheese.
I also used my sauerkraut in place of fresh cabbage in a bubble and squeak. I had a little leftover pork chop, fresh rainbow carrots from my garden, onion, garlic and celery. I added leftover mashed potatoes, and the sauerkraut, and then topped it with a little cheddar cheese. I may never use fresh cabbage in a bubble and squeak again. The sauerkraut added a nice sour note and really made it better. 
Lastly, I use the sauerkraut in another classic, pierogi! I made sauerkraut, potato and cheese pierogi. Low carb people – look away. This is one of those recipes, like tamales, that I really like, but only make about once a year. They are a lot of work, but happily they freeze well. Freeze before boiling by setting them on a cookie sheet. When frozen, you can put them in a gallon Ziploc freezer bag. You can cook them from frozen, they just need to be boiled a little longer.
I made a sour cream dough, then mixed the sauerkraut with mashed potatoes and blue cheese for the filling (2 c mashed potato, 1 cup sauerkraut, ½ c blue cheese). Roll out to about 1/8th of an inch and cut into 3 inch circles. Put a little filling in each and fold over and seal. I like my pierogi to be boiled, then fried in butter until brown and crispy. The texture of crispy outside and soft inside with the filling is lovely. I serve these with fried onions and a pork chop, sausage, chicken thigh, or just a salad. (Sorry, forgot to get a picture.)
There are many more ways to use sauerkraut – sauerkraut-balls, in soups, in casseroles, and even in a cake! but these should get you started. I haven’t even touched on the reuben sandwich, which I know is a favorite of Mojeaux’s. So, here’s not an actual reuben, but a reuben casserole.
This year I plan to make both red and green sauerkraut. Are any of you making sauerkraut this year?
[i] Cooking the sauerkraut will kill the probiotics. If I serve it as just a side dish, I serve it either room temperature or gently heated.
Thanks for reminding us you showed us how to make sauerkraut. I have to reread, print, and save that article. I know it keeps for a long time but how long is it safe to store it?
Not sure, a year? As long as it stays below the brine, it’s fine. If it goes bad, you’ll know. It will smell BAD.
Thanks Tulip.
I fricking love Reuben sandwiches.
Reuben and what’s the other guy’s name?
Rachel?
No going back to previous posts
I can’t decide if that casserole looks delicious or looks ?.
My dude!
I grill my Reuben sauerkraut.
I also like hot sauerkraut with cooked sausage (Polish, Beddar Cheddar) or hot dogs.
That takes me back. There was a kosher deli near where I grew up. I would get hot dogs with sauerkraut and the kraut was really hot. It was delicious.
I too, like Reubens. I have not made my own sauerkraut though. I did assemble red jalapeño hot sauce last week per instructions.
Reubens are the best of the hot sandwich family, it is known. And with homemade Sauerkraut? Oh hell yes.
db (continuing from the deadthread) – I’m not sure what kind of broadhead I used. It was on an arrow I found by the side of the trail while I was out taking a walk, years ago. Looking at the Cabela’s website, it might have been an NAP Thunderhead. I also tried a cheap field point. Neither one made it through a Kevlar vest sample that I hung on a hay bale.
Supposedly you can drive an icepick through soft armor if it’s braced against something solid, but it takes a hell of a lot of effort.
Interesting, thanks for the information. I’ll try to see what my friend used. I didn’t see it myself, so it could be a tall tale. That’s what you get for believing everything you hear.
Sounds like it depends on the arrow head and the type of body armor.
I’m not an expert, but this guy is:
https://www.ashbybowhunting.org
I’m going to guess that the arrow/broadhead combinations he recommends for taking large, thick-skinned game (elephant, etc.) will penetrate most armor if it’s capable of breaking large bones and still penetrating multiple FEET into the animal.
A lot of that is going to be the bow.
Not according to his 30 years of research.

Notice none of the 12 factors are bow draw weight. Scroll down to “Arrow force derived from the bow” subhead.
Huh. Learned something today. Thanks.
