11 gallons

11 gallons of free gasoline would be nice
11 gallons of water would be good for you over time
11 gallons of resling wine would be fabulous (of course no in one sitting)
11 gallons is a lot of any thing

11 gallons full of sauerkraut ...
... is healthy, tasty, and convenient according too the sauerkraut.com site
... is a cancer inhibitor, apparently if you eat enough on a regular basis it helps prevent cancer and is a good source of vitamins
... is helpful in preventing canker sores

... is in my basement!

yes, that is correct my father (a wonderful man) decided today to cut the 8 20lb. head of cabbage, he bought up north, to make sauerkraut. it is currently fermenting about 15 ft. from my bed. there is a wall dividing the sauerkraut and i as i sleep. the odor wafts about the house and i am surprised it is seeping out of the bricks of my house.

the good news is it will be done in just 4-5 weeks depending on the weather. if it stays between 70-75 degrees it will be finished fermenting in just 3-4 weeks and if it is between 65-55 degrees it will be 4-5 weeks.

i can tell you a few things, no one in our family or any of our friends are fearful of the bird flu any longer... sauerkraut will save us and secondly i am praying for warmer weather not just because i hate being cold but because the sauerkraut will be done faster.
