This video is quite classic and possibly worth watching the whole way through if you’re bored this Sunday.  About halfway through there is a training round for the Sauerkraut eating championship in Henderson, MN.  It takes place next weekend, so if you’re a serious krauter (and I know we have some in the Burgh), check out the website and get going up north.  I do have to warn you though, winning the Sauerkraut eating competition will require consuming 2 pounds of spoiled cabbage in about a minute (last year’s winner finished in 1’04″)

Now 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.
