Now ya tell me! Everyone treked home before the hard freeze got too bad.

We started with the butternut squash soup. Just a bit of a noshe there.

Then Ghiselle, grabbed my bacon grease, some of the sweet brown vinegar, and
riffled my spices (grin). I was busy setting the table mostly but she
taught John (age 12) how to cut cabbage up the easy way. It was a fairly
traditional german hot slaw with a delicate mustard/cardamom touch and heart
warming fatty in a good way.

I did an impromptu tradtional southern white gravy with some of the sausage
grease and folks used it to dip the bagette bread after cutting little bites
of sausage and making mini-samwiches. The asian mustard went really nicely
with the brisket cut to thin slivers and samwhiched into the bread with a
bite of the hot slaw.

We finished off with Sponge-bob square pants jello which was a hoot!

Simple fun. Not so fancy as what you do.
