I love both sauerkraut and red cabbage, but the onions get a "Jury is still out" response and jalapenos is a hard NO.
The daytrip today was a delight, we almost had the whole mountain to ourselves once past Big Bear Lake. 21 miles of dirt road, and we met exactly two Jeeps, one of which was a USFS patrol unit. Two camp grounds along the way, both had about 10% occupancy. Weekdays are nice.
No jackrabbits, coyotes, or ground squirrels shot at. The first two types were out to lunch, the G/Ss were only seen within the campgrounds. Rotten rats know where they are safe. I was a mite surprised to see them still out and about, but there is no accounting for what a dirt-dwelling rat is likely to do. I had a gleam in my eye and malice in my heart, but no varmints were educated today.

Just a small tug, Bill.
Texans and jalepenos must be like Italians and pasta. I'm only half -- father's side -- but love my pasta. The amount would bother my doc, but he's Italian too.
Back in the mid-80s after the shop closed three of us would kill a six-pack and a jar of jalepenos.

Baseball bat......I have never made saurkraut, so no idea about it. Packing it down into the
vessel with the end?
...SNIP
Watch Lisa, from 3:30 to 4:30
What she calls messaging (with her hands), I call mashing (with the end of the baseball bat).

Yep, waaaaayyy more sophisticated than me. I learned from an old Czech who learned from his mother who immigrated from the old country: chop coarsely, layer about an inch, layer with salt in an enameled crock, repeat until nearly full, put a boiled stone just small enough to fit inside on top, cover with dishrag, put in dusty shed, eat it all winter. Hold nose while eating!

You're doing it wrong. Put on hook, throw in lake, catch real food 
Actually, I'm a sucker for a Shaggy Dog roll on occasion, so I get it, just no seaweed or raw fish eggs for me, please. Raw tuna is good, but I've only eaten it once and that was right after it was caught, killed, sliced, and rinsed in sea water.

Raw fish is bait.
The only raw seafood I like is conch strips marnaded in lemon juice, if you caught it yourself that
same day in the Bahamas. Now THAT is actually great.
So I guessed kinda close on the baseball bat. Liking jalapenos on everything is fine, but you must know
that some folks won't like it. Of course, my brother puts tabasco on damn near everything, too. He learned
that after he left home. I like a bit of tabasco as a seasoning, for a bit of bite and a touch of flavor, but
not as the primary flavor on half of all things, like slathered on a balogna sandwich. But, he does what he
wants with his food, so fine with me. One of his daughters has picked up on a bit of that, too.

Take it from me, don't make sushi rolls. Throw it all in a bowl, add a little soy sauce and eat it that way. In Japan this is called home-style sushi.
EDIT: Don't forget the wasabi.

"It's not about rights or politics"..... "it's about the children"
That's what one local TV channel is running as their advertising,watch us.... not those other 2 channels.
Now,we can stop with any further talk of this from "that" perspective. My 9 y.o. grand daughter is here for the yearly,late summer hang with me and wifey. So we're on a mission to learn about guns a little more. Took her to a very old gun shop yesterday...... she loved looking at their,pretty durn good selection of "youth models". Heck,I was seriously impressed.
This store still has the racks,in aisles.... not the kind where they're up on a wall. Can't say I even saw any AR's.... not that there's anything wrong with that,haha. Just that they had bunches of lever actions and just a nice variety. The older,long white bearded guy behind the counter was working on an original..... I think they're called Trapdoor Springfield? 1873 model..... I asked the date,and Ruby was very impressed. Then we found the "sidearms" of the period to go along with it. There was an 1858 Remington and several Colt repros. She also liked the $$ snubby revolver section,picking one out for each of her cousins which I thought was special.
VERY fun trip. Going to another gunshop today.

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
Those of us living in Free America, don't need no stinking "inspection sticker".
I don't know how many states have this BS, but Fla had it for about a decade, and they did it RIGHT,
a state inspection station which just inspected brakes, lights and ball joints - actually interested in
safety, not roping somebody into more work, like when a repair shop does "inspections". After a
decade of not finding much and zero detectable change in accident rate in the state, they shocked
me a lot by shutting down the program, selling off all the buildings and forgetting the whole dumb
exercise. KS has no inspection, never has. If you move in from out of state, they inspect the VIN to
see that it matches your paperwork, and that is the end of the government screwing around with
YOUR car.
Last time I checked Va had six month inspections, what a gold mine for crooked repair shops.
Bill
Here in the land of snow and ice (SALTED ROADS!!!) if it weren't for the annual inspection I'm pretty sure 2-3% of the cars on the road would literally have the frame, or what passes for a frame, break in half every year. 20% of the cars you met would be on bald tires with no real brakes to speak of. Just as farmers in other parts of the nation actually wash their tractors and garage them (yeah, a surprise for me too!), what would fly in one area doesn't necessarily mean things would be the same elsewhere. Emissions are a whole 'nuther thing and just a money making scheme.

It looks like we're getting back into haying weather. Of course I'm still fighting the weather liars. Yesterday AM the forecast was 80% chance of rain, less than 1/4". I watched the beeze come up while I put a loft bed together. The clouds were swept away after some time.although the barometer fell slightly. The sun shined and the wind blew all day and well into the evening. I checked the same weather outlet at 3PM- 0% chance of rain! If we can get through Wednesday, we should have a good stretch of haying weather.
Finished off my day with George Raft, Humphery Bogart, Ann Sheridan and Ida Lupino in 'They Drive by Night". Gordy thought it was a good movie, the boy may turn out ok!!!!

that's the one where Bogey looses an arm, and is more a secondary player to his brother.
it also has that super skinny chick with the real pretty face [that over acts just a bit too much] that kills her husband.
think I seen that.
yeah..
our fist mistake was in getting seaweed from china.
which however turned out to work real well for pulling the rolls down super tight so they would stay together properly.
sticky sushi rice is not under exaggerated, there is a reason they put the word sticky at the beginning.
the G-boy thought that was the greatest thing he had ever seen and must have ate 2 cups of the stuff after eating his own dinner.
oh a tip.
gluten free soy sauce sucks.
it hits you as a sweet flavor at first then rolls off bitter at the end.
it doesn't have the proper salty overtone with the right slight sour undertones to it.

yeah,, we had that debate.
it seems both me and littlegirl prefer wasabi to regular horseradish.
I'm half tempted to try finding some seeds and trying to grow it here.
I have almost decided to finish the lower walk through garden in nothing but perennials except for maybe one 16' long section.
once the other two cold boxes and the key hole garden is built in the upper section that will be more than enough vegetables.[plus it will eliminate another full 10' X 100' of lawn]
heck we got more than enough of what we get now.
I think that full changeover will just make things easier to tend to with mulch and the water system out there now.
