Hi Mike,

 MR> Probably like other things, letting it set for a day or so only lets
 MR> those tastes

Yes, and adding just a bit of bbq sauce as a binder helped. I wasn't
putting up with bits of meat falling out of the bread that way. Should
have toasted the bread tho, the meat & sauce soaked right thru it
untoasted. A pickle would have gone well with it too.

 MR> > I've never been to a drive in for a movie. Years ago, when we lived

 MR> It's funny You should say that, only because we have a rather large
 MR> Flea Market in our area which does the same thing. It sets up on the
 MR> weekend in the lot of one of the few remaining Drive-ins in the area.

Hmmmm, do you happen to recall the drive ins' name? Might be one Steve
went to with his family when he was a kid. Nearest one to my family was
an hour away so I never had the experience.

Thanks; it's been a lot of hard work but I'm better off for it. I've not
been able to get all the sewing done I thought I would up here, but part
of that is also the sewing for others that I'm doing. Even that has
taken back seat to the school work.


 MR> > It looked similar to some of the Russian Jewish recipes I've

 MR> It probably should be, being from that Ukraine area. There does seem
 MR> to be a slight difference, but the dishes seem to be close. Names may
 MR> be different, but the kind of food is the same.

Plus the Jewish ones separate out the meat and dairy to keep kosher.

 MR> I would bet that is good. I get a taste of the homemade stuff once a
 MR> year at the Polish Festival. Everything, even the sausage is homemade
 MR> and it tastes nothing like the stuff bought in stores. A friend of
 MR> mine does not like saur kraut, but can actually enjoy the home made

Now that would really be good! Sausage, kraut, rye bread............

Steve got some, when he was living at home, from a friend who lived on a
farm. I understand it was a bit more than mild. (G)


 MR> good! There is one brand here locally that is close, Called Terri's.
 MR> Nice and mild, but
 MR> still gives that zing...

Does Wegman's carry it? We are going to try to get up to NY to visit
family this summer & will be stopping (at least once, maybe more) at the
Wegman's in Brockport.

 MR> >  MR>     1 pound kluski-style noodles, cooked and drained

 MR> Honestly Ruth, any kind of noodle will work just fine, it just depends
 MR> on your preference of noodles. The Kluskies are to noodles like gnocci
 MR> is to pastas. It is an egg noodle but the way the make it it resembles
 MR> more of a fresh made type pastas. You don't always find them at the
 MR> stores, but can find them online pretty readily, they are very similar
 MR> in size for the most part to the kind
 MR> of noodle You would find in a can of condensed chicken noodle soup.
 MR> but any kind of noodle works fine. I use medium egg noodles. but
 MR> thinner or wider noodles all work just as well.

OK, then whole wheat noodles will work fine. Thank you for the
suggestion.
