I put a link to wiki on the post if you want more.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Lucy - I had a browse in my cookbooks and have seen a few interesting recipes for sauerkraut but am a bit lacking in energy - maybe I need to eat more of my cupcakes - I did wander if they had many health benefits as I thought I had heard about sauerkraut being high in Vitamin C - I just checked Wiki and found why I thought this - because Captain Cook used it for his crew to prevent scurvy - fascinating stuff!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-85580758933962743782007-06-07T09:24:00.000+10:002007-06-07T09:24:00.000+10:00Cool cakes.

Weird idea, but they seem to have worked a treat.<BR/><BR/>A lecturer I had when studying nutrition called sauerkraut 'yoghurt for vegans', so good are all those little bacteria. Will rack brains for a good use for the rest of yours, but current favourite is a rye bread sandwich with avocado, sauerkraut and a drizzle of olive oil.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31940595864862474802007-06-07T03:10:00.000+10:002007-06-07T03:10:00.000+10:00Excuse my ignorance: what is kraut rock? :)Excuse my ignorance: what is kraut rock? :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157804056370219398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-61072813184611800682007-06-07T00:33:00.000+10:002007-06-07T00:33:00.000+10:00We were just discussing this in another blog's com...We were just discussing this in another blog's comments: <BR/>Winter Skies Kitchen Aglow. The difference between muffins and cupcakes is mostly in the method. That's my opinion, anyhow.<BR/><BR/>I've baked chili pepper in brownies, so why not sauerkraut w/ chocolate? I'll keep this mind next time I feel like baking out of the box.

I love the idea of the orange cream, in fact, what about figuring out a way to tuck in a small spoon of marmalade? <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I can explain the difference between a muffin and a cupcake but like good art, "I know it when I see it". :-)Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.com
