Since we have arrived in Kimberley we have learned that it has been developed as a Bavarian town here in the Canadian mountains. They have many features patterned after a Bavarian Village. Near where we are staying is The Old Bauernhaus Restaurant. It is an actual farmhouse from Germany that was built in the 1600's and in 1987 it was taken apart and shipped to Canada where it was reassembled in Kimberley. It is now an authentic German restaurant. This was where Ruby Shaw decided she would like to take her family for a special evening together.
Our reservations were for 5:30 and for the next three hours we enjoyed a wonderful time of family fellowship and excellent German cuisine. The feast included meat, cheese and vegetable trays with various breads and butter. We had two different tasty salads. My personal favorite, a baked brie with a cranberry/pear compote. We had sauteed prawn in a rich white wine and garlic sauce. The entrees were schnitzel, and stroganoff with fresh garden vegetables (asparagus, carrots, roasted red peppers, "zoo-key-knee"squash) we also had roasted potatoes and a traditional German noodle for the stroganoff to go over.
When our meal was completed, everyone seemed happily stuffed and truly blessed to be a part of the Shaw family. It was one of those special memory making events we have come to appreciate at our reunions.
