When
Ann
Chandler's mother, a WWII war bride, came to America, the family embarked on an immediate, intense immersion into a
new language and culture. They left the old world behind and
successfully assimilated into the new. Consequently,
Ann's mother did not pass on old country recipes to her daughter.
Ann, however, has ventured back into her
heritage, visited relatives in Germany, and researched
authentic German fare. She has generously supplied us with three (actually
four when you add the gravy) recipes along with a salad that combine for
a complete repast that will quicken your heart as it warms you up with
Nordic nostalgia.

Ann Chandler serves as a Master Flower Show Judge, National
Council of State Garden Clubs in Washington State. It would be
understatement to say that she is an avid gardener. She volunteers
for all kinds of service at her church and as a MOPS child care provider as well so
young Mothers of PreSchoolers can have some special time together. Her
gift of intensive, focused listening lends empathy to parishioner's
concerns in her visitations as a lay pastor.
