I'm thinking that is because of being in Pennsylvania...near Pennsylvania-Dutch country, maybe? Anyway, it's a fabulous meal and such comfort food. kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-37825566257183663482013-01-08T12:59:15.233-05:002013-01-08T12:59:15.233-05:00Rett, Your food is ART!

You would never think it would be this delicious but it is. I do just like you but use the pressure cooker. I cook for 35 minutes, then add tiny potatoes with skins and pressure cook for five minutes more. We LOVE this meal. I buy a jarred saurkraut here that says "Bavarian style" and it has the added caraway seeds and a really nice flavor. I throw in all the juice too. <br /><br />Your other dishes are very inviting.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-53049893908360336482013-01-04T21:33:12.687-05:002013-01-04T21:33:12.687-05:00Your pork and sauerkraut looks scrumptious, I am g...Your pork and sauerkraut looks scrumptious, I am going to have to make it.

It is nice to see other people like some of the same things that we do. I can relate to health issues for the last few months, not quite like yours. My hubby is still in the nursing home and I fell injuring my knee on the ice. Your snowman cheese ball looks so yummy. Have a wonderful weekend. You family will be added to my prayer list for a speedy recovery.

Mickey was an excellent cook. She would drain and then rinse her sauerkraut and mix in some cabbage, too. Mashed potatoes were a must! I like to make pork schnitzel with red cabbage and apples and serve it with hot German potato salad. My dad used to love it and my whole family does now, too. I think I just talked myself into making it tomorrow!
