The Last of Corinna's Pics
Sorry no funny comments this time. I think my funny ran out. I'll have to re-charge my batteries. Next to come are the videos.
@dana. This morning I found the brine has become a little bit turbid, then I found it became a little more turbid one hour ago. But the brine does not taste sour yet. I think for the time being, everything is going as sheduled.
Then, I start to think about the second stage , because the pickled cabbage seems to be ready in a week or so.
#1. " Very very happy to be here again ! ( ...happy to forget all about the days I had to count sheep ... ) #2. " Is this kid your boy ? wanna be a ski racer ? Sure ! First he must * blab, blab, blab, ... , blab, * " A man ( to the kid ) : ( It'll be soon finished, and it must ... ) #3. A man : " Thanks for the helpful advices. ( but it was long )" " btw, isn't it a nice fluffy ball ? " A kid : ( why !? suddenly changing subject ... ) #4. " It's great ! so many gallery. ( no, no, no, I can't help start counting... ) #5. " you said, you give it to me, you said ! " A man : " You took it seriously ? I'm sorry it was just a joke . ( I can't believe it ! ) " A kid : ( Which is more important ? my future career or the fluffy ball ? ... If you wnat it, I give it to you, I have many at my home ... ) #6. A man : " You don't have to worry. " K : " I do worry, INDEED. " #7. A man : " OK, I'll tell him not to tell you such a thing anymore. " K : ( nod. ) #8. A kid : " I'm fast ! I'm fast ! much faster than K ! " K : ( next time I'll bring the pair of the ear-stopper ... )
@Ekaterina Your cabbage is on its good way! I think in 5-7 days it will be ready for sarmale! I told you, it depends on the warmth from the room. As you said, everything is going as schedule!
I'm sorry you lost your mom! I lost mine three years ago and I'm sure she would smile if she would read our comments about any kind of cabbage too!:-))
Girls, have a nice and peaceful afternoon -evening for you, Ekaterina! I can't wait the race from tomorrow! I'm lucky, I can watch it live on Eurosport!
@Nicoletta. Sure ! your mother enjoys reading our high-level (!) discussion on the cabbage ! and I hope my mother joins your mother. The double disscussion in the high up & on the ground.
The problem, however, is that we don't have the white cabbage !, Nicoletta ! I think almost 99.9% of our cabbage is the green one, and the little rest is the red one. So my idea is this ; When I remove some green leaves from the green cabbage, the white leaves appeare, and I use this white one for the Sauerkraut.
btw, did you check ALS ? Nicoletta ? ... Hope you have a beautiful Sunday !
@dana. yes, thanks to you, I'm preparing the cabbage, dana ! The warm temperature, OK. and I think I need some advices before I start the second stage, and thanks in advance, dana !
Well, it's nice to think about our mothers ( your, Nicoletta's, and my ) read our serious cabbage talk ! I'm sure they enjoy it. ( mine, 1 & half year ago )
@Ekaterina Your mom too? I'm sorry! You may ask me anything and if I know it will be my pleasure to help you!
Wish you a very pleasant and happy Sunday!
@Nicoletta you made me blush on ALS's!!! Thank you again! I'm not an expert but I really like to make this things at home, with no preservatives! Haha! Everytime I use this word "preservative" I can't help laughing bc in Romanian :prezervativ" means "condom"!!! LMAO Hugs!
I am sure our mothers have found together and they made for sure an interesting trio too.
@Ekaterina Regarding Sauerkraut. In Switzerland you can buy it in the Supermarket, in ideal packages (raw or already cooked). It is even valid for, I presume half an year? It should be also a quite natural thing.
Even more, they sell it in glasses or tins? (I think the German product).
Maybe you have the chance to buy it in a huge international supermarket in Tokyo?? Or the fresh white cabbage too, what would be perfect.
With the green cabbage, hmmmm I think it will be a bit difficult! Or maybe you will get the the Japanese variation of Sauerkraut??!! LOL!
You could buy the basic thing and "pimp" it up with the apple and the white wine like my mother did in the good old times.
Another option would be to try out the Swiss Rösti. Ha, ha.
@Dana Yes Dana, an expert in home-made traditional Romanian kitchen!
@dana. I forget to talk about the fencing. Congrats on Romania ( women ) ! dana ! and our men got the bronze in Paris !
Wishing you a joyful weekend, dana ! Good night. Hugs !
@Nicoletta. Yes, I can buy the Sauerkraut ( German product ) in some big supermarket in Tokyo. But I think I'd like to try it ... ;-))) The home-made is the best if there is enough time to make it.
The relationship between maestro Welser-Most and Zurich opera has been long. It was officially from 1995 to 2008. His wife is from Liechtenstein and he lives or lived in Liechtenstein.
Wishing you a great weekend, Nicoletta ! I'm goint to bed, good night. Hugs !
@Ekaterina Thank you and congrats to you too! Our men got the bronze on team sword a day before yesterday and another boy got bronze on individual! But the girls were great! I'm proud of all of them, girls and boys!
Hope you all have a great Sunday! I feel like in spring time, here is warm and sunny, the sky is blue and the bees and butterflies are flying... lol I even caught some tan today!!!
Corinna sends you her best wishes and she would like to be here with you all, but she has to wait for a few days, till her laptop will work again!
Sorry no funny comments this time. I think my funny ran out. I'll have to re-charge my batteries. Next to come are the videos.
@Corinna Thanks again for your beautiful pics!
ReplyDelete@Mel don't worry, we know you have a great sense of humor! Saw it on the previous posts! LOL I can't wait to see the vids!

ReplyDeleteThe green cabbage.
Thanks for the link of Widow Bolte, Nicoletta !
yes, Sauerkraut is my favorite, too, and I'm going to try it after my cabbage makes the debut in sarmale.
Hi Ekaterina & Dana
ReplyDeleteOh ladies, I cannot stop with laughing .... .
So there is a slight difference between the Romanian pickled cabbage and the Sauerkraut (the basis of Sauerkraut is the white cabbage). LOL!
Obviously you take the green one (we call that one Chohl!) and the white one is the Chabis!!) for beeing correct. Ha, Ha.
I am a lazy cook, if I make Sauerkraut it is the "ready to cook" one. My mother used to buy it raw, but already pickled.
She made it always with an small made?? Aple to take out a bit the sourness and at the end she gave some white wine into the Sauerkraut.
It is sad, I cannot ask her again because she died already 10 years ago.
But I am sure, if she reads our discussion about Green cabbage and Sauerkraut she will smile.
Girls, have a beautiful afternoon/evening and have fun!
