Hi Dave,

 RH> Very true, a farm raised kid knew how to work and just as importantly,
 RH> do a good job of whatever the task was.

 DD> mamaged to "Tom Sawyer" the milk duties once wit each of my siblings.
 DD> After that they wised up util they were old enough to be assigned to
 DD> their own chores. Georgia to kitchen stuff andf Phil to feeding cattle
 DD> and cleaning stalls in the barn.

 RH> We all had certain jobs, girls more inside, boys outside. It was always
 RH> a treat when I got to break from the inside jobs and do something like
 RH> burn the trash, a job usually reserved for my older brother. Summertime
 RH> meant helping mom prep veggies for canning--tho I never went beyond
 RH> that at home, I picked up enough of a knowledge of it that I've done
 RH> well in my canning over the years.

 DD> I amaze younger people sometimes when I show them how to do something
 DD> that was a regular "thing" when I was growing up. Or, as I did with a
 DD> young girl at a fats food joint who gave me an "I don't kow hoe much
 DD> change you get. The register didn't tell me." wail ... taught her how
 DD> to count change back/make change from scratch. She was flabbergasted.
 DD> Especially when I explained that I learned that in second grade. Many
 DD> of today's Gen Z denizens will be in serious hurt without confusers
 DD> and cell phones.

We learned early on in school too. Now so many younger people don't even
use cash (and a good number of older folks) that it's a wonder clerks
can even run a register. They need to know how many nickels in a dime or
quarter; dimes in a dollar and so on without relying on a machine to
tell them.

 RH> We've done a varient on this over the years, had the original at
 RH> WienerWald in Germany a number of times.

 DD> Only Wienerwald I have had is the Wienerwald chicken that Lum's used
 DD> to have on their menu - back when there was a Lum's and we had one
 DD> here.
 DD> In the 70's  a Swiss chain called Wienerwald purchased Lum's.
 DD> Wienerwald, confusingly to Americans, had nothing to do with weiners.
 DD> It specialized in chicken and schnitzel.

Sounds like what we had in Germany, don't remember if it was Swiss owned
at the time.

 DD> And their chicken was really good - especially as a break from fried
 DD> chicken. I liked it well enough I got a more-or-less copycat recipe
 DD> and with minor adaptations made it my own. This works in an oven or on
 DD> a
 DD> Ferris wheel (rotissiere).


 DD>       Title: Wienerwald Chicken (Goldbroiler Recipe)
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Rubs, Marinades, Citrus, Fruits
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

 DD>       4 lb Broiler chicken

Good thing I've already had supper, this looks good enough to try on a
camping trip.
