German grub

I like to force Mex to spend hours in the kitchen

when she comes to visit.

Which may be why she won't come very often.

I know, this doesn't look like hours' worth of work. 

But what if I stretch the truth and tell you we:

~killed the pig

~ground the meat

~seasoned the meat

~stuffed the sausages into casings

~cured the meat

~grilled the meat

~grew the red cabbage

~shredded the cabbage

~picked the apples

~preserved the apple cabbage kraut

~opened the jar of kraut and ate it

~ground the flour

~made the spaetzle from scratch

(Hint: each grouping above has one true statement.)
