Time is of the essence.
And you ghouls that celebrate with the spooks and the black cats have little time to prepare.
Halloween is Thursday night!
But first, let me tempt your taste buds once again.
This was all Judy, as most of our meals are here in our quiet abode.
In the tradition of her ancestry, bratwurst and sweet potato chunks surround a partial head of cabbage, which was sauteed in Balsamic vinegar.
Did I say "our quiet abode".
As I'm sitting down to this I break into a loud chorus of, "Ja, das ist die Liechtensteiner Polka, ja, ja!"
If Google Translate is to be believed that translates to "Yes, that is the Liechtensteiner Polka, yes, yes!"
Which of course has absolutely nothing to do with the meal in front of me but it's been my tradition anytime she puts German food on the table.
I can be a bit of an ass.
I don't know that the side dish salad is of any particular national tradition but cantaloupe and watermelon sure go well with the other food.
And people, always lightly salt your melon slices; it brings out the sweetness even more.
But to get back to readying yourself for the big night ahead, just be careful with your costuming.
Das hat mich dazu gebracht, Bad Kissingen zu vermissen!
ReplyDeleteJa, ja.
ReplyDeleteI love cabbage, especially the sour kind. Balsamic would be very tasty. Not a fan of brats although I do like hot dogs. I know, weird.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound good, especially the cabbage. But salt on melons? Never!
ReplyDeleteDon't knock it 'til you've tried it, Granny Sue.
DeleteYou can keep the sweet potatoes, but the rest looks delicious. My mom always salted her watermelon. Every now and then, I'll salt a couple bites, just for the contrast.
ReplyDeleteOK, mostly I try to keep my sodium down. but I will try it on melon just for you.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious and the melons are very nicely presented. My sausages are still in the freezer, I forgot to get them out :(
ReplyDeleteI am craving stuffed cabbage.
