Yikes!, DR Pen, who needs the aggravation?

And a men's Croatian klapa ensemble, whom I worked with when i was AD of Radost Folk Ensemble, sang at the auction - how beautiful that music is, how moving when you get to hear it live!

PennyO · « **Reply #92 on:** November 05, 2007, 09:21:05 AM »

Hiya, Ginny! Yes - some of it is WAY more aggravation than I'd like - but I'm an old Folkie from the sixties, and my personal mission is the preservation and stewardship of these music and dance traditions for the future... it's why I still pick up a guitar and sing the old songs every chance i get. Try to Remember...

Plus - it's a great salary and benefits package, for the trouble...

Knoephla soup is a regional delicacy

Interesting. I hadn't heard of this before, and had to look it up.

Onions and potatoes in a chicken broth, with the knoephla (small egg and flour dumplings) cooked in the boiling broth, and cream added at the end when the knoephla and potatoes are cooked. It's origins are from Germany. Sounds tasty.

Jose, congratulations to DB Jay. I enjoyed the photos & reading about his run. Continued vibes for DB Mike & his family.

TD- CONGRATULATIONS on your swift success!

DR Elmore, sending you a big hug. i wish i could knock some sense, & compassion into your difficult brother. when my sister had me in tears or screaming my brother calmed me down by reminding me, it could be worse-we could be her.

remember you are loved by many, many people who know & value the person you are.

DR JoseSPiano -

You do seem to have a thing for fellows named "Steve"!
...

Der Brucer never leaves me alone with him!

(That's what the "S" stands for, of course.)

TOD:
For some reason, my culinary excursions to date have never really included making much soup; I make chicken stock by the gallon every few months, but that's about it. Surprising, because I love just about every hot non-tomato-based soup I can think of... chicken, vegetable, potato-leek, squash, french onion... bring 'em on, and have a second bowl ready, please! Favorites include a spicy wheat-berry soup that my mother used to make regularly, and now almost never does, and grunkern (roast spelt) soup, a delicacy amongst the German-Jewish denizens of my neighborhood.

And, fercryinoutloud, do *I* have to be the first to point out the following line from today's post?

I wonder what our esteemed BK meant when, in today's notes, he mentioned getting some "toy food" from Gelson's.

I was wondering about that, too...

Hello, everyone!

Sing-check your email.

Absolutely NO TIME to myself today. Will try to be back later.

But first...

singdaw · « **Reply #102 on:** November 05, 2007, 09:41:53 AM »

DR PennyO - sounds like a hornet's nest! But if you still want the job, I certainly hope that they come to their senses and hire you, lickety-split!

DR SWW - I felt, for SURE, that one of your posts today was going to read something like:

Thus says bk: When I RANT, I am RIANT!

I guess MR BK has showered his shortly.

Wow DR PENNYO - sounds like these organizations are ALIKE everywhere you go.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #107 on:** November 05, 2007, 09:46:17 AM »

Speaking of soup, I was thinking about fixing up some French Onion tonight. Following Julia Child's recipe, of course.

(What's great about making a batch of the French Onion is that, later on, what's left over makes a great braising liquid for pot roast!)

S. Woody White · « **Reply #108 on:** November 05, 2007, 09:51:20 AM »

I just realized something strange -

Much as I love beets, I've never had borscht!

It is especially good on a cold winter's day.

There are a lot of Germans in North Dakota and throughout the plains. Ironically depending what part of the state or German group is closest to you there are slight differences but the basics are the same. Germans from Russia have a more spartan recipe and the Reichsduetschers will sometimes add a bit of meat. My grandmother would sometimes add a bit of shredded beef or chicken if she had some left over.

Really nice, DR JRand57! Thanks!!!

I saw some gorgeous fall foliage views driving down the Merritt Parkway on my way to work this morning. However, I decided not to try to snap them while traveling 65 mph on a narrow, 2-lane highway.

Sounds a lot like kreplach to me.... good stuff, no matter how you go. There's also Kartoffelklosse (potato dumplings); one of my first recipes from the Joy of Cooking, and a key weapon in my arsenal for wooing The Lovely Wife(tm).

Sheesh, now I'm getting hungry...

Thanks to DR SINGDAW (just keep driving), DR JANE and DR DAKOTA CELT - our trees will be nakey as well within a week or so I am thinking.

BUT I WANT SOME RED LEAVES!!!!!

I do not like soup, although I can take chili now and then.
