      • I’ve never had them but I am sure they are Diane – my father was German so she made wiener schnitzel a lot. Nice for second day on toast. 🙂

      • Small family – just my parents and me … we each had our own schnitzel and sometimes my mom would cook extras for sandwiches. Mmmm. It was schnitzel and spaetzle and potatoes … if I’m going to have noodles, I’d rather eat them with tomato sauce or cheese sauce, not be embedded with the green beans. 🙂

      • She was a good cook Diane. It is just me, so I don’t cook anything really, just heat up stuff on the stove. I have fond memories of the sausage gravy and biscuits … besides going to that little diner to have those nice farmer’s breakfasts I mentioned to you before, my mom would make sausage gravy and biscuits every time I washed windows. I hated washing windows and my mom was a stickler for clean windows and I’d spend a whole day washing down the house, then washing all the windows over every 4th of July weekend. Took me a long time to do it and my reward was a nice breakfast so I had a full stomach to go work all day. 🙂 That was my incentive!
