Bamboo shoots sauerkraut

Hi Erin!  How are you doing, Honey?  Are you coping well with big business?  You should be used to it by now.  Keep your precious heart nice and relaxed, and your body healthy.  I love you, OK!  I'm just chillin' here, and listening to Covet.  I have my nights free while I'm waiting to replace my Internet computer.  Maybe I will watch a movie or play a game.

You don't have German blood in you, do you?  I love hot dogs cooked in sauerkraut.  The stuff in cans are overpriced if available.  That much for pickled cabbage?  Forget it!  However, making it myself is a hassle, because of the space it consumes in my cooler.  So I make my sauerkraut out of bamboo shoots.  I get bamboo shoots sporadically whenever the plant gives it to me, I don't like it fresh because it's too bitter, so I soak it in salt water and the end result is that it tastes just like sauerkraut.  But cutting it into fine strands is tedious, so yesterday I put the lot into the blender.  It came out looking like relish, which is workable I think.  Tortillas are cheaper than rice and generate less trash, so dinner was hot dogs with sautéed onions and potatoes topped with bamboo shoots sauerkraut wrapped in tortillas.  Wanna try one?

Ow!  Typing on this tiny device hurts my left shoulder!
