One thing that seems to be happening during these Strange Days -- going back in time. People are making sourdough, growing gardens for maybe the first time in many years. Today, I tried making sauerkraut.
One large-ish head of cabbage and 4 Tbsp of sea salt, shredded and massaged loosely, fills two quart jars. Weighted down with heavy glass weights and covered with special mason jar lids that "burp", the jars now sit in a cupboard in my garage. In two weeks, I will taste and discover if I was successful. Delayed gratification, to the max!
This week a worker in the Tracy produce distribution center that Safeway uses, tested positive for COVID-19. Yesterday, the produce shelves in Safeway were nearly bare. Life is not going to go "back to normal" for quite a while, I think.
