Conroe Saturday AM market

I was settling in on the fact, I would not be writing a blog entry tonight. Earlier this evening the wife and I went to a visit a co-worker who works at another restaurant at night. The unique product at Ramil's restaurant is Pretzel buns.

And we found a Retro Candy Store next door. The days eating was over until.....

I started to watch a cable program that Chef Michael told me about called Diners, Drive-in and Dives The host visited a restaurant in Spokane , Washington where the owner made sauerkraut in 1 hour. Sliced Cabbage, 2 kinds of vinegar {Apple,Malt} , salt , pepper. He then made a Ruben. with homemade 1000 island dressing. Earlier this week I learned from Pat with Peas Farm that my second attempt at making sauerkraut had failed.The wife had said you will not be stinking up my house no more. When I realized I could make sauerkraut in less than an hour , I had to go for it. I took:

 1/2 a cabbage head

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

tsp. salt

tsp black pepper

Boiled for 15 min. And add in 1 diced Orange

I combined with sliced corn beef, Baked a hoagie bun. sliced it open.

I placed Sauerkraut, meat, Swiss cheese on the bun and melted the cheese in the oven. Upon taking the sandwich out, I topped it with homemade 1000 Island dressing

1/2 cup Ketchup

1/2 cup sweet relish

1 cup salad dressing.

I was finally able to enjoy a Ruben with my own sauerkraut. And we did not have to live with the stink for several weeks.
