today it is Sauerkraut and cooked pears. It could be a typical Dutch dish, or it is a typical German dish...not sure. But the dutch eat a lot of sauerkraut in wintertime

[MissLisa_since1999]

And another recipe for our Jamily cookbook!! Is it a sweet and salty dish??
Really don't know anything about Dutch food... except Gouda!
I think Sauerkraut is Choucroute in France... and I thought it was a German dish but my friends told me it was an Alsacian dish just last week!! So who is right, who???

[StormeyG]

you are right Miss Lisa, it's choucroute in france. according to Wikipedia it is originaly from China or Mongolia and is eaten mostly in the east of Europe. Yes, Google is my friend
It is actualy my least favorite vegetable and this is a recipe for children, sweet and sour together. With a thick layer of Gouda on top, I can eat anything

sauerkraut is the vegetable cabbage, just pickled, right?

I only like it on a Reuben sandwich with lots of Thousand Island dressing!

I love Reuben sandwiches ......The name always makes me think of The Partridge family's manager for us seniors who remember the show

Berry-Cherry-Brownies (cranberries and cherries)

So you inspired me StormeyG...those desserts looked delicious and festive! But it got me craving brownies. So I looked in my cupboard for ingredients. Only had white cooking chocolate so I found a recipe for white chocolate brownies and substituded orange extract in place of the vanilla extract that they called for. And used chopped almonds instead of macadamias. Turned out very nice! not as pretty as those though

Uhuu! some other good ideas for Christmas and New Year!
Ooooooh brownies... It's been too long since I haven't made that... I actually don't really have time to cook...Roll on the holidays!! (only a week to go before... )
The pudding is "elegant" if I can say that...Just imagine it on your Christmas table... it manages to cause a bit of a stir, for sure!!

Orange and chocolat is very nice!!! Good one. They sound very nice. Sorry that I got you eating chocolat though
