Sauerkraut ... is it October again?

Whatever is old is new again ... and I feel like I'm stuck in a time warp - this is the 1950s, baby.  Meaning, my FIL would have still been alive and he was very much the cook on board multiple Navy ships.  

I have eaten base food, not eaten on board any ship.

Additionally, since there is no way of telling whether or not FIL would have ever made it, I don't know if he is indeed the Arthur referenced in the recipe.

Yes, gearing up to the point.  Several days ago, I stumbled on a sauerkraut balls (fried) recipe ... if I am going to make it - and I have been dared to make it - I ought to make the sauerkraut myself.  No?

October is a BLUR and NaNo is coming ...

I looked at the calendar this morning and realized something:

Somehow or another, October is vanishing before my eyes.  You might even say it is a bit of a blur.

I'm going to participate in NaNoWriMo again this year.  National Novel Writing Month, is a 50,000 word celebration of November!  It is a mere 1667ish words per day.  

So I'm tanking up.

Fuzzy can do his own ironing.

He can run to the store.

He can even find ways to entertain himself.

I'm actually going to go to some of the meetings and write with others who want to be vampires (meaning no sunlight and lots of time in dark places - no blood please).

 I'm hoping for some fresh ideas this time around.  I'm even banking on it!
