the sauerkraut dilemma
Wednesday, September 5th, 2018 10:46 pmOr, sauerkraut odor, reprise.
I need to eat about a cup of sauerkraut before going to bed, as it's the only way to stop it from continuing to stink up my refrigerator. Other than tossing it in the trash, which would probably make my trash bin stink. I hope that eating it won't make me stink too much. Dang, I'm not really in the mood for eating sauerkraut.
It's in a glass bowl covered with foil fastened with a rubber band and closed within not 1 but 2 ziplock bags. But the smell still gets out. As if the open containers of baking soda, vinegar and coffee grounds that I put in the fridge weren't in there at all.
Yesterday at work, I noticed an unpleasant smell while drinking from my water bottle. The smell was coming from the rubbery ring on the lid... I finally realized that it had absorbed the stinky sauerkraut smell from the refrigerator. Gah.
Search on "How to dispose of sauerkraut" (https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+dispose+of+sauerkraut) and the results include titles such as:
How to dispose of or recycle Sauerkraut - Township of Scugog
How to dispose of or recycle Sauerkraut - Region of Durham
How to dispose of or recycle Sauerkraut - City of Oshawa
But no, don't get excited; those pages don't actually have any useful info specific to sauerkraut.

"Keep in mind that generations of koreans fought with that problem and while our ancestors came up with the idea of keeping it outside of the house, with all our technology today, all we could came up with was to buy a separate fridge."
