I meant the carrots, potatoes, and farfalline. They were added just last night.
The chicken broth was made a while back.
Oh, also, according to my wife, there were also kisses in there.

Got tonites dinner, rouladen, slowly simmering away. Will add potatoes later to cook. When done there will be a gravy from the broth.
Wifey will make a sweet and sour purple cabbage to go with everything. One of my favourite childhood meals.

Oh boy, me too! Haven't thought of it in years. I found out as an adult that most people put pickles in the rouladen but my (second generation German-American) grandmother did not so naturally, that's the only way I like it. With potato dumplings and sweet red cabbage, yum!

Thanks for the memory.

Yea, my mother was first generation Canadian FOB from Germany after the war. We always had pickles in the rouladen so I still use chopped pickles in it. I don't cook anything else and find rouladen very easy to make. It take some of the strain off the boss in getting Sunday dinner ready so she's happy about that too.

If you can make it here in an hour you are welcome to some.

This evening we had grilled turkey burgers, sweet potatoes fries, and steamed broccoli. The burgers turned out really good considering it ground turkey. Turkey was the only meat we had thawed out. I was cleaning up an old smoker this afternoon and decided I could grill on it as part of re-cureing the smoker. Anyway, I am planning to smoke a chicken next weekend and will post some pics.

It's a hamburger made out of meat on a bun with nothing. Add ketchup if you want. I couldn't care less.

Actually the burger had egg, bread crumbs, and steak seasoning in it. The potatoes, carrots, and onions were cooked in foil packs with olive oil.

The point of the Swanson quote is that a simple beef burger tastes better than a turkey burger, even if you use mix fancy ingredients with the turkey.

Food Frenzy Old World style: First up was Russian pickles and oooh so good! Had to use English cucumbers instead of regular pickle cukes but oh what a pleasant surprise, on how delicious and crunchy they turned out to be. Went great with Rye crackers and Swiss cheese.





Next was the soup.......
Cabbage
Gold beets and the Greens
Red onion
Potato
Sausage


Actual supper was two whole sausages and cabbage wedge simmered in the soup I was outta control ya'll.

Ribs, deviled eggs with a tad too much horse radish. Fresh from the garden tomato salad. Keep it simple boys.
