Dec 18 - #25 - Binkert's
Heather headed up to Rosedale to hit Binkert's because the end is near. It wasn't ideal, sending a non-meat eater to a German deli to select German sausage, but she was up to the task. She had no clue what to get so texted Tim (meat-eater) to ask his preferences. Accidentally hit send after "what kind of sausage do you like?" Was supposed to be followed by, "going to Binkert's German place for sausage." Would have been funnier if Heather actually meant it. Anyway, he provided a bit of advice.
Heather stood at the counter while the woman in front of her had an extended conversation with her husband in what I think was German and then asked the lady at the slicer if they had some complex sounding thing that she got the last time she was there but that they no longer have. The lady at Binkert's suggested the "ginger ring" which is a Christmas tradition. So, had to get one of those. Oh and they only take cash or checks, and with about $12 in cash, Heather had to be careful to make sure she didn't overspend. How does a non-meat eater know how much sausage costs? So, after selecting a quarter pound of salami (Tim likes that), a Ginger sausage ring, some Nuernberger sausages (someone else likes those) and hot/spicy mustard, Heather was out of there. The purchases from Binkert's were all in the car later on in the day along with the Tyrone's fried edibles - made for an interesting auto aroma!
(The mustard was good on fries and the lake trout! Julie & Tim enjoyed the salami. Not sure about the other sausages.)

Sounds like such an adventure! So sorry I couldn't join you there. Tim - we still need an update on how the sausages were when cooked!
