Good Morning

Ah, good morning all. It's another beautiful overcast day here in Central Ohio with the promise of April's unending showers continuing  this month. I think I shall start my dinner around three this afternoon, considering that it takes four hours to cook. It's a receipe hijacked from Greymo. I say hijacked because I made a couple of changes.
 
What it is, bascally, is baked sauerkraut with kielbasa. But I begin by cooking up some bacon (with a tip of the [unearned] toque to CTF) in a deep, 12-inch skillet, then add some diced onion to the bacon fat, after removing the bacon to drain, to cook for a few minutes. While the onion cooks I chop up the bacon. Then I add the bacon back into the pan with the onions and dump in a two pound bag of sauerkraut. After mixing the sauerkraut bacon and onions I put it all into a casserole, pour in enough beer to cover, and then stick it into a 350-degree oven for three hours. Once every hour during that time I stir up the whole thing and make sure there's enough liquid, adding more if needed. After three hours I add the kielbasa, pushing it down into the sauerkraut, and let it bake for another hour.
 
I love this stuff, and I always have Pommerey mustard for the kielbasa and rye bread and butter. My beverage of choice with this is Sam Adams Boston Ale.
 
But, as I began, good morning to all, and I hope you have day without clouds or rain -- unless, of course, you need a little precipitation for your lawns.
 
 

Very stirring.
 
Happy May Day to all.  I won't be dancing around any poles.

You mean that you have not learned how to pole dance  yet?

Well of course I have, but I'll never do it again!  

My memories of Mayday go back to being restricted to our base in Japan on May 1st. Rather than celebrate Spring, or Flowers and a May-pole, The Socialists in Japan, and many other countries celebrate the 'Uniting of the Working Class' against the Capitalist Warmongers of the World. To avoid incident's we stayed on Base and home-steaded tables at the NCO club consuming large amounts of working class beer !  Think Lucky Lager and Brew 102 at 5 cents a bottle, or Lowenbrau, San Miguel, or Tuborg for a dime. It was harsh duty, but we worked our way thru it.

Why?  Won't the Poles allow you do do it any more? 
 
May Day!  May Day!  May Day!
