It seems so simple when you say it.

 

I wish I would have thought of that. But I guess I'm not a simple.

 

LMAO...
or buy a German car.
It's almost as tangy as eating your Grandma's Kraut every day.

 

But does it make your guts well?

 

If you’re into that sort of dirty cucking

 

Toxic.

 

You know something funny I used to avoid that shit on my polish sausage as a kid...nothing but mustand and catsup for me...
but now, I would load that shit up. Funny how tastes change as you get older.

 

I miss polish sausages at costco

 

I wasn't a huge fan of sauerkraut until earlier this year. There's a german-ish place we go to and my wife gets their kraut. They cook it up with mushrooms and bacon and it's pretty killer. Sidetrack to earlier this pandemic, when everyone started doing sourdough, I eventually bit in and made some starter which was cool and all, but really what tickled my nerd pickle was the fermentation process. So I started researching more and decided to try making some kraut since it's a next logical step.

And after the first batch, I'm hooked. Mine comes out crunchier than most store bought and had a killer sour bite that, frankly, is probably off-putting to a lot of people. It's like, really aggressive. I'm still playing with the salt levels to get it dialed in because if anything, it's a little too briny right now.

I cooked up some polish sausage with onions and peppers last night (and some homemade freedom fries) and man, mixing all that up with the kraut... chefkisshisownfingersdotgif

 

The wife thought I was a fucking idiot for making it with red cabbage. Almost 2 months ago, I made some fish tacos and had her get a red cabbage to garnish them, and of course she buys this giant mammoth of a cabbage when I needed hardly any. Rather than waste the rest of it, I chopped it up and jarred it to ferment. Wasn't sure how it'd turn out, but I like it better than the green. Not sure why places don't use it more often.

 

i love kraut

 

Wasn't that a Christina song or something?

 

Funny you mention that, my Mother used to pickle her own cucumbers when I was a kid...
I used to LOVE them over the store bought shit that was not as crisp. Lately all the kids at home
have a thing for these artsy looking dill pickles too...maybe I'll try doing that. My Dad has a starter he's
had going for 15 years...uses it to make the bread for Thanksgiving grace every year...the pungent
saurkraut you've come up with sounds fucking awesome and as a rule I love the tang and bite of
anything acidic or vinegarry...and I love red cabbage over regular...something about the color makes it
feel like it holds the flavor of the slaw or whatever you douse it in more.

 

I did pickles a long while back. But it felt weird buying cucumbers at the store. So I started down growing cucumbers to make some pickles from start to finish, but they didn't come out good. They were sort of bitter yet flavorless and had way too much rind. I was looking forward to it too, because there's something about homemade that just beats everything else. Probably because it's not made for the 50th percentile consumer so you can make it as sweet/sour/spicy as you want. That and the secret ingredient is "love".

 

You should do it, DeerMeat. Get a jar and put your pickle in it.

 

lmao, dude, you trying to make it so i have to register at my next neighborhood I move to?

 

try persian cukes.

 

I will order some seeds for next season and give it a shot.

 

Ever since i found those tiny guys, I've stopped buying American or the bigger varietals. Persian cucumbers are smaller and way crisper and great for quick pickling as well. Make great bread n butter style as well.

 

might be TMI; but I've been battling a case of pinworm(roundworm) infestation.

holy fuckin shit, my stomach is getting torn up on a nightly basis.

tried natural remedies first; eating raw garlic everyday and every night. along with bitter melon or bitter gourd.
Tried kombucha and kiefer (probiotic yogurt milk) but this made my stomach worse.
the garlic and bitter melon is the best so far, but still hasnt removed the worms from my poop.

today; got some OTC Pinworm medicine called Reese's. hopefully they fuckin die.

along with washing my clothes and sheets every day.
fuck pinworms

 

ouchh.. did you find the source of roundworm?




Since we're all sharing with the class...
Been getting more acid reflux/GERD symptoms over the last few months, probably stress-induced but have had to watch what I eat to keep it in control

 

same, I'm taking some shit every day to keep my reflux in check...cost me a ton of cash to have an endo done to tell me i have reflux level 1.
thanks captain obvious...I know that that's why I'm here.

 

and I think I now know why I don't have pinworms! I eat that shit often!

 

...and the thread pivots to "old man bs and general cloud yelling".

 

keel them all with fire, justin...fuckin gut problems are the worst!
and your girl loves you through all that, she's a keeper!

 

Careful, I think eating shit is how you can get it.

 

how'd you figure it out? trying to find a lost key in your stool? or itchy (mud) but or just lost a ton of weight and not even doing coke?

 

Crabman probably just didn't wash his vegetables well enough. or something.

 

 

LMAO, I eat ass on the reglar too and I ain't got no fishing lures out mah butt.

 

Well, obviously whatever ass you're eating needs to have The Sin. So...

Oh, Crabman...

 

all up in dem leaky gutz

 

started with constipation for a week.
I'm super regular, I eat veggies everyday....so I knew something was up when I couldnt pass
after the initial week, I thought I was fine...day time, no hurt no pain.
every fucking night tho; my stomach would just tear me up, man. but then the day time, I'm fine.
finally got to researching which led me to look at my stool. sure enough little white thread like things in the stool.

I'm using COBRA insurance and I paid late, so of course my insurance lapsed. and every single doctor I called either didnt want to see me (symptoms too close to COVID) or they were booked for two weeks.

"oh you got watery poop like diarrhea? we cant see you"

you might be on to something, I grow lady fingers or Okra in the back yard garden. perhaps I didnt cook them well enough to kill any rat poop that was on there.

 

and yes, im skinnier because I havent been eating. stomach feels bloated all the time and full. so I dont eat. which leads to weight loss

 

Damn dude. You need that new jerb stat. Get that good-good insurance and get some rich people drugs to clear that up.

 

Poor Richards.



Poor Tobey.

 

I went to get a flu shot and the pharmacist was like, you know this shit lapsed right?
I was like uhhhh....I hope not, I just paid.

she said she'll charge it CIGNA anyway so that they can see it and either bill me or take care of it.

 

I've always been halfass about washing produce. Like, I'd just peel the sticker and rub an apple on my pants and call it good. But the wife is more, uh, adamant, about cleaning stuff before eating. So we discussed it and compromised, and now I wash everything before eating. I was washing some strawberries the other day and a little worm thing came out. Looked like a miniature caterpillar. So I'm a little more cautious now.

I guess it's not just a myth.

 

Yeah, wash your produce.

The only produce I don't wash are mushrooms as we're supposed to brush them but even sometimes, I just throw them into the strainer for a rinse. If I want extra protein in my produce, it'll be on my terms.

 

Mushrooms I go extra thorough on. I'll rub down each and every mushroom tip until it's squeaky clean. Then trim off the very tip of the stem end that was in the poopdirt.
