Re: Holiday Food

Hmmm, must be the "Kraut" in me......my mother is German....but I just LOVE sauerkraut. And on my father's side...Scotch....so I love cooked cabbage too....and coleslaw. I just pretty much love cabbage. I cook it all the time...kids love it too...except for Robert's youngest, who is a very picky eater. She doesn't even drink milk.....now that's just WRONG. I can't imagine life without THAT!!! So I buy her the orange juice with vitamin C and D in it.

They ferment it in brine [kosher or rock salt and it's own juice]. Did you know that you can buy the "juice" in little bottles [one assumes] for breakfast? Personally, I like sauerkraut, but none of my wives have [maybe that's why the marriages sauered?]. And it is high in vitamin C.

but I'm not that desperate for good rye to go that far.

Wonderful that Bill brought you the bouquet, very thoughtful.

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,

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!

All that sounds great to me, but in our household the tale was that the

more

black-eyed peas you ate on New Year's, the more money you would have in

the

coming year.  Ergo, the only dish served was a large pot of b-e peas.  I

still

make them every year - guess I don't eat enough, though.  Auralie
