ROMAN RULERS List - Added 1

My favorite: Rouladen/ White Asparagus Tips in White Sauce/ Mashed potatos with lots of cream/butter...gravy is to die for! I usually make a huge lake in my mashed potatoes/ add 5 ladels of gravy!
Second choice: Roast Rabbit/ Mashed Potatoes/ Red Cabbage cooked in apple wine.....I am getting hungry

I mention recently that I have trouble keeping the ladies straight, I have a horrible time with AELIA FALCCILA and GALLA PLACIDIA! Even as I was typing this I was getting them mixed up. So, you @Alegandron new lady is the mother of Theodosius, and my chick is his wife.

 

Yours is a good one!
I have the Wife on the Spinning Wheel too...

Q

 

@panzerman - not fair to post favorites just before lunch. I had to google the recipe. It looks good, assuming I found the right recipe. Do you add pickles in your beef roll-up? That is an item I have not used when cooking beef.

@Alegandron - nice addition.

 

Here is rouladen recipe:
Buy 12 rouladen/ roll them out on countertop/ smear on a thin coat of normal mustard/ then smear on pureed onions/two strips of bacon @rouladen/roll them up and skewer @ one.
In a large roasting pot/ add butter/ 4 large onions cut into four wedges/ blacken the onions on high heat/ remove onions/ burn your rouladen until dark brown/ add blackened onions/tiny pinch of sugar/ fill pot with water so that rouladen are totally immersed/ cook on medium heat for three hrs.
Remove rouladen/ strain gravy to remove onions....which you throw in garbage!
Then pour strained gravy back into pot/ bring to a slow boil/ add 1/2 cup 18% table cream/ 2 beef bouillion cubes/ add flour to thicken your gravy to correct consistency. Your done PS: NO PICKLES!

 

I think all this German food should be served with a one litre beer stein!

 

Technically, aren't about half the rulers of the 3rd century A.D. usurpers?

 

During the third century crisis (235-286AD) I count 28 “official” emperors and 38 usurpers - only two of whom died from natural causes.

 

GREAT Romulus, Q! Great detail with hair, cheekbone, the temple, and the eagle's talon.

Mine has "been around" a little more. A bit used...
