During my college years, a group of friends and I would travel into Asheville NC and go to a place called "The Rathskeller" (original, what?!!) where we experienced our first tastes of wonderful deli-styled sandwiches.

It was where I encountered my first Reuben sandwich! Each sandwich was served with a dill pickle spear and hot German potato salad.

I've LONGED to taste that wonderful potato salad over the years, but have never attempted to replicate it. I have, however, found this recipe. It sounds a bit artery-distressing, but it also sounds marvelous, too.

German Potato Salad

Ingredients:
12 slices bacon
2 sliced hard cooked eggs
6 cups hot diced cooked potatoes
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vinegar
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
chopped parsley for garnish

Preparation:
Dice 6 slices of the bacon. Fry diced bacon along with the 6 whole slices in a heavy skillet. Remove whole slices to drain on paper towels; set aside.

Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, vinegar, and water; slowly add to diced bacon and bacon grease in the skillet, cooking and stirring constantly over medium heat until thickened. Pour over hot potatoes and eggs; add green onions and toss lightly to mix. Garnish with bacon slices and a little chopped parsley; serve hot.

German potato salad serves 6.

Love German Potato salad

I had a great evening of viewing.

I began with two episodes from the CLOSER disc set so I could finish out disc 3. The first was my least favorite episode from Season 3, the one with the Chinese lady killed on her tour bus. I did enjoy the continuing presence of Brenda's presence, but the crime story just wasn't that compelling.

And then the last episode on disc 3 involved the Homeland Security agent who was killed and eaten by coyotes. Good episode, and I remember being a little surprised by the killer's identity.

Next, I finished ELAINE STRITCH AT LIBERTY. The stories about her late husband are very moving and make for some of the loveliest moments in the show.

Next, I opened BURN NOTICE and watched the first two episodes. The pilot established the sassy, smart tone of the series (I'm not sure I ever saw the pilot. I didn't start watching the show until about four episodes into the season and went back to catch up with previous episodes during a marathon, but I don't remember anything about this, so it was nice to see it from the beginning. David Zayas was a principal guest star.

Next I watched the second episode (which I had seen) with the neighbor of Michael's mother being robbed of all her money and the VERY clever, involved scheme to get her money back to her.

And I concluded the evening by watching LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT. Excellent episode of what seemed to be almost random shootings but with a surprise killer. I certainly picked the wrong perp. Jessica Walter was the primary guest star.

Matt H. · « **Reply #283 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:38:38 PM »

Tomorrow I'll be sampling another Blu-ray review copy - the Disney family comedy COLLEGE ROAD TRIP. Doesn't sound promising, but I'll find out tomorrow.

I also got two more TV box sets for review in the mail today: Season 3 of THE HILLS was one. The other was a series about rich black kids that's on BET. I can't remember the name of it.

Finished with my viewing for the evening and I think I'll take a nice walk.

Well, 'tis time to get a couple hours of sleep...

Goodnight.

I'm tired all of a sudden.

Maybe it's because it's almost midnight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #288 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:57:11 PM »

I'm heading downstairs for bed myself.

Good night!

Did you LOL when the perp brought Goren into the back room and pointed to the tied up women and said something like, "This is Karen, she'll be Zach's (or whatever his name was) teacher next year."

I took a nice long walk, then decided that I needed some greens so I went back to Hugo's and had their Caesar Salad again - it's really light as can be, dressing-wise, and since I hadn't eaten since my sandwiches at 12:30, and since I did a full jog AND a walk, I thought it was okay to do.

On my walk I passed by a restaurant called Mexicali. It's one of those trendy jernts with mediocre nouveau Mexican food. Packed as always. The outside diners had HUGE plates of food in front of them, and I think we all know this was probably not their only meal of the day. I'm quite certain they all had lunch and breakfast, and probably not small either.

I am waiting to see if we are going to get a storm tonight. I am about to give up.

Where I've really amazed myself these past two weeks is in cutting down on the Diet Coke and drinking two bottles of water every day. I'm down from my six cans a day to two, along with the two waters. And, since I've begun jogging every day, I have not had one night where I've had heartburn or acid reflux, so I'm doing something right.

I'd bet no one could guess what the limited edition soundtrack is, but it's right there in Kritzer Time.

Well, only 400 more postings to a very large achievement. Bring it on. I didn't think it would happen by August as someone here suggested, but it just might.
