| I will ask LeAnne and Keith. Keith's grandma makes some fabulous german potato salad! |
OK, bad news. 
I texted LeAnne and she said the 2 times they brought home the german potato salad was from 2 different family funerals. The same group of church ladies...  so it remains a well guarded mystery in Blue Earth MN, a small town in very southern MN. |

Thanks for trying anyway. I'm sure I have a recipe in my trusty 40 year old Good Housekeeping Cookbook....if nothing else |
| Personally I'd rather have some fruit to nibble on. How's your apple pie with cheddar cheese recipe? Around here a bowl of guac and chips disappers quickly. |

I'm not much on desserts myself. Any good suggestions? Sounds as if there will be a means to keep food warm. I was considering hot german potato salad. Anyone have a good recipe for that? Should be about 12 people there.
This is the recipe I use. Really tasty. Only problem is-- it only serves about 4-5, so you will need to make a triple batch- or even quad. •5 slices bacon, diced and cooked until crisp •2 tablespoons bacon drippings •1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour •1 tablespoon granulated sugar •1 teaspoon salt •1 tablespoon prepared mustard •1/2 cup cider vinegar •1/2 cup water •4 cups sliced cooked potato Preparation: Cook bacon; set aside. Heat bacon drippings; blend in flour, sugar, salt and mustard. Gradually add vinegar and water, stirring constantly until smooth. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring, until thickened. Add potato and heat through, gently stirring to mix. Sprinkle with reserved bacon. I add caraway seeds sometimes... mostly if I am serving it with Brats. |

| Oh where is my Minnesota Lutheran ladies' cook book............. |
| Oh, found it and the first recipe I found made me laugh , reminds me of my in-laws.
Molded Supper Salad 2 pkgs lemon jello 2 cups boiling water 1 cup Miracle Whip 1 cup cream 2 T. grated onion 1 cup chopped nuts 1 tsp salt 2 cans tuna, chicken or shrimp, drained 6 hard boiled eggs, sliced 1 cup Velvetta cheese 1/2 cup pimento 1 cup green pepper, chopped 3 cups diced celery Make jello, set until amlost firm. Add other ingredients, pour into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Refrigerate until set. I might gag on that, but what is popular with the older ladies I deal with on Sundays is the red Jello with a cream cheese layer and pretsels crushed over the top. Doesn't do much for me so don't have the recipe, but noticed the plate is always clean at the end of the meal. |
| Nothing better than sliced caramel apples, fruit and dessert in one. It's a natural for a fall/halloween get together. I keep mine simple, with crushed pecans or almonds. |

HUH? I thought that was a "local" joke! 
PS: I AM Lutheran And this cook out /bonfire is for our church golf league |
| Lutheran Ladies probably comes from Prairie Home Companion radio and the staple of all Lutheran casseroles "Lutheran Glue" cream of mushroom soup.
Actually I have several Lutheran ladies guild cookbooks and all offer good recipes. No joke, except in my mind when I think of DHs family in Minnesota and the recipes they made. Tastey but not very creative, but then they were older then so recipes were early late 19th century/early 20th century Mid America dishes. The recipe I have above with the molded salad was very popular several decades ago but haven't seen it serves in 30+ years. I was thinking an older group might appreciate a recipe from Memory Lane. |
