helllloo ladies

Meanmarie.. i have put tea tree oil on my trotters which was a little eye watering.. but i swear by the stuff... i was really good and didn't busrt the blistera..then went and ripped it off :rotfl: ..my toe is raw from the very tip to where it joins my foot :eek: ...but its still going walking like it or not

Frogga.. no one knows who you are.... don't be embarassed mrs... you weigh less now than you did before :T ..don't try and make us think you are shy n bashfull..we won't believe it my little green friend

Kittyscarlett.. i may have to have a bash..its not the same as saurkraut you see... its kind of done in wine, vinegar and other things i think... i used to like the sweetness..like having sweet pickled onions instead of big viscious ones.. i just think i have lost my sweet tooth :j not that i want it back;)

taplady.... cheesy mash n beans yummmm i have just picked some more beans up.. i have some HM individual cheese mashed potato, onion, n ham flans in the freezer and i have to have them with beans... takes me back to school meals

Meanymoo....welcome on board

I don't blame you for getting your weight down whilst its still only a bit extra :T wish i had done the same years ago....

Newlywed...
its like the 2nd picture,,, no bacon in the one i liked... it has cabbage, onions, green pepper.... and now i don't like it..and as much as it pains me i will have to throw it away as hubby cant stand it ...poop... still it will be the 1st thing i have thrown away since we got here...so i will cope.

kittyscarlett

MrsM ... the krautsalat doesn't sound too difficult to spirit up at home ... sounds like a longer lasting cold version of cooked spiced red cabbage... that way you could just sweeten it slightly to your taste and still enjoy it. I'm pretty sure you could make up a decent version as you go along !

If its the sweetness of this one that bothers you, and not the other tastes and you reallydon't want to throw it away - could you not add it to a new batch of shredded fresh cabbage and some wine vinegar/lemon juice to dilute the sweetness/sharpen it up a bit ?

ooooohhhh newlywed

:iloveyou: ...... thats it.... i have tried soo many times to track down a recipe for it :T ..i think the 1st one is closest...
will have to give that a try....

Kittyscarlett.. i had pondered the idea of letting it down with more cabbage but to be honest i think that to let it down enough to enjoy..i would end up with enough to feed a couple of streets :rotfl: .. think the bin is the best option..as much as it pains me to do it... hhmmm i can't even think of a way of sneaking it into hubbys meals :rotfl:
