This is the end of the 2nd day of the Siemens Reunion. Carolyn, Dale’s sister hosted this year and held it at her house. She had prepared sole food for the family; veranika and German sausage for Friday night, Jiaozi for lunch and pie and homemade ice cream for dinner.
Veranika is a dish that Dale’s mom use to make which consists of a ½ circle dumpling filled with hoop cheese, similar to cottage cheese. The dumpling is fried and then boiled I believe. Then gravy is made using more cheese and maybe sour cream and served over the veranikas.
In China the jiaozi is a Chinese dumpling. In this case the recipe comes from an old family friend who lived in China as a child. The recipe consists of a serving of cold cooked potatoes, bean sprouts and rice noodles is put in the bottom of the dish; then a layer of salad consisting of chopped celery, bok choy and some small chopped meat; then a layer of the jiaozis which are meat balls in a wonton wrapper boiled in water.
Carolyn’s specialty is pies and she made plenty; peach, pecan, custard and some others which I didn’t look closely at. Pie with homemade ice cream was a great ending to the reunion.
