Beer Soaked Brats

Grilled is better.

Corn, with a pat of butter, squeeze of lime juice, and pepper. It'll get wrapped up and thrown on the grill with everything else.

The best performing "smoker" we've used.

The Kingsford's got Grill Envy.

We smoked the brats for about 40 minutes or so...

Then they went into a butter/beer bath to cook through. About a half an hour more.

Matt...

The full grill.

Towards the end we threw the brats back over the coals to crisp up the skin.
They'll crack when you bite them. :)

Beer!

Well, Miranda, I can't help you with your pickle stuff... but I can recommend that if you're ever in Oregon...

Stop at the Deschutes Brewery in Bend and have a pint...
 

and the Full Sail Brewery in Hood River is a must as well...

The Quickest Summer Dinner

Now and then, a little greasy chicken n' beer goes a long way.

Grilled Sausage with Grilled Onions, Peppers and Sauerkraut

Grill up a nice Sausage and top with grilled Onions and Peppers (3 different colors preferably) and a whole crapload of Sauerkraut. Serve with your favorite Doppelbock and enjoy

Beer Can Chickenz

In honor of the Solstice, I roasted up a couple beer can chickens.

I keep thinking they're talking to each another.

Y'know, something like this...

On a Sunday in the snow when there's nothing much to do...

Actually, I'm glad today is the solstice. It all gets better from here. Although I don't mind the cold. It's a pain, yeah. But it'll help kill off the bugs... and it'll help next year's seeds germinate... y'know, that kind of thing. There's a bigger picture going on. And I don't mind. It makes the rest of my life tolerable.

Bring on the chicken!

Now ask yourself... Has Chris ever helped me out... or worked on my house?
