I have to confess that this is the first year in my life that I did not make, or have kartoffelklösse during the winter. My sister and I are always trying to out-do the other when making kartoffelklösse. This month my brother sent me a picture of her kartoffelklösse dinner. She is busy perfecting making them in advance, freezing them and serving pure white kartoffelklösse every time. She also made rouladen to serve with it. Okay I'm mad I wasn't there. At this time there are very few people in my family who still make traditional kartoffelklösse (not a boxed mix) like my grandmother did. It really is a lot of work.
My grandmother hid her dirty dishes in the bathtub waiting for us to leave so that she could wash them. It |
My sister's kartoffelklösse. Okay you win! Just wait until next year. |
She had more dishes! |
Flash frozen kartoffelklösse |
Bratwurst, cheeseburgers and hamburgers. Can you smell that? |
Fire licked Bratwurst getting their grill on |
It is also nice to hear from distant family members that I have never personally met from time to time. He got me to thinking more about one of my favorite sausages, the bratwurst. I am putting this winter behind me and salivating at the thought of a good old fashioned barbecue.
Back in the beer tub for a soak until needed |
Maybe you prefer them with lots of onions |
My first double brat! I prefer mustard. |
If it's in the fridge put it on the grill |
You don't need a reason to have a barbecue, just good friends and family! |
No matter how you cook them they're just great |
PS. I prefer the white veal bratwurst over the traditional. There are also skinless brat patties. Any will do when the grill is on.

Any day is a great day to grill some brats! Yum! Let's have some next time I come for a visit :) Nice blog Uncle Tim!
Hi. I read your blog every time you have a new post up. I'm a displaced Chicagoan living in the desert southwest- for 20+ years- how the time flies. Many of your posts bring back great memories, tastes, smells, great food, good times I had growing up, and as a young man in Chicago. Love a Chicago barbeque- with cold beer of course (Mexican carnes and pollo is pretty tasty too). I do get back every couple years... family & friends. Much thanks for your write-ups and sharing including family memories (its all familiar)- I hope you intend to keep the project continuing.