You’re welcome. I still remember the big push for smaller, faster arrows with goofy broadheads pushed by speedy bows right after I started bow hunting around 1986. I had a couple friends jump in with both feet. They lost several animals before going back to heavier arrows and cut on contact broadheads. It was all a sales tactic. This guy’s data takes that anecdotal evidence to another level.
That’s some really good info. Thanks for sharing!
That test would be a good example of soft armor braced against something solid. I had mine hung loosely over a hay bale, which I think is a better simulation of being worn.
If anyone ever wants to do their own informal ballistic testing, http://bulletproofme.com/index.shtml is where I got my test samples.
Reubens are the best of the hot sandwich family, it is known.
You misspelled turkey with gravy, followed by pot roast with gravy open face sandwiches. And SOS (which is essentially an open faced sandwich), hot pastrami, hot corned beef. All better than a Reuben. I used to like them but the sauerkraut and cheese aren’t doing it for me anymore.
Correct. I would also make the possibly controversial addition of chili-burger. And I don’t mean the kind you pick up with your hands. There’s a truck stop here that does it open face and completely buries the burger with chili.
My first introduction was a chili burger from Dairy Queen by the beach. I don’t know when they stopped doing it but they don’t have it anymore.
I FLUUUUUVE S.O.S.
As long it’s not Navy style minced beef with tomato sauce. Not SOS.
No.
Rehydrated chipped beef with cream sauce on buttered Texas toast or GTFO.
I have gotten a lot of strange looks from servers by insisting that the sauerkraut on the Reuben should be dry. Soggy Reubens suck. But a good Reuben… get in my tummy.
Agreed. Hot and dry.
…
Any takers?
I don’t know… that sounds painful. Oh that’s right, it’s how I got my handle.
I can’t believe Grummun doxxed himself.

Dammit. And I try so hard to comment without the burr.
Plebeian me has only ever had sauerkraut as a topping on tube steaks, but I do love it. I cannot see myself actually making it from scratch, but you’ve provided a few good ideas here. Thanks!
https://youtu.be/b892Sel9Xhg
Cabbage rolls are another good use for sauerkraut. I really need to get that recipe from my mother.
Cabbage isn’t food.
Which is why it is turned into sauerkraut or coleslaw.
Really? I love raw cut cabbage. Served in a giant mound next to Tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet).
Yes!
I like cabbage cooked, fermented, or covered up with mayo, but fresh cut kind of assaults my taste senses. Can’t really explain why. Combination of texture and taste.
For me, it triggers the same gag reflex I get from all members of that family.
Salt wilted is yummy.
Also plays well with yakitori and horumonyaki.
Haluski, when the onion is nicely caramelized and the cabbage still had just a bit of crunch.
Looked that up. It looks delicious.
Maybe I’ll try making that for dinner tomorrow. Seems like you could fuck it up and it’d still be good.
One of the co-owners of the bar I call home is of Croatian lineage and every so often they offer one of his grandmothers recipes as the lunch/dinner special, Haluski or Sarma. Foolishly (and against my repeated admonitions) they most often go with run-of-the-mill Italian-American fare. Yes we need more places that sell Italian sub sammiches.
Forget pizza. Make that on the next zoom.
Hype makes shitty pizza anyways so I agree with straff. That looks good.
Yes! Hyperbole should make haluski on camera!
Oh my.
My mom would cook cabbage and some meat I can’t remember but we were poor AF so probably not corned beef. Blech.
She rocked an amazing Thanksgiving spread but everyday meals… oofa.
I thought* corned beef was cheap?
*wife does all the shopping
Yeah, maybe it was corned beef. My mind is clouded by the horrible memory of cabbage.
Last I saw, not particularly cheap actually.
Once upon a time, it was cheap.
Now it’s gone and been appropriated for its flavor.
The best bargains are to buy during the st patty’s day glut and freeze some.
It is normally $8.49 per lb. here in the Rockaways but, because of tremendous amount of Irish residents, it drops to $0.69 per lb. starting in late February.
That might be worth a trip out to score a supply for the year.
You’re not the first person to say that.
My mom would cook meatballs (made from ground pork and white bread) in sauerkraut.
