RE: Holiday Food

Kitty, Bill's family (German heritage through and through) fixed corned beef
and cabbage, rather than sauerkraut.  Is that more appetizing?  Personally I
only like the corned beef and can do without the sauerkraut or the boiled
cabbage.  But, if it makes Bill happy...it's such an easy thing to do
anyway, I will do it for him.  (I forgot to mention he bought a Christmas
bouquet with pink roses and alstromeria and cedar boughs.  He's always doing
something nice for me, so I don't have any problems doing things he likes
too.)  

Kitty, is there a Rosens left in Indy?  All the Rosens in Indy that I
remember have all been closed or are something else now.  Did they go out of
business?  They had great iclairs, too!

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5) Missing some of my Hoosier roots.... :>)

Around here I have heard of eating Corned Beef as a New Year's dish, which
would be fine by me except that since this is a very German area, they also
insist on sauerkraut being served with it. Yuk and Peeeee--yewwwwwww.  Also,
you can no longer get a garlic-cured corned beef brisket here.  They put a
few seeds and spices in a sealed packet rather than allow it to marinate.

Kitty, who yearns for real rip-your-teeth-out Rosen's Rye Bread!
