The white crock is covered in cloth so it can breathe.
What you are seeing is the big jar of water that is a weight holding the veg down under the brine.
This is the cabbage and spices in brine. In 3 weeks it will be delicious homemade pickled cabbage.

I learned how to make pickles from Hometalk writer Jordan Laio. He actually gave me the stoneware crock as a wedding gift. So I'd say that pickling is a Hometalk family activity. Want to learn how? Here's the recipe I use: http://www.networx.com/blog/diy-kitchen-live-culture-pickle-recipe

My grandparents ( on my mom's side) were avid gardeners...I fondly remember a pantry full of all manners of canned things from the garden. Tomatoes, beans, peas, beets, squash, corn....and pickles. Being depression era farm folks most of their groceries came out of the backyard. One f my favorite dishes was a home made soup / stew. It has been know in our family simply as "Grandpa Soup". This is my take on it. http://kmswoodworks.wordpress.com/2010/10/31/grandpa-soup/