As Yahweh intended.
I’ve never had a sauerkraut pierogi. I need to try that sometime.
‘I’ve never had a sauerkraut pierogi.’
Does not compute.
I don’t even know what a pierogi. Some kind of wop slop I’m guessing.
Wrong. They’re pollack potato ravioli.
I feel the potato ones are sacrilegious.
Eh, they can be filled with nigh anything. I just run into the potato ones most often because it’s a cheap filling.
You’re a regular chef-boy-herpes.
I’ve only had potato + X varieties. And they were all delicious.
Mrs. T is not doing her job getting the word out.
I know they are not the best, but they were all I could find in South TX.
I have too many pierogi options here at home. Farmers cheese and potato and cabbage are the best.
Brats and sauerkraut are about perfect together.
You forgot the bier!!!!11!!!!
Whoops! Yes, beer makes it the Trinity,
Amen to that.
I bought a super cool gun!
If I have to put down any Indians in the cupboard in an urban counterterrorism situation, I’m set.
There is a local food truck that makes deep fried Reuben balls. They are very good!
Wait, WHUUUUU?! I must see these.
https://theramblermn.com/#menu
That looks FANTASTIC!
I’ll take one of each.
The one thing I miss about the office is the array of food trucks parked out front. When I was ordered back at the beginning of the summer, the food trucks were nowhere to be found and all my favorite restaurants were shuttered.
But yeah, the left says I don’t want to go back because I’m “afraid”.
Would!
The wife makes sauerkraut, and we love it. It is very good with local brats, part of rachel or rueben, or anything else that sounds good. My favorite is a Polska with stone ground mustard and the kraut.
Oh, I forgot that it goes on one of the two types of BBQ, pulled pork.
It puts the pork on a bun with the slaw! It does this every day, or it gets the hose.
Some cheerful news
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/young-boy-goes-viral-after-shouting-lets-go-brandon-into-mic-after-announcing-start-of-race
A young boy went viral over the weekend after shouting “Let’s Go Brandon” when asked to announce the start of a NAPA Super DIRT race.
“Drivers, start your engines,” three children shouted into the microphone when asked by the announcer to “help kick this thing off” at the race at New York’s Oswego Speedway Sunday.
“Let’s go Brandon!” the boy standing in the middle added.
If anyone has a right to resent what the left has done to America, it’s someone from Oswego.
I love that this has become a thing. Even my kids are talking about it. There may be hope for humanity yet.
Back in December 2020, I showed you how easy it is to make your own sauerkraut.
Ya, and I haven’t done it yet. I suck. A well made rueben is a work of art. I can make a well made rueben.
Add a cabbage to your next Wal-Mart grocery order. You’re welcome.
OT: one week ago (but just started making rounds in American outlets this week) , aspirin is effective in treating covid.
Today, aspirin no longer recommended for heart health.
These lying fucks are transparent.
No pain or symptom management if you aren’t vaxxed. Take the full brunt of the disease you granny killer.
Meh, the “should you taker a baby aspirin a day or not” war has been going on for at least two decades, It not something they are making up just to kill people who get covid.
You now need to post two decades of NYT articles taking both sides.
No, You need to post two decades of them not doing that.
Yeah, the risk of stomach bleeding has been a potential side effect for as long as I can remember.
I can’t comment on the specifics of Trashy’s article because it’s paywalled, but if it’s in reference to this draft recommendation, it’s not a flat-out do-not-recommend:
Listen asshole. There is only one rule on this site. And that is YOU NEVER AGREE WITH THE HYPERBOLE. It is known and most of us follow it. I think you should just fall in line here and there will be no trouble.
This is the second, maybe third, time I’ve done so in the last couple weeks. I wonder if I should see a doctor…
If you give him that much power over your opinions, then he can force you into any stance he wants.
No I can’t.
Yes you can.
You mean like, THE stance? Ewww!
*taps foot across airport urinal stall*
https://media.giphy.com/media/3oD3YqPwr89pI4mnsc/giphy.gif
There is only one rule on this site. And that is YOU NEVER AGREE WITH THE HYPERBOLE.
