In honor of our favorite Patron Saint of Children, 4H Champ and family host a wonderful gathering. This time we were treated with the presence of the iFarmer’s Twin and another lovely couple.
My luck, one of the guests is a purchaser for a pork plant in Chicago. I could have picked his brain all night, but didn’t want to bore the rest.
As usual, 4H Champ had a fantastic Germanic spread with Roladen (thinly sliced beef stuffed with ham, mustard and pickles), red cabbage, mashed potatoes, wax beans, sauerkraut, and brats. And, of course, oranges. This time, I brought empty containers for leftovers. I didn’t want to be overly presumptuous, so I erred by only bringing two containers. Big mistake. Next year, I’ll be more prepared.
I love that when I eat at my sister-in-law’s house that I can stretch that meal to at least one more supper and a lunch or two.

So glad you could come.All the food was off to me.One slight correction..The Rinderrouladen (Beef rolls) have onion, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, pickles and bacon inside.Someday, I am going to make a German Spicy version for you and i farmer. When I was in Germany, they made them and called them Feuerwagon (fire truck)! They used a very hot spicy mustard in the roll.What a treat to be together again so close to our last gathering.
