Oma's famous dinner

As I typed the title of tonight's blog it made me laugh. You see there are two stories I could tell you... I think I'll go with the safe one for now. My Mom (Oma) made a meal that was my family's favorite. Pork Roast, Sauerkraut and dumplings. Now some of you all were lucky enough to come over and eat the real deal! My Mom cooked by feel not by measuring. So when I asked her to show me how to make this meal there was a lot of heated conversation. She would end up doing her feel and I would be scooping up and measuring behind her! It's a meal that take's me back to my childhood the moment the Pork roast begins cooking with the onions in the oven. My Mom made the best gravy in the world. I've only came close to her gravy twice in my life. Once with this meal and once at Thanksgiving. As I was making the meal tonight I thought of the many times my Mom had made the meal and gave a silent thanks to God for blessing me with my German Mommy! It did make my heart feel good when my family told me thank's and how good it was tonight. Missing my Mom.

Remind me to tell you about my Mother's other famous meal sometime.