Wait, I thought it was the reverse. I thought the rule was “The Hyperbole never agrees with you”. I’m confused.
*JK, you’re not that much of a contrarian TH. You’re cool. Unless you disagree with that statement.*
I learned that the hard way …
Were you on an aspirin regimen?
Most importantly, how are you feeling today?
She looks a little green.
It’s a seasonal ailment, comes about every fall.
I feel almost like nothing was done … because it wasn’t. They got me under, inflated me, got the camera in, and saw they couldn’t do anything laparoscopically (or even open) because of too much scar tissue. It will have to be done robotically at some later date.
I saw that it had to be delayed. (Sorry! ?) So they didn’t even poke any holes in you?
Well that sucks. Sorry to hear that, Mo.
Sorry Moj 🙁
Oh, yes, they poked all the holes and pumped me full of CO2, got the scope in, looked around, and that was that.
No, I wasn’t on a regimen. It’s my preferred painkiller.
I take a couple of ibu right before bed to try to keep my wonky shoulder from waking me up with a painful pinched nerve. I gather ibu’s getting a bit of a bad rep, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to take acetaminophen. It makes me feel clammy.
I have shoulder issues now too since I side-sleep. Hasn’t occurred to me to try pain relievers before bed. Very rarely I need a pill post-sleep but I got into that habit after surgery last year and it’s for the down-there area not my shoulders. I try to avoid the pills as much as possible. But when I partake it’s acetaminophen all the way. Ibuprofen is part of what sent me to the hospital last year.
I take Tylenol PM to get to sleep.
Now I have yet another bottle of oxy I won’t use.
Oxy was good last fall. I recall state after state declaring for Biden a few days after the election day and I couldn’t care less cause I had to take oxy after my oral surgery.
Oxy doesn’t do anything for me that aspirin, Tylenol, or ibuprofen can’t do.
Dilaudid makes me puke.
Fentanyl’s the magical stuff, but I have to be really hurting (and in the hospital) to take that.
Opioids make me puke. Ask my best friend’s wife.
JFC
Now after 35 years of a daily aspirin you tell me it isn’t safe. Damn it, I’m always the last one to get the word. Aspirin also is effective in pre-treating covid, works for me.
^ This is a study I trust.
Right?!
I used to bake pork chops in kraut then eat the chops and the crispy top of the kraut.
pork roast cooked in Kraut on new year’s. It’s a great tradition.
Repeat from the dead thread. This is just too delicious to not share.

That’s fantastic. My SIL would love that.
Ordered. Mrs. Hobbit loved it.
It really is the best way to prevent car theft now. Kids cannot drive stick.
If you can’t drive a stick, you can’t really drive.
This. And add kickstart a motorcycle to that.
With a stick shift you’re driving, with an automatic you’re just steering.
/my dad, roughly paraphrased
When I totaled my 20-y.o. manual Civic this year, I went to buy a new Civic and they weren’t even selling them in manual anymore (in the models that I was interested in, at least). When I asked about transmission options, the saleswoman referred to things as standard (meaning automatic) and manual. Times have changed.
That’s fucked up, yo. “Standard” is manual.
I was at a store a few weeks ago and one of the counter guys saw me drive up in my Tacoma, and he was very keen to talk about Tacomas (he drives one as well). I told him I love the truck and especially because Toyota is the only company that sells a truck in a manual transmission anymore. I won’t buy a car with an automatic. After that he wanted nothing to do with me, like I was some kind of freak.
Good dog!
I hope there’s video eventually, because that whole story is great stuff
Choucroute Garnie
https://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/jean-georges-vongerichtens-choucroute-garnie/
That is all.
Yes please.
Bookmarked. My grandfather made sauerkraut all the time. His family came from Bohemia. I remember crocks of it in his cellar, which we called the cave, because that’s exactly what it was.
I’m done with the fucking mask. I go shopping with it under my chin, nobody says a thing. The very barest of compliance is being unwilling to ask someone else to comply. We’re done. You’ll put masks on your children but you won’t demand I pull mine up over my mouth.
