I started reading sections of Wild Fermentation, a book on making fermented foods.  I think I will start to make my own sauerkraut. I went to a Korean grocery store to get some Korean pepper flakes ($2.99) and rice flour ($2.99) for my future kimchee making efforts. I stocked up on some new spices from Penzey's ($32.75). Karen and I have been making/eating a lot of dals lately. I quipped to her the other day that we eat like those terrorist kids in Waziristan. I visited this store called vom Fass. It is a German store, with this store being only the current store in the USA.  They have all sorts of oils and vinegars, and liqueurs that you can by any amount/volume. Nothing struck my fancy, so I signed up for their Scotch section when it is finished; I like the idea of not having to buy a whole bottle just to sample.
