Thank you for the bag love. [emoji4]

Hehehe. And Kraut. I fear all those words describe us too well. [emoji85]

Well it does show where our interests lay. [emoji177]
I did some holiday shopping at the Outlet mall this morning.
I treated myself whilst there. I bought some pie plates and casserole dishes for Thanksgiving. And a new timer IMG_1479324817.605862.jpg
And this little cutie for my sparkly bag IMG_1479324861.343973.jpg
Reminds me of Cousin It from the Addams Family.

I just HAD to have it. Old time stopped working. Didn't want to replace with digital. Those are useless in my opinion. By the time the stupid thing THINKS about counting down, my waffles are overdone. Love a digital for a roast, but short periods are just too much of a challenge.

Omg, the charm has buck teeth?!?!
Love it!:love: Looks fab on bag, as if made for her.
Timer is adorable. I enjoy tick-tick timers--soothing noise.
Enjoy these goodies.:coolio:

Completely off topic, but it soooo interesting for me to see what kind of German words creep into the use of native English speakers. Angst, Kindergarten, Schadenfreude and now verboten.

We all want to be cool Germans.
Few of us learn enough to achieve this.
;)

Is bag today your "caramel apple" one?
Love the rich tone.:hbeat:
 
Inspired by the caramel apple bag and German words today I made this:

Don't know how it tastes yet, have to wait til it cools.
Looks delicious! Is it a sausage-and-potato casserole? The Hubster would LOVE this... he's crazy about sausages. (Me, not so much, but sometimes I surprise him with a sausage dish that I don't eat, just to keep him happy, LOL!)

Sausage, apple, onions, potatoes.
3 T sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 T parsley flakes.
Sauté first 4 items. Add next 4. Spray Pam on dish. Bake 30 min covered. Remove cover, 20 more minutes.
VERY man friendly.

I'm totally going to make this! Only without the onions. Poor guy can't handle them.
It would be a great weekend casserole... leftovers on Sunday with football!

Onions are not required. I just start most recipes with them.
You can cheat and start the potatoes in the microwave to get them half cooked.
The sauté part gives it a MANLY grilled texture. You can use any (or none) vegs that u like.

That's a really good idea about pre-cooking the potatoes. And I think I might do some fennel in place of the onions. Fennel is hearty, and would give a faint taste of licorice to the casserole. I use it a lot when I make soup & stew, so I know The Hubster likes it! :amuse:

As no one in the house likes fennel, I don't use it. You might want to sub out the apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar or even red wine.
Use your best guess. As stated, the sauté part followed by baking is what gives it the texture so just use what you like!

This looks greatly comforting sort of food!:drinks:

As vegetarian, some German foods are tricky.
Except the desserts. Those are fine.:biggrin:

But, I do make side dish, Himmel und Erde (Heaven and Earth).
Mashed apples & potatoes.
Often add caraway or nutmeg. Little honey or sugar.
Can whip with milk. Add butter.
Some add fried bacon bits & onions--but not me.

Would go well with your dish above, imo.

Ludmilla will share ideas, too. I hope.:graucho:
