Memorable Moments

Not much has happened the last few weeks around here, except some little things worth telling
and one gigantic thing that will blow normal peoples mind!!

To start with, last week I received my delivery of swiss made Cervelat, Landjager, Mettwurst and plenty of Thomy Senf. I sure will enjoy this special threat.
I am planning to have a "Waldfest" for lunch today.

A " Waldfest" is a simple peeled cervelat served cold 

with some fresh french bread and Thomy Senf 

Furthermore, since I have the good mustard I can make the real Montricher salad dressing.
Of course the following recipe works fine with French`s yellow mustard.

MONTRICHER DRESSING

    (Quantity for 1 bowl of salad)

1  small diced onion

3  cloves peeled, chopped garlic

1  tsp maggi seasoning

3  tbl yellow mustard

3  oz  white vinegar

½  fresh lemon juice

salt, pepper and aromat to taste

 *

1oz vegetable oil

Mix all ingredients in a bowl except oil.

Wisk in oil slowly.

This was the original dressing I was using in all the hotels I worked at. Very popular with all the costumers, but since most dressings here in America are creamy, (ranch, blue cheese, french, thousand island, etc) I needed to develop a Creamy Montricher. Here it is:

CREAMY MONTRICHER DRESSING

 

1  small diced onion

4  cloves peeled garlic

1  tbs maggi seasoning

3  tbs yellow mustard

1  each whole egg

5  oz  white vinegar

½  fresh lemon juice

 salt, pepper and aromat to  taste

*********

App. 2 ½ cup vegetable oil

 

But all ingredients except the oil in a blender.

Blend well and add oil slowly until dressing becomes

thick and creamy.

 Enough food for today, lets go to the terrifying story about the flying dog.

Donna and I were sitting outside on the deck having a glass of wine
with Teddy sleeping by our feet. He must have turned the wrong way
when he woke up, because he slipped through the rail and fell 10 feet to the ground.
He landed with a little yelp, which made us realize what happened.
I ran downstairs and carried him back up. Donna and I checked him
out and found absolutely nothing wrong with him.
He is over 17 year old (120 in human years) and still going strong.!!

Super Teddy

And now the blow your mind thing. 

We celebrated Brian’s birthday the other day with a pool party in Daniel and Gina’s house. Guess what, Brian drove to the party in his brand new birthday gift from his father.
