Beef Stew

~~*~~

My Mother-in-Law has a wonderful potato sausage made up at a sausage company nearby where she lives. Lucky her! I know of none where I live that would do this for me. She serves this very Scandinavian Sausage with cranberry sauce. Also on her Christmas holiday table are some other wonderfully flavored items. Presulta, which is a recipe for meat loaf essentially. (That recipe is also posted, find it on my article list on this ezine) Presulta is served cold with white vinegar making it 'very' unique. Traditional Swedish Rice Pudding that is served hot. Swedish Corn Pudding, often a children's favorite, mine when I was growing up anyway. Twenty Four Fruit Salad, which I really cannot say how Scandinavian that is but it sure is yummy. She has alternatives to that salad as well, one is called Easy Twenty Four Hour Salad and the other one is called Easier Twenty Four Hour Salad. Too cutie huh?!

I grew up with different things and served my children those things but many of those Christmas traditions to start withe children have fallen to the wayside.

EVERY single Christmas Eve of my whole like I have had Oyster Stew. I always made sure my daughters had just a taste as well to continue on with the tradition. There have been many Christmas' since that we have not been together so since they always hated oyster stew that tradition for them is long gone. Oh well, new ones arise for new days and outlooks.

Here is my Mother-in-Laws recipe for Potato Sausage:

USE EQUAL PORTIONS:

Beef
Pork
Potatoes

Have meat ground together at the butchers. season with salt (1 tsp.) per pound of ingredients) add pepper to taste.

Pack in casings. ( Eww, I know, lets just not go there OK?)

Boil 1/2 hour.

If you can't find casings, ( or simply refuse to go there) you can go ahead and make them into patties and fry them over low heat.

Serve this sausage ( or patties for the squeamish ) hot with cranberry sauce. It is the cranberry sauce that makes the difference here so that is a total must!

These dishes mentioned are obviously not just meant for holidays of course so do try Potato Sausage, I think you will love it.

Am I still eating Oyster Stew every Christmas Eve? Yes indeed I am!

Family traditions are one of the most important things that can be transmitted to your children. In turn, guide their children and soon the family can not even remember where he was born - but everyone respects the traditions.

This cohesion within the family, not only to reach the birth parents, but also those who join the family by marriage. This allows families working in coordination with each other. If you think you have no tradition of family -request that the adult children of your family - most of us are surprised by the response. Even if you do not know what they are, usually, your children can remember things that make a family tradition. strengthen these customs and traditions of the family, and your heart warm.

In our family - we have a tradition of black-pot - it goes like this:

As far as anyone can remember - was always the same place. My grandmother thought thatthere, and his mother, and her mother before her. They were treated like a piece of art value. Although many houses as he passed underneath, he was always on top of the refrigerator of the oldest matriarch.

The Iron Pot Black was launched size - seemed to weigh a ton. It 's always been a groan of one who was to take his perch. the time when each family member of a small child, we learned what it means when it was appropriate on the stove.

There were only two reasons to start that big pot. Or someone is married or buried. The boys used to joke that it was the same - but the mothers never found it very funny. This meant that there was a pot family reunion. Uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews - all people who almost never seen, appeared at the end of the day. And the stew is ready. A long list of family time, house of beef> Stew, biscuits, real butter and jam - that's how we met the family.

When the stew to cook, we said that if there was a wedding or a funeral, but no words. The grandmother pulled the old record player and we heard an Elvis Presley increases. When my grandmother sang "Nearer My God to Thee" We knew that family member of a home to be with Jesus walked. Every song was a first marriage. There was no problem to know what was the grandmotherHe said the "old school" where you say what you mean. As a grandmother and another out of his place as guardian of the matriarch and pot the black, took the news the same person. When the jar was placed in service, playing the same record, singing the song when in the mood for the home.

When people started in the afternoon, arriving in half, the stew was done - were the cookies from the oven at the same time, theSwing door began. Braces rarely seen by aunts and uncles came first, then the cousins "conversations about who was the highest, get the best grades, and everything we could think of killing time. Soon Grand mother was in the door and shouted:" Soup "- we are all lined up in the dining room. Sure, there were not enough chairs, but there were many dishes. grandmother employees, coverage of a cookie in the bottom of each bowl, and with manyBeef stew. Only a buffet with bowls and swallowing. All the while the men were on one side of the room as to make an important decision. Talk, which requires the blessing - it was really an academic debate - is the oldest man, who was praying. It 'was a very ancient tradition and probably because some old come, even if you do not feel - they hoped to lead the prayer.

During the prayer was the first time someone has said, byAccording to what has been collected. Those who led, was responsible for bringing to the attention of the Lord that we were all there. This was the confirmation of our family. Common prayer, the family tradition that we had and we all know how important it was. Nobody - from youngest to oldest - except about the prayer. We kept my head down and eyes closed, this is what we have learned and should be - until it's time to say "Amen" was, which was repeated by all awesomein the room.

After the prayer was over, we got the food company - said he sent - or at meetings of the alien among us. One who is always ready, our family was saved - it was time to learn our tradition. However, this party was, they went home to the Lord, or should be somebody to marry.

Soon, black-pot was washed, the fridge and put it back on top. Againservice in advance.

Sometimes we forget the importance of tradition and we are all family members. They are the backbone of our childhood memories, is a wonderful thing, traditions and customs, to transmit to our children.
