Penny's and Joseph's father

email from Penny

My grandfather (Rose's husband) left one day to get some cigarettes and did not come home for many many years. When he returned it was during the depression and an uncle of mine met him at the train station and told him to keep on going, that Rose did not want to see him again. As for my own father, he died in 1955 at the age of 47.

When I was young my grandmother used to make something called "schnepp beans."

Recipe 

saure Schnippelbohnen / sour sliced beans
Choose a rather soft sort of beans, pull of the string (if they have any) and slice them rather finely (on the diagonal, 1/8 x 2 inch strips). 
Cover the bottom of a crock with salt, put in a layer of beans, about 3 fingers thick, put enough salt on top to just cover the beans. Add a new layer of beans and salt and so forth, until all beans are used up. 
On top of the last salt layer put a layer of grape leaves, on top of those a wooden board (usually fitting into the crock exactly) and weigh it down with stones. 
Leave the crock in the cellar ( cool dark place)
After 10-14 days remove grape leaves and and the skin that will have developped on the beans. 
Put a clean linen cloth (you can boil linen) on the beans and weigh down again with the board and stones. 
From time to time the cloth and the board need to be cleaned, and care has to be taken that the beans are always completely covered with brine. 
Before use beans must be well watered. When boiling, replace boiling water with fresh water several times.
A small amount of butter and flour, browned in a pan, would be added to the finished beans for extra flavour.
