Looking west at sunrise, late October

It's supposed to be sunny and warm here for the next few days.


I'm headed to Intermarché this morning to pick up some raw choucroute (French sauerkraut) that I ordered and plan to cook this week, along with all the meats we enjoy having as part of our choucroute garnie. To my way of thinking, it's a bad sign that raw (uncooked but salt cured) choucroute is now only available if you order it ahead of time. Until now, it was a standard item that was available for purchase at the charcuterie counter at Intermarché at this time of year. I buy a good amount when I buy it. It freezes well.

  1. Changes, eh? I guess it's something that takes some time to cook, and there are fewer people around you who are home long enough during the day to do a lengthy prep and cooking?
    We're expecting a few days of warm weather, too, then cold and rainy after.

  2. I wonder why they changed the availability? Choucroute garnie sounds great on a cool day.
