Thanks for the follow. I hope you enjoy.

I recently made a significant leap for my daughter's sake (I'm not in contact with her father.)
Knowing only his name, rough birth date and the first names of his other two children, I was able to find a bunch of his ancestors including pictures of my daughter's great-great grandparents - who, yes, share traits with her... you could see them! (I now have her 3x great grandparents as well - all but one, anyway.)

Unfortunately, I have no firsthand memory of these salads of my grandfathers. I don't remember seeing them, definitely didn't try one. As for sauerkraut, I would strongly suggest that if you have a Natural Grocers near you anywhere, to try their sauerkraut that's in the fridge section - it's a small square box with a simple label. It's not vinegary. I never thought I'd like it either - I don't like the stuff in cans, after all. But this is much gentler. You can make that quite easily... lactofermented is the key word.

Chat more later.
