Hey.
This is a tequila fueled entry!
Been drinkin the stuff for 4 hours, with beer and wine, so lets see what the heck happens...
So I'm making a pork roast with stuffed potato dumplings, red cabbage and a apple/cranberry tart roll. (I'll put all the Germanic names in the final post if that wrks?)
This is a topping I make for over the dumplings and cabbage....bacon, green onions, red onion, garlic and thai peppers with a little bit of yellow fatalii....
Slobbering down some german infiuenced tequila with cranberries.....
Making the tart fruit base....apples and cranberries.....this is flambe'd with tequila, it doesn't have much sweetness 'cos it's going to be a base for the red cabbage, yee ha.
Making the filling for the dumplings, more bacon, green onion, garlic and feta cheese..etc
This is going to be my base for the red cabbage.
Now all the goodness comes out of the pork roast....the carrots, onions, thai peppers, garlic and pan juices....goes into the blender then into the sautee pan with mushrooms and beer for a deelish gravy...
So me dumplings are made....stuffed with bacon and feta cheese and green onion, boiled then pan fried in butter and OO.....
That's 10 up....BRB

Meaning you're not entering?!?! WTF???? Aren't microwaved hot dogs German???
Ok....last few teasers for the night....
So think of this as providing some crunch to the dish, a sort of apple sauce/pork thing....you'll see it in the final plating....
So now ...yum.....the roast pork is sliced and covered in mushroom gravy....the dumpling is split open and the feta mix is drooling out, the tart crisp served with the red cabbage and the onion bacon mix slathered over the top....oooooo...
More to come....
I can finish this tomorrow right?? it's been extended through monday?
Gotta go watch the Packer game, sober up then come back tomorrow and straighten this crap out?!!

Juju's Sauer-Crocken
Sauerbraten, Crock Pot style
Marinated rump roast for as long as I could (about 36 hrs)
Marinade:
beer
red wine vinegar
onions
lemon, sliced w/ peel
whole cloves
bay leaves
peppercorns (sorry Geeme!)
sea salt & shuga
and the juju factor...home grown Hawaiian Sweet Hot chiles!
Popped into crock pot sometime this morning...things were a little hazy...and cooked until the house was nice and fragrant!
For the gravy, I removed roast, strained broth, and added crumbled gingersnaps. Cooked until thick and creamy.
Red Savina Spaetzle:
flour, water, eggs, garlic salt, and my beloved red savina powder.
Boiled the dumplings in beef broth w/ Texas Creek spicy worchestershire sauce, then pan fried in butta.
Flamin' Red Hot Cabbage:
bacon grease
red cabbage
jalapenos
caraway seeds
red wine vinegar
red wine too!
beef broth
bacon bits
worch. sauce
...all washed down with a very special, Limited Edition Pilsner!

Schlusselstein Licht????Does Hank's carry that or did you get it at WallyWorld?
LOL, SL - You were the first to buy it!
Schlusselstein Licht
Thanks Wheebz. I should have had her dedicate it to my Dad. He was from Abenburg Germany (just South of Nuremburg). 1935-2010. He taught CJ alot about German cuisine, and I grew up eating it.
I think she actually got along better with him than I did... So what you said actually means a lot.
I'm stuffed!
