Shrimp heads with some root vegetables makes excellent seafood stock for gumbo, eutoufee and creole. 30 pounds of shrimp in the freezer for future good eats.

Oh my gosh you guys I just smoked eggs. I tried smoking them for a couple hours through the shell at about 175 degrees. I pulled one out and peeled it and it was done just perfect but no smoke flavor. So I peeled all of them and sprinkle them with Cajun seasoning and put them back in the smoker and smoke them for an hour and a half at 150 degrees with apple smoke and they turned out absolutely delicious. I will never eat a hard-boiled egg again unless it is smoked
 
Had some home made sauerkraut that was taking up too much room in the fridge so made some sauerkraut soup. Sounds like itd be a terrible idea but I swear it’s delicious.

Loosely followed this recipe based on what I had on hand (https://www.tastingtable.com/cook/recipes/How-to-Make-a-Sauerkraut-Soup-Recipe)

And a loaf of bread to go with it.

Looks and sounds great, but being of Polish/Slovak descent I would have put kielbasa in it rather than chorizo. But that's just me.

It dont sound that terrible to me actually. I eat a lot of kimchi stew and that is basically a spicy sauerkraut. In Korea there are many variations of kimchi stew including using blood sausage and other cured meats....even SPAM....nasty!!!!

I like mine with plain old pork or pork belly though

Have you ever tried Spanish or Portuguese dry chorizo? Its much different than Mexican chorizo...especially the Portuguese kind. Its similar to polish sausage or linguica. Spanish dry chorizo i get is a bit harder and spicier than the Portuguese. Both kinds are cured and smoked.

Ive never made kraut into soup but i love kraut warmed up a little and served with swojska kielbasa. Slice and lighty brown the sausage. Remove most of the grease. Then toss some kraut in the pan just long enough to warm it up.

I could see a good dry chorizo working well with that too.
 
I haven't but most everytime I grill something I'll first throw on some linguica as an appetizer. After it's cooked I slice it up and sprinkle fresh lime juice over it. Great with a beer.
 
Try feijoda or fabada with a mix of linguica and whatever other sausages you like. Its sorta like Spanish/Portuguese ham and beans in a stew. I prefer the Brazilian black bean style of feijoda with a touch of habanero added to it. Just enough for the aroma and a little heat.

Another good one is caldo verde...Kale or collard greens and potato soup seasoned with some sausage.
