I have a little bit of a secret; I’m not a big fan of actually consuming sauerkraut (or even smelling it).  I enjoy do enjoy writing these posts, and it does add a little bit of an aroma to this blog, but what I prefer to eat is pasta.  Preferably pasta of the northern Italian variety.  However, I do have some good news for you if you came to this blog on Sauerkraut Sunday because you actually LIKE sauerkraut.  Particularly if you like Sauerkraut in northern Italy.  There’s a town called Castelrotto, which the locals prefer to call Kastelruth since it feels more like their native German.  It’s easy to pick up a little bit of Sauerkraut in local restaurants there like the Hotel Cavallino.

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.
