As I mentioned yesterday, the weekly sauerkraut got delayed to today because I was hurting after yesterdays marathon.  How, you might be wondering, would I be able to draw a connection between marathons and sauerkraut.  Well ladies and gentlemen, the great state of Pennsylvania has not failed me.  It turns out the first annual Half Sauer Half Kraut Marathon will be held in Reading, PA this June.  The tag line reads, “No need to run this race in Lederhosen to enjoy the German food at the post race party.” I don’t think I’ll be able to make that race, but I will admit to having run a 5k in the south side put on by the Polish Falcons, primarily so that I could get an authentic polish sausage at the end.

Anyway, on to the purpose of Sauerkraut Sundays… As I go through the week, I use Twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you use Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review.  I’ve selected the most useful of my tweets from the last week and placed them in to the categories that I use in this blog.
