Soon I will have to drive Dear Mother's van to pick her up from her reunion dinner. I dropped her and her Jazzi off at 5:30, by this time, the dining should be done (Chicken Cordon Bleu or Beef Wellington) following hors oeuvres, speeches and music (by my cousin-in-law cop who moonlights as a deejay).

I'll bet you are a good cook.

Sunday evening, we're having a good old-fashioned low German dinner: Soured Meat and Glace. Hearty and recommended.

I loved the cover of the reunion book. When was that picture taken?

Is the meat supposed to be soured?

td 57 is an odd number to have a reunion. Do they have one every year? Either way, it is very nice & I hope she had a wonderful evening.

They agreed after the 55th, that since they're not getting any younger, to do one at two and three year intervals, hence the next one will be the 60th in 2010. . . .

We had a nice walk, and Sugar was fascinated by the feeding of the ducks.

You take a nice eye of round. Roast it until tender. Let cool. Cube cooled meat or pull apart into nice sized chunks.
To the pan drippings add cider vinegar and pickling spices. Fold in corn starch or flour dissolved in water until thickened as gravy. Add meat.
Let sit overnight in fridge. Serve over glace* the next day.

*Glace are a kind of heavy, boiled potato dumpling, filled with buttered toast squares.

That's probably why I like it so much - it ain't Hemingway. . .
