My hubby and I both loved German food! Not sure I have ever had any German food I didn't love. My hubby LOVES German potato salad--served warm!<br />Third--we are currently in Indi (until Feb 6) and the weather here has been great. High's in the 80's and even touching 90 some days--beautiful if we can just see beyond the haze. As nice as these warm temps abound, it really knows how to cool down in the evenings (mornings too) and the tend to blast the a/c--I have to carry a sweater at all times. ;-)<br />Just wish I had another female here with me--I don't feel confident to go out during the day, while on my own....Jon and Vicki Marneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490578546719296693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-70575286347052458712016-01-26T19:24:34.096-05:002016-01-26T19:24:34.096-05:00I love red cabbage, Jan, so this recipe is going o...I love red cabbage, Jan, so this recipe is going on the must-cook list.

We'll head up to the Alpine Inn for lunch, and then go visit the wildlife at the state park. :) I know you love Texas, but you lived here long enough to get a hankering for the Black Hills now and then.Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-54128786389576147062016-01-25T12:35:52.624-05:002016-01-25T12:35:52.624-05:00I'm glad to hear it's more buttery and sav...I'm glad to hear it's more buttery and savory!

Maybe it's just their youth, like you say. Me? I would want a full tank of heating oil in the fall. Then if we didn't need to use it we wouldn't buy any next year.<br /><br />Wisdom comes with...no, not age. You learn wisdom by making mistakes. ;) I would guess that your nephew won't try to get by without heating oil in future years!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-41932122694289861112016-01-25T12:31:28.352-05:002016-01-25T12:31:28.352-05:00Sometimes red cabbage is called purple cabbage, so...Sometimes red cabbage is called purple cabbage, so you might be able to find it that way. It tastes a lot like regular green cabbage, maybe without that slightly bitter edge you get sometimes with green cabbage. And I've heard it's healthier - maybe the red/purple color provides antioxidants?<br /><br />But I love this dish - not spicy/pickely like sauerkraut, but buttery and savory. Mmmm....<br /><br />And I'm not sure I live on the wild side, but I sure love to visit! :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-34313509219833857832016-01-25T12:28:24.854-05:002016-01-25T12:28:24.854-05:00That picture Cate Nolan shared on Facebook was so ...That picture Cate Nolan shared on Facebook was so heartwarming, wasn't it?

The little meat market near the ranch sells a homemade German sausage that we love. Works great sliced thin as an appetizer or for dinner, served with some Bavarian-style sauerkraut. My mouth is watering, though, just looking at your plate. I might have to come visit you so you can take me to this place.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-81395959436308825672016-01-25T11:31:14.617-05:002016-01-25T11:31:14.617-05:00I'm used to regular cabbage but at least I can...I'm used to regular cabbage but at least I can say I was raised on homecanned saurkraut.

I'm so excited to read it, and so excited for you, my friend!<br /><br />I'm finishing up my 3rd Grace Haven story, so I'm holding off on reading, it will be my reward... once this book is complete and sent of to NYC!!!<br /><br />We were west of the storm, but my two upstate farm-raised boys went out to walk around Manhattan and Jersey City because snow is just snow to them... and they get a kick out of seeing the effect of 24 inches on a metro area.<br /><br />But having grown up in Rochester, I know how tricky it is to move snow on city streets! Country roads are so amenable to plows and salt trucks, but city streets are a whole other tangle! I loved Cate Nolan's pics of her Brooklyn neighborhood.... Monster piles in tiny areas. :)<br /><br />I love the pics, Jan, thank you for sharing them, and now I want to have something come and lick the salt off my car. Or wash it, maybe???
