I know this is old news. Everybody loves sauerkraut. But I still thought it should be mentioned.
Tonight I couldn’t decide what to do for dinner. While I was deciding, I figured I’d make a quick salad to munch on while I made plans for my more substantial, real meal. Unfortunately, I never decided on what to have for my real meal, so I had another salad, thinking two salads was sorta like a real meal. (These aren’t great salads either- the first just mixed greens with a ginger dressing, the second spinach with some almonds.) As it turns out, two mediocre salads do not a fulfilling meal make. So I opened the fridge and I decided it would be a great idea to wrap up some sauerkraut in a slice of tofurkey. And it was a good idea. So I had two of those (Tofurkey sauerkraut wraps?), but I didn’t want to eat any more tofurkey so I put the stuff away. But I was still hungry. So I had a bowl of sauerkraut with mustard on it. It was delicious, as you can imagine. It wasn’t, however, very satisfying, but two medicore salads, two tofurkey sauerkraut wraps, and a bowl of sauerkraut all combined is an okay, if totally weird meal.
That dinner made me come sit down here and do some research on my favorite thing, and I came across this website: SauerkrautRecipes.Com! A whole website featuring sauerkraut and it’s not even relegated to condiment status as it so often is. The best part? SAUERKRAUT DESSERTS!!! For real. If anyone’s interested, I’ll be serving some Sauerkraut Custard Pie for dessert tomorrow, then a Savory Reuben Cheesecake (with tofu, not corned beef, alas) on Tuesday, Thunderbolt cake on Wednesday, and Happy Hour Pie on Thursday. This is going to be a great week.
This is very hot info. I think I’ll share it on Twitter.
