It was delish and Deej even loved the spaetzle! That was the big surprise for me. He hates pasta or noodles of any kind!

Yummmm! That looks wonderful!

Did you use pickle?
Did he like it?

I did use a quarter pickle in each one, plus some caramelized onions and mushrooms, and a slice of bacon. After searing on all sides, I added a Rouledan sauce mix and a half cup of red wine. It was sooooooo good! Deej says for me to make it anytime, absolutely anytime! I'm a good cook but he doesn't usually rave like that! What really surprised me most was that he liked the spaetzle which is a German type of noodle, and he hates any type of pasta!

There's one more serving but I promised it to my DM. I'm visiting her tomorrow, so Deej is out of luck.

We've been to German restaurants before and he was never that enthusiastic, so I'm so pleased he liked this meal!

Happygram, that's the best Hagadah I've every seen! I'll never forget my uncle leaning over gently to my cousin one year who was chanting on in Hebrew for hours, saying "Son, isn't there a shortened version some where? Don't get me wrong, you're doing a wonderful job, but could we maybe abbreviate this a little?" I was also thinking that the difference between Passover matzoh and "non-Passover" matzoh, is probably about 2 bucks.

grant is such a cutie steph. was he excited to see his easter basket in the morning? i took my nephew, TJ, his basket from us yesterday. he is 2 1/2, and he didn't really care much. just wanted to watch his "bee movie" that i got him. i got him sidewalk chalk too, but kinda hard to play with that with snow on the ground. lol. do you do "the easter bunny"? if so, next year he will understand that and will be a lot more excited. i miss the santa and easter bunny days (and tooth fairy and cupid). thanks, again, for sharing grant with us steph. hugs! tammy

Wow--thanks again, everyone. I guess sometimes I just wonder if I'm doing things right. You know, you get used to seeing the same thing day after day, so you just get used to it, even if it's hideous! I do love having a morning room. It was the ONE thing that my husband insisted on when we built the house, and I'm so thankful now that we did! funkyart: the flowers on the table are fresh cut from my garden...I've been working on a perennial/cutting garden for a few years now and it's finally paying off!! We're actually in WV, on the border of MD, but most of my family is from PA, so we know Boscovs. It is gorgeous...we're on our way to the pool as soon as I'm off the computer! parma42: I like the idea of putting 2 pictures there. That would fill the space more. I'll have to be on the lookout for a good deal (which I love to do!!). daisyadair: thank you! The window treatments are actually from Lowes. They are single straight valances, but I pinned them together and added the little pull up part in the middle. It was one really straight long line when we first hung them, so I'm happy they turned out. The desk I found at Home Goods, and it was 20% off b/c it had a little scratch on it (which I fixed easily with a black permanent pen). I'll hand the desk over any day to you, if the bills stacked on it can go with it!! :) bodica: Thank you. So you saw my next room we are working on too!! The color is SW Pennywise. I fell in love the picture that is hanging in there, and worked the room around it. I did the first floor bathroom in SW Spicy Hue (which is one shade darker) as well. Once the house is clean, I'll post more pictures. Oh, and I should give my DH credit for the crown molding/chair rail and picture frames on the lower half of the dining room. He just finished them a few weeks ago. :) Here's my 2nd attempt at the pictures:

AWWWW! Cute family CR! The kids have a dalmation/boxer(we think) mix that has that same curled lip.We call her Elvis when she does that.LOL She looks like a Dalmation bodywise,white with black spots,but has a boxer look to her face and the underbite.Wonder if that is a Boxer trait? She also drools a lot.Especially when the babies have a tantilizing morsel that she would like to get her chops on.LOL

I haven't had Rouledan in 30 years, my XMIL fixed it for my family. Like I said before though, she used capers rather than pickle. She was Polish/Hungarian and just called it "steak rollups". But, it was basically the same recipe.

That does look good.

Can I ask.........
How do you pronounce that?

Maybe use "sounds like" for parts of the word.

Hayjud, if you're talking about 'spaetzle', it is pronounced 'shpetzler'. My DSis has given me so many lessons on the proper pronunciation, I've finally gotten it! LOL! This one was already cooked and frozen, so all I had to do was thaw it, and fry it in a little bit of oil until it was heated through. Once it was covered in the sauce, Deej thought it was corn! I didn't know whether to tell him the truth or not! LOL!

Sorry, I should have made it clear.
The pronounciation I was wondering about is for Rouledan.

You know you are making many of us hungry and there will be a rash of meals mades in the next few days. lol The power of sugestion.....

I don't know how accurate they were, but my Danish in-laws pronounced it "row-LA-den."

well, I just called Hayjud and told her, Rouladen, Spaetzle and Rotkraut.

She laughed. Anyone else wants to know the proper pronunciation give me your phone number and I will tell you.

LOL