It might be because I’m super attractive, and my unmasked visage demands respect, but maybe that’s what Joan of Arc suffered for her faith and our beauty.
We don’t hate you because you’re beautiful.
I mean, I would.
And do when no-one is looking, I assume.
I haven’t worn one food-shopping for several months, since NYC said it was optional. It might be “required” again now; I have no idea. I wore one to the liquor store until a week or two ago but stopped and the guy hasn’t said a word.
If I am commanded back to the office (again) I would have to decide whether to kick it up a notch and go without on public transportation. But it is a major reason I refuse to go back to the office now.
It’s what upsets me more than blind compliance… the nonchalant obedience. Makes me think we’re thoroughly into soviet mindset
Hey, you! The other day, I realized I hadn’t seen you in a while. Nice to know you’re still as feisty as ever.
I’m still not sure who or what your avatar is. Ages ago, mom had up a painting we called the green lady, and it reminds me of that. It was a woman painted in a sea-green or maybe turquoise color, but it seemed like a geisha, or maybe that’s just how I interpreted it.
Malificent. I use this avatar in October.

And Dipshit just extended the mask mandate.

I drive all over the state. I’m tired of trying to guess how much a random establishment is going to care if I wear a mask or not. Signs on the door are meaningless. Location is mostly meaningless. Add to that I’m on my employer’s time and (nominally) both representing them and liable to my employer’s policies.

Request for help from Glib accountants and small business owners: I’ve seen two conflicting articles about Quickbooks Desktop. Is it still possible to get the standalone license version through an authorized reseller, or has it officially become subscription-only with the 2022 version?
I’m still using a 2015 version.
Hence their switch to a subscription model…
I tried it, as a small business owner, and I ended up just keeping my own books. It wasn’t too hard for what I did, advertising, but I can see it being hard for some sort of retail. But I thought QuickBooks desktop sucked. And as far as I know, it was subscription only. Like pretty much every other bit of software these days.
2015 isn’t subscription based, but I think the newer versions are. I agree it sucks, I basically just use it for a client database and to summon up the numbers my accountant needs.
I used Access for the Db, as the only other thing it is good for is printing labels. I used my CC for everything I paid for, and my business bank account worked great for what I was paid.
KISS. Most people create more problems than solve them.
You’d be surprised how far Access can carry you in business. I was still maintaining multi-user shit I wrote in the late 90s almost 20 years later.
OTOH it was a gigantic headache and I would never, ever consider using it for another project again, but….
Mornin’. Been a while since my DBA daze, does Access still have the 2GB size limitation? I have fond memories of provisioning an MSSQL instance for a user who had installed some accounting package with an Access back end because MSSQL required a (paid) license. When he hit the limit about a year later, all hell broke loose. Provisioning the instance was no big deal, but getting the data out of Access was another story.
It did when I stopped using it in the late 00’s.
I can’t slam it too much. I leaned how to SQL on it and I suppose it’s decent for a small company. But my company outgrew it eventually.
No real experience with Quickbooks. I used Wave, which was free and it worked fine. Some functions are paid, like payments and payroll. I was the lone employee and didn’t take electronic payments, so I never needed that.
https://www.waveapps.com/
My understanding is that the new desktop version will require a subscription and support for older versions will expire in a year or two. If all you use it for is bookkeeping then you can get by with an older version for a while. If you use QB as a payroll processor then you may be screwed. Note that the subscription fee isn’t that high.
I don’t consider $350/year to be that low, either. Of course, I’m sort of a tight ass.
We got the desktop version and it seems if you want anything beyond the basic bookkeeping, they push those as subscription addons.
I don’t know. FWIW, I went with their subscription plan 2 or 3 years ago and have been happy with it.
See if you can find an older edition of Postbooks. It was an open source alternative that you could customize through scripting.
The developer switched to a different business model a couple of years ago and stopped offering updates to the freeware version, but it was a quite capable package at the time.

It’s good on basically any taco that already has meat on it. Not that different than pickled onions. Start small, increase to taste.
