My lamb from
Starlight Hill Farms arrived this weekend so for this week's Dark Days meal I made some pan-fried blade chops with kraut and kale salad. The kraut and kale salad was inspired by Mother's Kitchen's recipe this week. I also used her kraut recipe to make my homemade sauerkraut, made this fall with cabbage bought at the farmer's market. For the salad, I used Red Russian Kale and the sweetest little white turnips both from
Blackbird Gardens, bought at
The Village at Grand Traverse Commons' Saturday market. I skipped the onion and carrot, used organic flax seed oil and added some anise seeds because I have become very fond of them with sauerkraut. Thanks Cynthia for your
Kraut and Kale Salad and
Homemade Sauerkraut Instructions.

I noticed today that the star is even more crooked than it was when I first put it up and that we have a Christmas spider in residence.
