I recently went through my collection of dill pickles, and had t throw most of them out, as they'd become very soft in the middle. <br /><br />The "right" type of cucumbers for pickling are unavailable here, although earlier this year I found a a decent but not perfect substitute in the Pátzcuaro mercado.<br /><br />Kapusta is stuffed cabbage rolls, right?<br />But made with soured cabbage leaves? I'm intrigued by that, never having made or tasted it. (Now I Googled it and found that it's just different ways to cook cabbage, often with smoked or cured meats. The local chuletas ahumadas work well for that.)<br /><br />I'll be in touch by email.<br /><br />Saludos,<br /> Don CuevasDon Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-15355708823835689482010-12-15T23:20:50.468-06:002010-12-15T23:20:50.468-06:00Bugs????

I hope not, so far we have been pretty lucky, especially since we have been limiting use of chemicals and pesticides...hopefully our luck will continue.<br />Sr Cuevas, will a batch of sour pickles also be included? <br />Felipe, I have to admit, I am still a soft Gringo, I haven't developed into a total Mexican as you have.. I still enjoy spoiling myself with excesses. A foie gras taste still prevails too.<br />Linda Lou, After seeing what megafarming production does to the land, health and life, I vowed to do what I could to try and turn my remaining years not killing myself like I did for the first portion of my life. We had lots of agribusiness clients , where I found out too much for my own good concerning chemical life.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-26926802377696360542010-12-15T12:26:56.717-06:002010-12-15T12:26:56.717-06:00I am loving your cabbage and wishing you could sen...I am loving your cabbage and wishing you could send me some here in Alamos!<br />We now have an organic grower who comes to sell on Saturdays, lovely stuff!
