Heard from a friend who told me to try Schmidt’s, a sausage house nearby. Will do!
Today I found Weisswurst in the prepared sausage section of Whole Foods. Never have I found that item at any butcher or deli. So tonight is German Night. My dad is German/Swiss so this is for our ancestors. Weisswurst is a white veal sausage.Mom always served it with brown gravy. Mine’s a mix tonight.
I’m going to slowly saute it until it browns and heats through, without bursting. Also, I’ll make rosti, shredded potatoes. And just to keep the theme going, my grandmother’s cucumber salad with apple cider vinegar and sugar. Plus I’ll cook up some cherry tomatoes to mess with things and make it “Dee.”
Spoke with a Greek lady today, who cooked for Greek Orthodox Easter on Sunday. Twenty-eight guests! She found a Serbian grocery that spit-roasted an entire lamb for her! Cool lady and she gave me their card. It’s not a spot one would go to (Lucky Mini Mart?) but behind the scenes it’s a thriving Serbian scene with sausages et al.
Plus, on weekends they spit-roast an entire pig and a lamb and sell it by the pound. I’m salivating already and haven’t even been there. We’ll check it out next weekend.
Sorry I’ve been remiss in writing. My list grows longer and time grows shorter and there’s a glitch with everything, like Jim’s shirts are sitting in another guy’s apartment, and his former employer messed up his W-2 so we owed money instead of getting a little back.
Credit card hacked, double-charging my card for flights, everything becomes an “issue” and I’m ready, as soon as we move to the place that I want (another issue) to settle down to a normal life.
For now I want to meet more “locals,”see some museums, some Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, eat German, Polish, Russian, Jewish food. Walk on the beach with the dog. And Jim, my husband, of course. Get the snow tires changed to all-weather. And pay my new bills online. After the taxes are re-filed. Cheers! Dee