From the dead thread. I already knew my coworker was not to be trusted. That’s why when he asked who XYZ was, I hedged on a name or confirmation that it was really him. I get that my company has a (idiotic) mask mandate. Just go up to the person and say something. Instead my coworker asshole wants to send an email and put several layers of management chain on it.
The guys a kid and seems to be a prime example of not enough bullying in childhood. He desperately needs an ass whooping in the parking lot after work as was the occasion back in the day for an antisocial POS.
So speaking of caramelized onions, I’m upset that I was introduced to French’s caramelized fried onions flavor, and then they discontinued it. Why does everything *I* like have to be discontinued? I mean, they already replaced lime Skittles with green apple. ? Don’t know what I did to anger the crap food gods. Also, they canceled Dead Like Me.
I hate green apple.
/fistbump
And they replaced lime Starburst with cherry. ?
*gasp* They did NOT! Really?! ?
Yeah, when we were like eight years old.
To be fair, I don’t eat that shit any more but still.
I don’t recall lime ever being in a Starburst package. I think I might prefer it to the crappy cherry,
I vaguely remember, but Starburst has never been my drug of choice.
IIRC it was originally in a white package, with lime.
Sometime in the very late 70s the package became yellow and lime became cherry.
Thank heavens for fruit tootsie rolls.
I used to group and sort them so that I ate my favorite (strawberry) last in each batch of four.
Pretty sure I did the same with green M&Ms.
This explains so much about me.
I used to do that with jelly beans.
What Mojeaux said! (wipes back a tear in remembrance of Coconut Yoo Hoo)
I used to get my groceries from Meijer due to it being very close to my apartment, but then I moved to a different apartment and switched to Kroger. A few months later, I went back to Meijer for some items that they only had there (a certain kind of hair pomade, blackcurrant jam, etc.) but they were all gone. I seriously think I was the only one buying them, and when I stopped shopping there they stopped carrying them.
Well shit. RIP

Good read Tulip! I love some kraut myself. Henstenberg brand is my go-to, but I’ll have to try again at making my own (I attempted it many years ago when I was inexperienced with cooking, but it did not come out right).
This could be particularly useful since recent economic and political events might make it necessary to rely on ourselves a hell of a lot more. Food production is a big one. Some very poor people can still manage to plant cabbages, shred them, and ferment them in jars.

I slept in yesterday, so I got up around midnight. Ive been drinking beer, doing laundry and cleaning-up the Palatial 2X-Wide in anticipation of Jugsy’s triumphant arrival tomorrow to Chez Tres.
She gets Shot #2 (the one with the nanoparticles) on Saturday, so in anticipation of feeling unwell, she took time off next week.
Well, at least Jugsy will be wrapped in loving arms as she copes with her new inoculation/indoctrination.
Yeah. Her boxer-doge, The Dozer.
I gotta work the next 4 nights.
Doggo will keep her warm for ya!
Hello and good morning, Glibs.
I’m not a fan of ze kraut. I just don’t like the smell, and I don’t really get the big deal about the taste ?♂️
Meh. Maybe I haven’t had the right kraut experience. It seems like more of a meat-exclusive side dish so perhaps I’m missing the point.
I remember liking kimchee.
As Ive grown older and my palate has refined, I can appreciate kraut and sausage. Ideally on a (low-carb) bun while Im watching football and drinking beer.
Kimchee is something I dont mind either, but Ive never felt compelled to eat it often.
Maybe I’ll come around to it.
You don’t like the smell of sauerkraut, but kimchee is okay?
The kimchee I remember is that served to me in Korean restaurants, whereas the sauerkraut I remember has been homemade.
We had a guy who insisted on eating kimchee from a jar, in our work area. He was ordered not to. Live your glory days of Korea at home, air-man.
DING!
Hubba-Hubba-Hayek’s moving experience made me think of something…
“My ex-wife wasnt much of a wrestler. But man, you shoulda seen her box!”
TAH-DAH!
/ex Ms Tres was, in her time not spent as HS english teacher, an amateur boxer
Wah-wah!
