I'm not really sure you can find a place in CA where the air isn't terrible right now. I'm in the SJ Valley and the air quality is mostly keeping me inside the past couple of days too. I have breathing problems due to COPD and it's not fun. I have many canned goods in the garage. I always have tuna, canned salmon, canned chicken, green beans, and things like that to tide us over for several days if need be. Cheri |

If for some reason, we were stuck in the house for a month, we could live off of my stockpile although I am sure we would get sick of the food after a week or two. |

The odd thing about our weather is that we normally have high humidity except when the temp. goes up. We might have 2 muggy feeling days a year. Sometimes 3. It's actually pretty dry. Now that I think about it, I think this illness started prior. It began with foot and leg cramps and I couldn't figure out why I had them. My big toes were pointing upwards and my calves were tight all the time. No amount of stretching would help. I finally had to use my electric massager to get relief so I could sleep. The tight muscles were so bad that I had much more trouble walking than usual. I have finally gotten stronger to the point where I can walk from the dance studio to the grocery store. To do this I pass by 7 small businesses. One is a Subway sandwich shop and most of these places are about that size to slightly bigger. So not a long walk. Used to be that I had to stop and rest 2-3 times. But when I tried to make the walk on Monday, I had to pretty much stop and rest about every 10 steps. My legs were just weak! Even sitting caused pain. After maybe 2-3 days of this, the pain worked its way upwards. I perhaps wrongly assumed this was a Fibromyalgia flare. Often with those the pain starts either at the bottom and works its way up or the opposite. This time I had bad pain in my hip sockets and my thighs ached both front and back. But not just the muscles. Like the whole entire area. Also I had a weird headache that surrounded my right eye, went into my neck and down into the right shoulder. But... I mostly would wake up with this and as the day went on, it receded. I am pretty sure now that I did have a fever. I went from sweating to chilling. Right now I am very hungry but afraid to eat. I had my normal toast for breakfast. For dinner I only had a small hunk of bread. We got a free little demi loaf from Target. Later, I had a small dish of applesauce and an organic lollipop because my throat was sore. I think I got dehydrated as well. My fingertips seemed dry and looked very wrinkled. That's not normal for me. BG was down to 127 before dinner but shot up to 220 after, probably from eating pretty much all carbs. Am going to go make some white rice now and drink a ton of water. My mom told me to go to the walk in clinic earlier but I felt too awful to even drive. Plus I feared that I would continue to throw up. *sigh* |

I wasn't writing about what it is, but how it's spelled. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sauerkraut?s=t Besides "Kraut" isn't just "simply the word for cabbage" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kraut?s=t see definition #2. If you > add some wurst to it that's fine but is something else. > Yep. And THAT something else was what Todd and I were talking about. BTW - we weren't talking about dishes where you add wurst to sauerkraut, but dishes where you add sauerkraut and/or other goodies to wurst. Bratwurst, to be more precise. Bread also comes into play. You know, like in ye olde American hot dog. |

The OP used it in just that sense, and others here interpreted it to mean a hot dog with sauerkraut. That is what started this subthread. "Kraut" has two meanings. Sauerkraut, and a derived meaning of someone who eats it: a German. "Kraut dog" thus also has two meanings. -- I'm Trawley Trash, and you haven't heard the last of me yet. |

Only if it isn't really sauerkraut. It is going out of fashion even in Germany.
