Man I'm sorry BUT I don't miss Rob .. He never added anything but B/S .. nOW BILL THAT'S ANOTHER sTORY .. BILL EVEN KNEW HOW TO MAKE ... SAUERKRAUT.
I miss Rob, Rob loved to get people going and had smartest guy in the room syndrome but underneath that he was s good guy, he did not take being an asshole personal he loved the argument for argument sake. He did not believe half the crap he argues about, he just argues because he loves to, that's why he was a lawyer. I loved seeing if I could outdo Bill for Rob "Merit badges".
That being said, I do miss Bill's wit, I was just posting something the other day and thinking this is where Bill chim's in, it was a perfect opening for his commentary. Bill was one of the reasons I became a member of this site, his humor and mine are very similar.
Now as for Sauerkraut, I can make it, part of my dads family are austro-dutch so I learned a thing or two about it. You have to wash it, the germans used vinegar as a preservative not as a flavoring, it does flavor it but they don't eat it with all that vinegar in it, so you wash it, you dice up an apple and an onion and add to it, you boil it in chicken stock and then you take some short ribs and boil them in it until the meat falls off the bone then you pull out the ribs and pull all the meat apart and that's how you make Sauerkraut.