On topic:
My dear mother passed down her sauerkraut side dish recipe to my wife the first time she came to visit us. For two almost two decades, no one in the family would eat it but me. This made me sad because whenever I bring a batch to work, it gets inhaled like crack. People would ask me for the recipe, but I don’t have it. My wife does. Finally, my son has come to like it. My wife says she will try making a batch sans bacon for my daughter to try. The funny thing is, it’s not that complicated. My wife showed me her “secret” recipe card files from my mom. We both laugh at one of the ingredients my mom wrote. WTF is “good water”?
I got so used to drinkable water coming right out of the tap (faucet) that the first time I went to Italy I completely forgot the advice about not drinking the tap water in that particular building/area l, and downed a whole glass before I remembered. As it happens I was totally fine.
I imagine the suitability for kraut will have a lot to do with pH and hardness??
pH and hardness??
That seems logical. i don’t know why my wife never asked her. For us good water is filtered and cold from the fridge.
Yeah, the stuff coming out of my mom’s tap after they moved to the country was definitely not “good” water. Every time you made coffee or took a shower the smell of rotten eggs filled the double-wide.
My grandmother had a chocolate cake recipe (handed to my Father) that calls for ‘scalded milk’. Its essentially the same thing on the back of the Hershey’s cocoa can, but old enough (or country enough) that pasteurization wasn’t yet ‘de rigueur’.
“Low carb people – look away.”
I feel othered. ?
/hugs Sean
*looks at low carb beer list on the internet* Blech.
Get a room you man-touchers!

That’s tall.
“A 24-year-old Turkish woman who stands 7 feet, 0.7 inches tall has been confirmed as the world’s tallest living woman by Guinness World Records.”
/adds her to bucket-list
Weaver syndrome. Never heard of it before! I had assumed Marfan’s.
Poor thing will probably die young. Live it up, lady! And get the fuck out of Turkey to do so.
Poor thing will probably die young
My first thought. 🙁
Also, I would hate to be famous for something I had no control or responsibility for.
After reading up, it seems lifespan is normal, but not necessarily fun.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaver_syndrome
Well that’s good, at least.
But Wiki:
Wut?
Maybe it’s a new syndrome?
It hard to tell from other photos. The key thing seems to be abnormal growth in many parts of the body. Maybe excessive height is not the primary issue. I dunno.
“With appropriate treatment and management”
Doubtful she got or will get that in Turkey.

Wheeeeeee!
Damn.
Tuesday night I told my spouse that I was not taking that giant pot bud that he had been given by a “friend” across state lines.
His solution was to EAT it. Not smoke it, but to eat it.
So here we are 24 hours later. He still reeks of it. Sweat, saliva, pee, poop—- it just exudes from him. I have never been so unattracted to him. I just want to throw him in the brig for a few days to detox.
The fact that I had to do all the useful work Wednesday for the pack and ship didn’t help.
Okay, I am done with my martyrdom now. As you were.
I was going to ask, but I thought better not.
Since, you’re here, I wanted to thank you for the diorama gift idea from It-lee. I’m not sure if you saw my post about it.
Anyway, I thought it was going to have to be a Christmas gift instead of a birthday one, but it arrived already.
Eating it gives a longer lasting buzz and really allows you to stretch your weed dollar. Good on him for being frugal I say.
Im wondering why she’s smelling his p00p. I thought she was norse, not german.
Dood, it’s a hotel room. No barriers on scents.
He done that on purpose.
For Hayek et al, je te presente The Dozer.
Thats the face only a hooker could love, and quite a sight 1st thing in the morning/evening before work.
Good doggo!
Good morning, homey and assembled severaltude!
I think he’s telling you to pick up your dirty clothes.
In my defense, that pile (which is gone) was primarily Jugsy’s clothes and a stack of pillows.
*objects in mirror may seem messier than they are
I love that your old PT t-shirt is still in rotation. Mine would be but it was among some of my favorite items that got stolen from a laundromat.
