Al, I have to tell you that it is one of my very favorite meals. My Mother used to make her own Saur Kraut
back in the old days along with her Mother and Sisters. They made wash tubs full of it and then canned it.
We ate it all Winter. Saur Kraut is not meant to be sour when you eat it. The stuff we get these days needs
to be rinsed with water to get a lot of that out. Then add a bit of brown sugar sprinkled over it in a roasting
dish. Add pork ribs on top and let it bake with the meat juice seeping down and flavoring the Kraut. When
the ribs are just about done Carol bastes them with BBQ sauce and then lets that thicken in the oven.

My Mother didn't have BBQ sauce. We had never heard of that in those days, but just the meat juices made
it really good.

Of course in those days they butchered their own pigs and rendered all the lard and such. Aaaahhh, the good
old days.

My neighbors sister does homemade sauerkraut. We are lucky to get some from her. It is awesome. I havent bought any store bought for a while and Im not sure which brand I would buy if I had to.

[cooperhawk]

We actually get it at Walmart. It's in the cold case in a plastic bag. Never frozen. All Carol
does is put it in a calendar and wash it with fresh water for a few minutes.

While we were doing the Memorial Day Services there was a break midway for sandwiches, and then
when we were done more sandwiches and beer. I seldom drink during the day, but I did enjoy a beer
with them. Then home and I had a Hamm's while waiting supper. Supper was pork ribs over Saur Kraut
slowly roasted and the BBQ sauce basted on just before serving. It's one of my favorite meals. Another
Hamm's with supper. BURP!
Later on a martini and strawberry shortcake.

It was a good day and I slept very well.

Hey Coop,

Saw this Hamms Beer Bear for sale on our local site and thought of you. I have to say other that the classic Rainier ads from the 70’s the Hamms ads featuring the Beer Bear are probably the best beer ads. Enjoy your Hamms!

Got these at Fred Myers, with the extra digital coupon they were $5.59 a pound, cheaper than hamburger. Picked some wild asparagus the other day so steak, asparagus and a baked potato tonight.

Yes, Ribeyes are my favorite steak. Used to broil or grill them but I've found like them best just seared in a hot pan and then put them in a 400 degree oven for around 5 minutes, I do like my steaks very rare.

Yesterday afternoon we had a bunch of the children and grand children over for a cookout and to
visit with our oldest daughter who is visiting from New York.
It was a beautiful afternoon and evening for it. We sat on the deck and ate snacks, and then
carol made beer brats and I cooked burgers on the Blackstone. She made her
really good potato salad and two deserts. A Chocolate pie and Rhubarb Tort, (my favorite).
We drank soft drinks for some, but Hamm's beer in cans for myself and son in law. Then a couple
of martinis and I slept really well.
Oh yeah, the Grandson and I swam in the pool for a while, just us two, and had a nice talk about his
plans for the future. He just graduated from High School.

It was a good afternoon and evening. Now the house is eerily quiet again. I miss them, but I do like the quiet as well.
