The short ribs.  I let the flavor marry for a day before I stated them.  I made some homemade creme fraiche Friday.  It has been in the fridge since yesterday.  It got better with a day's aging as well.  Since the short ribs came out kind of on the sweet side (the only reason I can think of for that is that the carrots were unusually sweet  I sampled them as I was dicing)  The creme fraiche was just slightly sour, much less than sour cream, and is 44% butterfat.  I substituted it for butter on the mashers.  The meal was perfection and way filling.

I can almost taste that in my mind's taste buds.  I think I'll google around for recipes.

The only recipes for short ribs with sauerkraut were for boneless short ribs.  I donno about that...what draws me to short ribs is the gelatinous nature of the connective tissue.
