Come on in 'The Kitchn'
Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.
This week, The Kitchn introduces us to the Dried Persimmon Lady.
Also on the Kitchn, DIY sauerkraut, a ball that stores snacks (but looks like a hamster toy), five uses of pumpkin seeds, and the deal with Jerusalem artichokes (or "sunchokes").
- How To: Make DIY Sauerkraut: Brined cabbage is cheap, great on a cold cut sandwich, and easy to make.
- Brown Bag Gadget: Boon Snack Ball: File this under things I've never thought should exist until now.
- Five Uses for Pumpkin Seeds: Pepitas (the fancy word for pumpkin seeds) are fine alone, but can also join the party of salads, soups, and granola.
- Seasonal Spotlight: Jerusalem Artichokes, a.k.a. Sunchokes: Oddly enough, Jerusalem artichokes are neither artichokes, nor related to Jerusalem in any way. They are actually related to sunflowers.
