Gratitude for this MAC group: Finding Gratitude Daily
All harnessed for another bumpy half-hour on my trusty nag. Though I don’t post a lot I never fail to think of all the good helpful people who are the backbone of this forum while I’m getting churned. Stay safe and spread joy. Don

Jake. Jog my sluggish memory. What recipe did I send to you?
Crepass, you’re bound to be one of the few persons on the planet who can honestly report being “thrilled” to stumble onto a article about sputum. Isn’t daily life a hoot?! Don

2 ReactionsNot to step on Thumperguys toes, but it is probably his kraut or kimchi recipe. I lost the kimchi recipe. So would like a repeat post if possible. thanks.
The current batch is 2 heads green cabbage, 3 rather large chopped green onions with tops, red Bell Pepper cut to small pieces, perhaps a third of a cup.
Process cabbage to approx. consistency of Cole Slaw. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add 1-2 tbls. Course Sea salt (mine happened to be ALESSI brand. Morton’s Course Kosher works equally well.
Knead the mixture and be fascinated as, with a little help from you, chemical magic unfolds, soon yielding a soggy mass (not mess). Mix in a tablespoon of Paprika and a sprinkle or two of powdered Cayenne pepper (to taste), and some Caraway seeds. Let it rest for a few minutes then spoon into quart Mason jars, compressing the mixture as you go. I usually stuff a leftover cabbage leaf into the jar to top off the mixture but this isn’t crucial. Cap loosely and set aside out of direct sunlight. After a week I transfer to the fridge and soon begin to cheat by taking a smidgin’ a bit early, though I understand that it continues to be active, but at a slower pace I’d guess. Don
