sauerkraut

So I haven’t entered a post nor a recipe in some time now. Lots of cooking, celebrating , company and  now it is time to get back on course. The party was a success. 60 guests and no one complained about the food or drink.  I am sharing the menu and will share additional recipes soon. I mix do aheads( freezing and doing the day before), lasts minutes (keep these to a minimum) and a touch of store bought ( I can make marinated olives myself but why should I do it all.)  I like to pick my battles. If I pick less make aheads  and have to do lots of last minutes that mean I have to rely on good quality products to step in for me.  I don’t like to do that 1. it isn’t mine and 2. it can cost more and then the budget is a mess.  I don’t like either of those things.  I can be a little on the controlling side and those both rub me the wrong way.
