      Discovering Regional German Foods

      Deb Korting is heading up the kitchen team this week.  While traveling in the southwest German city of Idar-Oberstein, she learned about its history as the Gem Capital of Germany.  In the 1800’s when local miners returned to Germany from South America after searching for new mining options, they brought to the city the method of open fire, churrasco meat grilling.  Thursday’s menu is inspired by Spiessbraten, a dish of pork marinated in sliced onions and spices, then grilled over a wood fire.  

      Menu:  Grilled pork skewer topped with marinated, sauteed onions; Sweet and Sour Kraut Salad from the recipe files of Marilyn Metzger, Melinda Green’s mother; and Potato Salad - $14.   Dessert: German Chocolate Cupcakes - $4

      This month, we'll be hiking the Taylor Ochs Loop Trail at the Dennison University Biological Preserve. It will be a new experience for us.

      We will be meeting an hour earlier this hike at 9:00 a.m. instead of the usual 10:00 a.m.  It is a 4-mile hike lasting about 2 hours.

      Here is a google maps link to the parking lot: 

      https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pdt1tibkztjnTYE76 (copy and paste the link into Google)

      This trail is a bit primative, so wear proper shoes. 

      We will meet at 8:45 a.m.

      Please RSVP so we know who will be hiking.

      This month’s wine tasting will be a bit different from our past tastings.  It’s going to be a working night for us.  Our goal for the evening will be to select several wines that the Germania will use as our regular wines behind the bar.

      We will be tasting the wine not as a regular tasting but as a wine festival.  We will be trying 10 to 15 wines to find which wine we think will be the best suited to serve at the club.  We’ll only be tasting White wines this evening.  We will still ask that you bring some food to share as is usual.  Gemütlichkeit is best with food and drink!

      Since we will be using so many bottles of wine, the cost will be $30.00 per member and $35.00 per non-member.

      You must RSVP to attend the event.
