You have certainly elevated the dish from chunk up some hot dogs and add to pot with can of beans my only suggestion would be to put it all in a cassarole dish and bake till browned and bubbly maybe with some 1 inch squares of sliced bacon and some more brown sugar on top....serve with sweet cornbread and bowls tracey

Most beans not just soy are on the no no list also..so you basically cant have anything but iceberg lettuce...sorry... My B-I-Ls both get this really bad - one of them swears by Organic Cherry Juice He even gave everyone a bottle at Christmas The other one just drinks more beer to feel better Like mentioned above Water Water and more Water...and it seems to run in families too tracey feel better

Hmm butter poached lobster with an asparagus ravioli, caviar on top if you must chilled red pepper or carrot soup with creme fraiche fillet of beef seared rare with mushrooms and onions and baby potatoes that have been boiled then crushed lightly and pan fried cheese and fruit then a lemon or chocolate dessert no Dill for me please but most people would find a place for it tracey

you could drop the whole package in a roasting pan of water in a low oven....Sous Vide more or less.... Tracey

Dave you forgot the potatoes... I nuke little red potatoes for about 3 min then cut them in half and lube with oil and salt and pepper. The usually go on the grill the same time as the zucchini since they only need to brown Also tasty is big slabs of bread brushed with olive oil and grilled, then rubbed with a garlic clove. Perfect for a steak and tomato salad dinner tracey

And I was just worried about bird poop in my beer T

So its June and all ...but what the hell Germania Park in Dover is having an Oktoberfest this weekend and next Saturdays start at 5 ....Sundays at Noon like I need anymore German food tracey

Oh hell yeah...outside is just fine, we are just back from Germany and many meals were taken outside...I kind of miss it... and the beer tastes good that way too tracey

I know its heresy but I think your best bet is to give the meat 2hours of smoke then transfer them to the oven and start over with more meat...and so on and so on there is the theory that after a certain temp your not picking up any more smoke flavor anyway T

After the 4 story elevator ride up to Hitlers Tea house and plenty of time to ooh and aah over the scenery we went back down to the tourist center where there is a restaurant and a Documentation House. We had lunch with a side of great views and then buzzed through the Documentation House..German only.. Friday evening we didnt do much, went to the supermarket in the train staion below our hotel for sandwich fixin's and some goodies to bring home ( lots of candy, and Gyro spice pack) and then it was time to pack. We had a 4:30 am wake up call to make our 7am flight so we could go sit in London for another 6 hours....DIRECT FLIGHTS PEOPLE bad airplane food and then we were home T http://www.flickr.com/photos/rooftop1000/ ....mine, work in progress ....the Kid'shttp://www.flickr.com/photos/56916403@N00/...57605432385812/ ...Kurt's Hey MarketStEl there are lots of train shots in Kurt's Enjoy

Over the 2 weeks, the food was unremittingly great - I think German cooking has a bad rap! I need to start some discussion on that after this and the video editing and the Flikr thing... I still cants seem to load any pictures but I am going to wrap this thing up anyway Thursday was another "scatter day" Kurt was going to rent a bicycle and explore, the kids were going to the Deutches Museum and Karl, Gma and I were going shopping. We started at the Viktulien Market for ...uh brunch? I had all these plans that we would get tons of food from different stands and have a big buffet but that never works... I ended up with cheese spread, a nut and seed roll and a beer oh well next trip.. We headed for the Galleria so I could get the Rouladenringes I wanted last year...(metal clamps for stuffed meal rolls so you dont have to use string or picks) Then off to pick out Beer steins for Karl and his Brothers and gifts for other people. Kurt went off to Englisher garden to see the surfers, the nude sunbathers and go swimming in the Isar, he did all that and had a few beers at the Chinese tower beer garden. Thursday evening the kids had plans to meet a group from the Something Awfull forums and we were having dinner with Zappa and his wife. We met up at the Hirschgarten near Nymphenburg Palace and had a few beers and then headed for a nearby Greek restaurant...yeah Greek food on vacation in Germany. We sat in their garden and had a wonderfull time chatting over lamb, and mixed seafood platters...I think they chose this place because it was across the street from our Trolley Stop Friday morning was our last day...and another planned Tour. This time on a big old bus, right to the door of where we were going...ok there was a second lighter bus to take us straight up the mountain above Berchtesgarten to the Eagles nest. This was a wonderful trip with great scenery and commentary from our guide at Greyline Tours T

