So that was day one in #DeHaan

If I trust the weather report, always a bit iffy on the Northsea cost, this was it for non-rainy days with bits of clear sky.

Setting: typical Belgian Kust town. Holiday apartments up to the promenade overlooking the beach.

Further inland a surprisingly pleasant town. Might be the nicest we’ve been to.

Anyway, the kites made it to the beach, but because nice weather, not really enough wind. There’ll be other days.

Shopped for dinner and back to the „house“

Sauerbraten f/u

#recipe

In www.zahr.koeln/2022/12/1… I put the beef into the marinade.

Today took it out of the marinade and salted, peppered and browned the meat all around. The meat went with diced carrots, celeriac, leek, onion into a cast iron pot. Added Pumpernickel and Lebkuchen, 1 l of beef broth and enough of the marinade to mostly cover. Brought to a simmer. Now for 3 h in the oven at 120 C

The sauce will be done tomorrow.

Sauerbraten in pot, mostly covered in liquid, pieces of Lebkuchen swimming on top.
