Jagerschnitzel

[Eugene]

Getting things lined up for making tomorrows lunch, jagerschnitzel. Basically a pork tenderloin smothered in mushroom gravy.

Mother in-law visited when we were stationed in Germany. Took a road trip along the Rhine river viewing the castles and scenery. Stopped for lunch. Mother in-law said that she wanted a tenderloin, pork dish popular in the Midwest. Only thing on the menu that came close to a tenderloin was the jagerschnitzel. Lunch arrived at the table. Mother in-law looked discussed. Promptly scraped the mushroom sauce and gravy from the tenderloin.

The jagerschnitzel was delicious. Wife asked me around 10 AM when I was going to start cooking the schnitzel. Told her I was thinking around 10:30 AM. 10:30 AM arrived, wife was already starting the schnitzel.

Wife's two favorite dishes are mushrooms and anything with mushrooms.

maybe it was NOT the jagersnitzel she was disgusted with.

Yup. Could have been me. I have some mother in-law stories acquired during her 2 visits to Germany and 1 in Panama. It's difficult to explain to 80 year olds that the rest of the world is not the same as eastern Iowa.

Haven't told the story of me driving to Luxembourg international airport 5 days in a row to meet my in-laws plane. In-laws went to Ireland to visit relatives. Sent me a letter from Ireland saying they would arrive 5 days after the planned date and flight number. Letter sent through the Amy Post Office (APO New York) arrived several days after the in-laws returned to the USA. In-laws had my German home phone and German postal address.