AAArgh Image gullet seems to be down So Tuesday was scarey as hell, we went south to Mittenwald and on into Austria through the towns of Imst, Fleiss and Fuchsmoos and back around to the Autobahn back to Munich. We stopped at a cafe right after being on top of that lovely mountain and had some coffees, a Soda that I have no idea what it was called but it tasted like a cross between Ginger Ale and Apple soda..pretty good, and some apple strudel with icecream and whipped cream. After returning the bikes to the shop around 8pm we said goodbye to our new friend untill Thursday when we were going to meet up again for dinner with his wife also. Back at the hotel we grabbed some Panini went to our room for a beer or 2 Wednesday we had to be at the Main train station at 9am for our trip to Neuschwanstein with Radius Tours. We picked up our tickets and hit a cafe downstairs for breakfast. I had a buttered soft pretzle ring, Karl had a sandwich and Gma got a pastry, I think the kids had eaten at the hotel. We met up with our guide at 9:30 and soon boarded the 1st of our trains which left us in Buchloe for an hour because we missed the connecting train!!! There was muntiny in the air...the 90 degree sticky air. By the time the next connection came the next train from Munich had arrived so we all preesed onto 1 train with not nearly enough seats. 1 hour later we arrived at our next stop which was a bus...with you guessed it not enough seats...Mutiny I tells ya so we squirted off that bus 10 min later at the base of the Mtn that Neuschwanstein sits on straight into tourist hell. It is a 40 min walk up to the castle we had 55 min before our tickets expired....Gma took the horse carriage, the kids took the minibus and for some sick sick reason I walked. Jess thought I had sunburn when we met at the top...nope, just about to pop a gasket Castle is very pretty...save 47Euros and your sanity ...buy a picture of it in Munich and dont bother with the trip We had much better luck with the transportation back to town and after a cool shower were ready for dinner. The kids wanted Mexican So they took off back into town. We wanted Pizza We have decided to try pizza wherever we go so that is what we did, less than a block from the hotel was Bella Italia with nice garden seating and 12 inch pies which we stuffed ourselves with. I had a mixed seafood pie and the others ordered a couple of Salami pies and a Salami, mushroom and hot pepper combo... And we ended a very hectic tiring day with that and a few beers. T pics to come ...

Now you are forgetting the Many kinds of Porridge...for some of us the first thought was Rice not Oats...so now you have your soup because rice and mushroom soup is good... Congee How about some toasted Oat or Rice bran in your salad dressing Cream of wheat....somewhere Polenta....fried Polenta balls stuffed with cheese and ham Porridge away sir tracey

There is actually a new Creperie in Fairlawn...let me find the info.... t

Lets see....Skin on the roast pork...of course - very crispy and just a touch sticky too This is our lunch stop in Mittenwald...all the boys with our new friend Zappa on the left with his Goldwing And this would be what I saw when I turned and stepped to my left there was another one across the street too Lunch here was long and tasty Kurt and I ordered the Venison Stew each of us was served a portion big enough for 4 people and a bowl of homemade spatzle was placed between us...best spatzle Ever.. Karl and Zappa both got the roast pork with sauerkraut and potato dumplings no food pics didnt want Zappa to think we were freaks and leave us somewhere Somewhere like on the side of the road in Austria or perhaps 1550 metres up a mountain actually I wouldn't have minded if they let walk back down that road but this time if I turn around...there is a restaurant on top of this mountain...there was a tour bus from Italy also...the road up to this was a freekin goat path, a very well paved goat path but still I wouldn't to meet a bus on a blind corner. t

