Even though they think most of my pictures are “not crisp,” “unflattering composition,” and “un-compelling subject matter” I got two really good ideas yesterday! I found one, Tony found the other because he knew it would be right up my alley: sauerkraut latkes!
- 1 cup sauerkraut, squeezed dry
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- salt and pepper to taste
Just mix and pan fry until crispy on both sides. So simple and delicious! But next time I might add a bit of shredded potato to it too.
The other was spicy carmel corn. The Dog’s Breakfast is a new blog to me, and the only thing I changed was added 1/2 tsp. of ground chile powder in place of the chile in adobo sauce. The perfect balance of heat and sweet!
I made stove top popcorn, then put it on a baking sheet. Next was to make the caramel:
I think my brother and sister are really going to love this!
While I was busy in the kitchen, my boys were sleeping! It’s so funny, when I am not home our dog wants nothing to do with Tony, the second I walk in the door he sticks to Tony like glue!
My eats were pretty boring – eggs for breakfast, and since we ate breakfast so late, the sauerkraut latkes were my lunch. Dinner was pork tenderloin, reduced fat cheese twice baked potatoes and zucchini parmesan coins.
Things to Do Today:
- yep, still have to do my Christmas cards
- still need to make the red pepper jelly
- sleep in until 10:15 a.m. – done!
Come back tomorrow – its our wedding anniversary tomorrow! 
Glad you tried the popcorn.
Your dog is adorable!
Your bro and sis are quite lucky!! I want some of that popcorn!!
Happy Wedding Anniversary to you and Tony!!

happy early wedding anniversary to you!! how exciting. so you got married right around xmas huh? you know what’s funny, i just started submitting pictures today to Tastespotting. I have NEVER heard of it before and decided to give it a try. I think my pictures suck too, but it’s a start! Lets see what they say
Very interesting with the latke variation. That caramel corn looks so good. I have never made any at home, but it is one of my fave treats.
Happy wedding anniversary tomorrow!
Those latkes look interesting – I like sauerkraut but I think I would like some potato in them too
Yum to the popcorn – you give great presents!!!
Biz, get on those Christmas cards!!!
Is there a bad-lookin’ latke out there? ,
……………….didn’t think so!
Gotta try the sauerkrat latkes! Happy anniversary tomorrow!
awww happy anniversary! I’ll be back tomorrow for sure!
Oh my, that popcorn sounds awesome!
happy anniversary!
Spicy Carmel Corn – yeah, I am thinking that is something I need to avoid like the plague. I can see myself eating entirely too much of that!
Happy Anniversary!
Um, the carmel corn looks irresistible!
LOL–I feel you on the rejection. I haven’t tried Taste Spotting but I’ve gotten plenty of rejections from foodgawker. I think they’re a little nicer when they tell you why they rejected your submission, however. It’s just: food/composition, harsh lighting/overexposed, underexposed, etc. Is that picture of the caramel corn before or after you baked it in the oven? For some reason, my caramel corn goes from looking like that, to a dry and not so pretty look after baking and I can’t figure out why.