I love that you assholes scour the background for details to nit-pick at. Which is exactly what I do, too.
Thats not my OG pt shirt- Its like the 3rd one Ive picked up off ebay or something. Im proud of my service, my branch, and grey suits me. Matches my hair.
Because of course that had to happen. I’ve had bags of trash stolen from the bed of my truck.
Mornin’ all. Nice doggie, would not want to piss him off.
Morning, Glibs.
I know my adventures with plastic crack are not the most interesting topic of conversation, but this is more of a story of not giving up, and of choosing to rise to the challenge presented.
One miniature I bought while in Texas at a convention (remember those things) years ago always daunted me. I’d take one look at the riot of details and balk. “It’s too much” I’d say “Too hard to paint”. It was a problem exacerbated by the first time I tried to paint it before despairing. The primer coat was spotty, and the cape was sloppily done. Luckily I had stopped that attempt after the cape in despair. I say luckily because it means I hadn’t gotten anything gumming up the fine detail areas during that attempt.
Yesterday, I dusted it off (Literally) and said “I am not only going to paint this bastard, but I am going to do my darndest to make it as close to masterpiece quality as I can. I am not going to be beaten by a one and a half inch tall piece of plastic.
So far I’ve used twelve different paints in getting this thing to look right (and some areas are already looking gorgeous), with at least five more needed to finish the job. Now, I’m no Golden Demon grade painter, but I’m just happy to have not given up and will have gotten something accomplished.
Bravo! Post pics when done?
I did that with a knitting project once. Set it aside for years after not understanding how to make a fancy stitch. Finally picked it up again and got quite a magnificent sweater out of it, if I do say so myself. (Sadly, it’s acrylic yarn, and hot as hell to wear, so it doesn’t get out much.)
I pretty much have to since I told everyone about it.
I’m only a third of the way done at best. I deliberately left the pauldrons for later, and haven’t finished the detail on the torso. The head’s done, and I even got the eyes.
Good on ya.
Carpe figurine.

That’s the spirit! Kick its ass, UnC.

Murphy’s internal polling must be a concern. He’s running against an unknown in a deep blue state, yet the donkeys need to break out the heavy artillery?
I’d like nothing more than to see that grifting family die in a car wreck caused by Joe Biden in his Trans-Am.
Sorry, pretty dark but I’m in a dark frame of mind today. I’ll try to build back better.
“I’ll try to build back better.”
How about they all die of Breakthrough infections? There, that’s better.
Another NBA star goes off the reservation. What are they feeding these guys?

““(Irving) was willing to sacrifice, at the end of the day, $16 million in salary this upcoming year and $186 million as far as an extension that he will not be offered now.””
“This is my life. I get to do whatever I want with this, this is one body that I get here. And you are telling me what to do with my body. … This has everything to do with what is going on in our world. And I am being grouped into something that is bigger than just the game of basketball. … It is not about being anti-vax or about being on one side or the other. It is just really about being true to what feels good for me. … I know the consequences of the decisions that I make with my life.”
He probably won’t need a GoFundMe, but still…
I would love to have ‘fuck you’ money.
The state released the test part of the “vax or test” policy. Looks like they have to foot the bill, and they actually acknowledged the existence of medical and religious objectors.
But they left out two key items – what happens if you get a positive, and what happens if you simply don’t comply whatsoever.
Sauerkraut is easy. Ceramic pot, layer the cabbage with salt, punch down as needed, skim the scum off the top. You can keep it quite safely in mason jars using the cold bath method. We still have some from years ago.
Rueben sammies with horseradish mustard are the food of the Gods.
Never tried one with horseradish mustard. I feel like it would be really really tasty. But doesn’t a true Reuben require Thousand Island dressing?
I’m not a big fan of Thousand Island so this replacement sounds wonderful to me.
Russian, but 1,000 Island is close enough.
So the Feds blinked when their largest union told them to go fuck themselves regarding mandates. I’m not of their cohort but adjacent. Makes me happy!
My company remains silent on the issue.
“What to do with Sauerkraut”
Sell it and use the proceeds to buy kimchi.
