GERMAN SMOKEHOUSE: Smoking in the shed takes on new meaning after you attend this workshop ... we explain on Passport to Texas. This is Passport to Texas When 19th century Texans wanted bacon or sausage, they had to make it. See how it's done when you visit the Sauer Beckman Living History Farm February 6 for their German Smokehouse Secrets demonstration. :12 -- This event, we actually go into not only the curing of bacon and sausage, but they also do some other German food that may not be familiar to everyone. Iris Neffendorf is manager of the LBJ SP and Historic Site and the Sauer Beckman Living History Farm in Johnson City in the Hill Country. :19 -- We decided this year that because of the interest in the past, that we would go ahead and offer this one-day activity, focused heavily on outdoor processing and nineteen hundred food preparations that relate to German traditions on a German farm. People concerned about where food comes from and how animals are raised will appreciate this demonstration, says Neffendorf. :14 -- People are turning a lot more to organic gardening and organic animals and farmyard eggs. So this is what you have here at the living history farm is homegrown, or what we call now, organic types of food. It's free to attend the February 6 German Smokehouse Secrets demonstration at the Sauer Beckman Living History farm. Find details on the TPW website. That's our show ...
