Dad's makin' Kraut!

We didn't think to take pictures along the way, but here's Dad's expensive new kraut-making kit in action!  
We used two 3-pound heads of organic cabbage from Tom's Market, adding two teaspoons of pickling salt (with nothing but sodium & clorine!) for each pound, a total of 12 teaspoons. According to the label, each teaspoon is roughly 100% of the "Daily Amount" -- that is, as much as a person should eat per day. So a half-pound of kraut per day is about all you should eat, unless you wash it to remove the salt (which unfortunately removes some of the flavor as well).