Monday evening finished with a stroll and a picture review over a few beers back in our room. The kids took off for parts unknown ...I have to keep remembering they are over 21 and could be on this trip alone Tuesday was my hubby and his brothers big day, and I was along for the ride (ha ha) The kids were going to the Zoo and GMa was supposed to go shopping, she ended up at Dachau We grabbed a roast beef Panini in the cafe and hoisted a duffle bag down to the subway. I was a little worried about the outcome of this day as alot was riding (get it) on the kindness of a stranger we had yet to meet... Two weeks before the trip I emailed a local for some advice, who after being confused about where I found his email, asked what I needed help with. After a little chat of this and that I told what I really needed was someone to take a day off of work and come out to play with us. "No Problem what day?"...Tuesday the 27? ...Ok Then we get to the hotel and have no internet...I got 5 mins to check my mail Monday afternoon and give him the last bit of info but as it turns out he made a bunch of calls and found US We arrive at the motorcycle rental place to get a message from the confused manager that Zappa called and will arrive soon We rented a pair of BMW R1200RTs and with the wonderfull Zappa leading the way on his Honda Goldwing we head for Mittenwald and Austria

Would that be liptauer??? I am so in the mood for some of this food. What a great trip! ← oops its called Obatzer or Obatzda and is made from Camembert and butter with seasonings....very similar to Liptauer t

Who said a piggy aint pretty?? http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=67661 page 19 post #556

Icelandic butter...I stood at customs saying, well I have some candy you know chocolates...well they're not all chocolate and things like chips...oh ummm 1 bag of those is open is that OK? just to make me shut up they sent me on my way tracey

Where was I ....Monday evening we went back to a place we tried last year We decided to sit inside after a minor collision with a waiter outside again 3 of us got the same dish ox, lamb, bacon, and sausage over panfried potatoes with a basil butter on the side I split mine with my M-I-L for some of her cheese spatzle the other dish ordered Jaegar Schnitzle which I had last year...breaded pork cutlet with panfried spatzle and a rich mushroom gravy t

Ok back to Sunday night at the Hoffbrau roast pork with a bread dumpling and a potato dumpling, also a big slab of crispy skin on the side under all the vegetation is a scoop of paprika and caraway cheese spread one more dessert....Bavarian cream it was a good night

Lets see ... Magic Pan Philly Steaks ...my first hot peppers Baskin Robbins a Chinese place? Hot Potato Salad place? what else? T

I have no idea if we had anything planned for Monday morning but after trying to confirm vague plans for Tuesday hubby and I split off to find where we needed to be on Tuesday AM. The kids went their way, I think they headed straight for Englisher Garden and GMa and Kurt went off also... We made our way across town by train and with 2 sets of almost directions went out the wrong subway entrance and walked all the way around the Siemans campus. We did confirm our special plans and headed to the Chinese Tower beer garden in the park to meet everyone at 3. We headed for the food stands And I ended up with Schweinhaxen (roast pork) and a Big Pretzle and some of course T

Thank you all for the Welcome heidih...this was a basic warm sweet and sour red cabbage I love the stuff, but come to think of itthat was the only cabbage I had all week Last year I kept ending up with white cabbage salad with everything I ordered, nice enough but I like the red better For all that the Hoffbrau should have been tourist "crap food" it certainly wasn't, it was loud and the staff was slammed ( a few days ago I noticed a mistake on the bill, in our favor) I wouldn't rule it out for food quality. T

Here we have a rather lovely sausage sampler also at The Hoffbrau, all 3 of the guys ordered this...the whipped potatoes were to die for My camera kinda freaked at this point so I donated 2 of my batteries to the kids and have yet to load their pics in so we will revisit this place later...I do have my B-I-L's picture of Dessert though, we both got this. Kaiserschmaren...torn up pancakes with warm applesauce and powdered sugar I stole some whipped cream from Karl's apple strudel too T
