Just trying my hand at doing some kraut tonight. Out of a cabbage from the garden. Pretty amazed I fit a whole cabbage into just one quart jar

I do loooove some sauerkraut! Have you ever tried Kimchee? It's pretty easy to make and uses Napa cabbage. It's spicy - so if you're a spicy food lover you might want to try it.

I do like spicy food! I'm a member of a group on facebook and they talk about it all the time, which is where I first even saw the word kimchee.I should look into making it sometime. Do you use it as a side dish for a meal, or just straight up?

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Mostly as a side dish or a snack. Fairly simple to make and tons of variations of recipes. It gets stronger the longer it sits and when it gets too powerful for straight eating you can make a really unique, tasty soup from it.

Read that putting the cabbage heart in the mason jar to hold everything down works good- I can confirm, it seems to work pretty darn good

Really nice garden, I recognize the hard work that went into that! I am intrigued by the scythe. I've thought about buying one, just to learn how to use one and have toyed with the idea of planting a small patch of grain of some kind. Can you tell me more about using your scythe?

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it here. There is lots of information in past posts, so if a particular subject interests you, just start reading. Feel free to ask anything you want to know, lots of friendly folks here!

Yeah as long as the blade is sharp it works great. The one I have is older and the handle tends to loosen up but other then those two things it's really a breeze. For me anyways. I see them go on Craigslist all the time fairly cheap, which is whereally I got mine

After reading that previous post, my phone spells out some whacked out stuff lol.... anyways, I'm looking for some beginners soap recipes. Looking to make solid bar soap. I've done searches, but can't rrally find a "guide" to make bar soap
