Fermented food is all the rage now. It's great for gut health and promotes the good bacteria. Foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, vinegar, and vinegar tonic beverages. Very chic.

I just got a meeting notice for a mandatory staff meeting on Monday. At 6 am. All staff is required to be there, even if not scheduled to work that day. No clue what's going on.

 I made miso soup every day for #2 when he was on antibiotics since he doesn't like yogurt.  Worked like a charm.  There's something to be said for all that.  Personally, I love sauerkraut.  I just got a huge head of cabbage from the farm I'll have to see about making some...

 I agree something is up. but the 6 am is because that's shift change for our production people. but that means us admin people have to be at work 2 hours early 👿

 I didn't know it was "chic."

One of the few things Mom cooked was sauerkraut...smell hung around for weeks, it seemed. At least she never made me eat any...

Early run to the post office & grocery store - got the flowers for Church - now to decide what I want to cook for the pot luck. I got a nice boneless pork roast - maybe roast pork in applesauce gravy?

I have some in my fridge but I'm not sure if it is still good.  Then again I'm not sure it goes bad either.  I had it for when I was making Reubens for my lunch.

 How do you tell if sauerkraut has gone over?  It likely tastes the same either way!

Exactly.  I guess if it dries out & shrivels up or has green on it?

Doughboy Center

The Story of the American Expeditionary Forces

DOUGHNUT!

THE 

OFFICIAL STORY

 

 

imag0680.jpg

 



Since 1917, when a cheerful Salvation Army lassie handed a fresh doughnut to a homesick doughboy in France, The Salvation Army doughnut has symbolized loving concern for those in the armed forces.

In 1917 young Helen Purviance, an ensign in the Salvation Army, was sent to France to work with the American First Division. Putting her Hoosier ingenuity to work, she and a fellow officer, Ensign Margaret Sheldon, patted the first dough into shape by hand, but soon employed an ordinary wine bottle as a rolling pin. Since they had no doughnut cutter, the lassies used a knife to cut the dough into strips and then twisted them into crullers.

pix31.jpg

Ensign Helen Purviance and Crew
Inventors of the Doughnut as We Love It

Ensign Purviance coaxed the wood fire in the potbellied stove to keep it at an even heat for frying. Because it was back-breaking to lean over the low fire, she spent most of the time kneeling in front of the stove.

"I was literally on my knees," she recalled, "when those first doughnuts were fried, seven at a time, in a small frypan. There was also a prayer in my heart that somehow this home touch would do more for those who ate the doughnuts than satisfy a physical hunger,"

imag0679.jpg

The Salvation Army in Action

Soon the tempting aroma of frying doughnuts drew a lengthy line of soldiers to the hut. Standing in mud and rain, they patiently waited their turn.

Although the girls worked late into the night, they could serve only 150 doughnuts the first day. The next day, that number was doubled. A while later, when fully equipped for the job, they fried from 2,500 to 9,000 doughnuts daily, as did other lassies along the frontline trenches.

After several soldiers asked, "Can't you make a doughnut with a hole in it?", Ensign Purviance had an elderly French blacksmith improvise a doughnut cutter by fastening the top of a condensed milk can and camphor-ice tube to a wooden block. Later, all sorts of other inventions were employed, such as the lid from a baking powder can or a lamp chimney to cut the doughnut, with the top of a coffee percolator to make the hole.

pix11.jpg

Ensign Stella Young of Everett, Massachusetts

The soldiers cheered the doughnuts and soon referred to Salvation Army lassies as "doughnut girls," even when they baked apple pies or other treats. The simple doughnut became a symbol of all that the Salvation Army was doing to ease the hardships of the frontline fighting man -- the canteens in primitive dugouts and huts, the free refreshments, religious services, concerts, and a clothes-mending service.

Today Salvation Army Red Shield Clubs and USO units offer members of the Armed Forces a variety of services, ranging from attractive recreational facilities to family counseling -- but the famous doughnut remains a perennial favorite.

Nor is it confined to those in uniform. During every sort of peacetime emergency --fires, floods, earthquake, transit strikes, blackouts -- The Salvation Army's mobile canteens have provided thousands of civilians with the doughnuts that stand for the Salvationist's loving concern and readiness to help in time of need.

Wow. While I was in the basement and the maids were upstairs cleaning, 2.84 inches of rain fell. The pool is green and almost overflowing, and since I left the garage door open for the ladies, my garage is flooded. And I watered part of my yard earlier. Oh well.

I need to find my motivation. I need to: do my Bible study lesson for yesterday and today, do my meal planning for the next week, make my lists of what all needs accomplished over the weekend and non-food stuff we need to restock, and update the calendar.

 Definitely try Hulu.  Or Project Free TV.  Or get a border jumper so you can watch Canadian Netflix (apparently we're cooler - another reason to move here!)

I had the day off from work today for once but I took SO's son to the dentist, then I went to his poetry reading, all the kids in his class read poems they wrote to the parents. Now I'm at the vet. So it's still been a busy day!
