This Week I’ve Been Mostly Eating…
…meat. Here’s the Christmas week’s menu – none cooked by myself! All prepared by friends and family members:
Pfälzer Platte with Bratwurst, Saumagen, Leberknödel and Sauerkraut (Thanks to Alina, who successfully completed her Pfälzer cooking diploma that evening),
Rump steak with fried onions and potatoes (Thanks for Mother-in-law, who always cooks for at least two more people just-in-case),
Meat-free pacific salmon in a rich sauce from cream and herbs, served with saffron rice and salads (Thanks to my Dad, who is a great source for new meal ideas),
Stew of Venison, with Knödel, Spätzle, and lambs lettuce (Dad, again, who served a very fine venison indeed – but not the one shown here),
Dampfnudeln and Woisoss’, potato and vegetable soup, and custard (Thanks to my sister, who never shies away from any effort when it comes to hospitality), and finally
Rindfleisch with Meerettich (boiled beef with hot horseradish sauce) and fresh white bread (Thanks to R&S, who always offer friendship at least as big as the piece of meat that we ate on that night).
