We celebrated our 27th anniversary this past Saturday. Our son, visiting with us, served us a special dinner consisting of sauerbraten and the traditional accompaniments.

Recipes are a combination of family heirloom and adaptations.

Mmmm. I never know how good German cooking was until I married into a German rooted family.

It still doesn't rank with Haggis, however!
 
Only Englishmen know how to brew fine tea and fry cheap fish.
Only Germans know how to make sausage.
And only Southerners know how to boil peanuts. Yum!
 
Those recipes bring back memories. My grandmother always served sauerbraten with either potato dumplings, bread dumplings (hardball-sized; sliced and pan fried in butter or bacon grease) or spaetzle. The red cabbage was made with bacon grease, and a little caraway seed to eliminate the gassyness. Good thing there are alot of good German restaurants around here to subdue my cravings!

Congratulations on your anniversary, Jay! Coming up on 28 years myself (only 22 years "on paper" though).
