2010 DOMM (From the Commissary Dept)

[Delmonico]

OK, Rick and I are starting to do some planning for meals.  Right now our plan is to arrive in the afternoon Wed and get unloaded and set up.  I'm sure we're going to have quite a few show up on Thursday and will have something planned for supper that night for those, as we get closer let me know if you will be there Thur. night. 

We'll do 3 meals on Fri and Sat and 2 on Sun. 

As always if anyone has any suggestions as to what they'd like to see or have anything they can't eat, speak up.  For those who have not eaten with the GAF Comminssary Dept. before, the meals will be filling,  breakfast will be hearty, the noon meal will most likely be a stew of some sort, bread of some sort and dessert.  Supper will be a main dish, bread and dessert, with some sort of a side dish or two.  Leftovers from the previous meal will be reheated and offered also. 

My food is as period correct as modern groceries will allow, everything will be made from scratch.  Unless anyone really has problems, butter and lard will be used, most folks don't have a problem eating like that once in a while.  But if anyone does have heath reasons why they should not, let me know and will cover you.  Same thing with food allergies, I understand, for such reasons there will be no dishes with Blu Cheese in them, not only can the cook not eat them, even touching that damned moldy cheese can cause problems which would require someone else to finish the meal cause when we head to town I'm takin' the Corpsman with me.

So, what you're saying is there's not going to be any Bleu Cheese for the salad again this year?

[Charles Isaac]

That all sounds like some more fine dining to me!  I have been craving a nice chunk of beef pot roast with vegetables, all seared up in lard or bacon fat.

The rancid cheese was definitely not on my wish list!

Del has my approval to fix anything he wants to. I have sampled most of the items that he prepares on a regular basis. It is all excellent. I can live without the Blu Cheese for a weekend.

OK, one vote for pot roast.  Always goes over good, just seems to me like I fix it to often.

Any one up to trying a Czech dish with kraut sweetened with brown sugar and tater dumplin's on top.  Has always went over good.  Gopher Grease used to call it out "I don't like kraut but I'll gladly take seconds" dish.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, I'm up for it!

[Charles Isaac]

I would like to try some of that and it sounds like it would go good with pork and some of that Czech rye. I'm not much for sauerkraut plain out of the barrel, but if you will spruce it up some, I like it very much.

[Texas Lawdog]

Anything that Del prepares is going to be good, I guarantee!

Woops, I meant it is cooked with pork in it.

[Delmonico]

Oh, and don't tell Mustang Greg we're gonna have that with Czech rye bread, I think we might get a visit from a black helly-copter if he finds out.  He'd also be expectin' a kolatch or two also.  Then he'd want jandernice and eggs for breakfast.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, Now you're trying to "spoil" him!

[Mustang Gregg]

 
Jadernice and eggs?   Oh, hell yes...I may go AWOL for that.

[Delmonico]

Jadernice and eggs?   Oh, hell yes...I may go AWOL for that.

Do you guys make it or would you rather I get it from Ron, Shusters or should I make a run to Wilbur and hit Karpisecis (sp)?  The best was from Wahoo, but a guy I used to work with Mom made some awful good stuff.

BTW don't tell them what's in it, some of these guys are a bit squeamish.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, I know anything that you cook up is going to be good.

[Pitspitr]

Oh man, Jadernice? I'll take mine with toast!

Kenedlicke and Zally? (Sauerkraut & Dumplings) another one of my favorites!

I'm lucky to be alive over Sauerkraut & Dumplings. One year my wife and mother-in-law were discussing who was bring what to Christmas dinner. My mother-in-law said she'd bring the Sauerkraut & Dumplings. I said, "Oh, let Cathy bring the Sauerkraut & Dumplings. Her's are.... better...than...(by this time I new I'd screwed up, but it was too late to not finish) yours." I ducked, anticipating the coming impact. When it didn't materialize I looked up as she pleasantly just said Oh, Ok. and from then on Cathy made (makes) the Sauerkraut & Dumplings for family diners. Lord this makes me miss Lucille again. She was a wonderful woman!

My in-laws always made their own. One time my Dad killed 3 hogs and my Father-in-Law asked if Dad were going to use the heads and livers. When dad said no Julius told dad he'd split the jaternice with dad if he could have the heads and livers. We stuffed casings until about 4 in the morning that night. Thankfully we didn't have  jaternice for breakfast that morning. I don't think I could have handled it that soon.

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Hell, I'm hungry already!

[Texas Lawdog]

Some of Del's Bisquits and Sausage gravy would hit the spot this morning, with a steaming pot of Arbuckle's on the fire.

[Mustang Gregg]

 
I'm really hungry now.  But dammit, I can't be there. 
But I can send out some venison sausage and fresh lard with Delmonico.

MG, I will do my best to make sure we don't have too many leftovers.
