Today I felt sorry for people who have to eat mainly
Restaurant food. We ate #Saurkraut with pork shoulder and boiled potatoes. Just
a basic supper but oh so delicious. You can’t get that in a restaurant, not
here, anyway.
Of course, it helps to have a wife who can cook. So I also
felt sorry for men who are married to a woman who cannot cook. It happens a lot
these days. The only option these men have is to learn to cook.
I’m not a cook. Okay, I’m not a complete dud, I can make
chicken or beef soup, I know how to boil or fry an egg. I know how to open a
can or package and make a soup (Oops, that’s not considered cooking. Anyone can
do that, I think.) Anyway, I’m lucky to be married to a woman who knows how to
cook and bake.
We use Hengstenberg Sauerkraut. Imported from Germany. We
love it because it is not too sour and there is plenty of kraut in the
container. It comes in a can. But just opening the can and heating up the
Sauerkraut does not do it. My wife puts in bacon pieces to give it more taste. The
pork shoulder she does in a Crock pot with onions and spices. Don’t ask me for
details. The meat is tender when it’s done. That’s all I worry about. With that
we eat boiled potatoes and lots of gravy.
Tonight I drank a Bitburger beer. Also imported from Germany. You
have to drink a German beer when you eat German Sauerkraut. Actually, I got
that beer from my son for my birthday. I am too cheap to buy imported beer. I
usually drink Canadian beer, which, come to think of it, isn’t cheap either.
Our government wants to make too much profit on the alcohol we buy. Aah, I got
carried away again with that pet gripe of mine!
The problem with good food is that we eat too much of it. It
just tastes so darn good. Tomorrow I’ll be smoking Goldeye again. We still have
a few in the freezer, but they are coming to an end. It’s time for the fishing
season to start again so we can on the lake, but the way the weather is, I have
my doubts about that happening soon.
What was on your dinner plate tonight? I hope your supper was
as good and tasty as mine.
