corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, onions & carrots horseradish, oh, and I forgot the Guinness Extra Stout. . . . We did ours in the slow cooker and it came out perfect.

I KNEW this thread would get to a food & drink discussion! And that's just fine!

The name "Baue" comes, I suspect, from the German verb bauen, which means "to build."

As in "Bauhaus?"

[bcsco]

A good pun is its own reword.

Now that's a tagline fitting for your talents, if ever there was!

[Charles Henrickson]

As in "Bauhaus?"

Ja, das ist gewißlich wahr.

Bauhaus = "House of building"

I KNEW this thread would get to a food & drink discussion! And that's just fine!

Absolutely! And ethnic food & drink are the pinnacle of culinary and spirit effort, IMO. Far better than the pap we've come to live with these past several decades.

Your mention of Chicago again brings back some memories of my own. My aunt (actually great-aunt) Sonya was like the Auntie Mame of Chicago and my father was like the nephew in the play and film. Aunti Mame-Sonya was married to the guy who ran the VERY WELL KNOWN Maurice Seymore photo studio in Chicago. All the show biz folks in the mid-west went to that studio for their photos. Meanwhile, my father the orphan boy was being shuttled from family to family because he was sort of a trouble maker. Nobody wanted him EXCEPT for Auntie Sonya. She showed him a terrific time in Chicago and years later the same with me when I was passing through that city. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY knew Aunt Sonya. For example, we went to a nightclub and the owner and the performers all knew her. Well, I guess because of the photo studio she knew everybody in showbiz in Chicago.

Weird thing is that her husband was one of the most completely introverted people I ever knew. Basically no personality. Yes, he was a great photographer but he was a complete dullard. Once he was visiting us in Florida and I actually got shocked when he burst out laughing when some skier on the tube in Olympic trials fell cartwheeled. It was so unusual an outburst from him that I still remember it.

Anyway, it was his wife that brought all the business to their photo studio. Ask any oldtime Chicagoan and most of them will remember Maurice Seymore Photo Studio.

p.s. I had another Aunt Sonya who was universally hated but that's another story.

[X-FID]

Your problem is that you didn't drink enough alcohol after you ate the cabbage. drink at least 6 mugs of Guiness followed by an equal number of shots of either Jamison's or Bushmill's Irish Whiskey. Then puke. You won't notice the cabbage so much after that.

I recommend criminally bad elf barleywine, try it you'll like it:)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh, I love it! Good job!

[Purrcival]

OK, I’ve missed something. Who’s Jumby? Is the wife preggers?

[E Rocc]

Don’t forget that spaghetti noodles are of Chinese origin and tomatoes orginally came to Italy from the Americas.

Looking forward to my own corned beef and cabbage, I make it every year and had it twice this year already!! A little actual Irish in my veins..Foley was my grandmother’s maiden name, she was born in Montreal!

[PJ-Comix]

OK, I’ve missed something. Who’s Jumby?

See the movie, "Unborn." It was a scary movie which was undermined by the dopey name they gave to the scary kid from the netherworld.

Sunday for me and Mrs. Yokel, too. Slow-cooker started just before church. Taters and cabbage in about 90 minutes before serving.

My libation was “American Ale” by Auggie Busch and family (the StLoo Brew Crew). I actually opened 2 other beers (Heinies and Fat Tire) and found their taste didn’t agree with the meal. The ale was perfect.

a Swede, living in a Jewish neighborhood, going to a German Lutheran church and school.

That's got to be Rogers Park,...

Remember the time some Dem functionary had the idea of dying the water in the fountain (that was, or is, it's been years), in Daley Plaza, green, to match the River? You could see the stains in the white marble for years.
