The Auction

Matt and I went to the auction last night. we were going to get some live-stock. The only thing we bought was pie and Sauerkraut.

My favorite thing I heard was while talking the waitress at the restaurant attached to this place: fine establishment.


She said, "mmm. you like kraut. We used to make it when I was a kid. You just need a crock. but if you aint got a crock. A big bowl and a plate that fits over it right-tight will work. But you should put a rock on top. Shred that cabbage. Put lots of salt. And then pound it with your fists. It makes its own juice. then you just let it set... at least two months. yeah two months. Then you peel off the mold and eat it all fermented. It's the best."




And all along I just thought you cooked it down and canned it. Huh. I think what I was missing was the big rock.

This song reminds me of last night.
