Happy 231st birthday. Anyone celebrating by blowing up a piece of the country?I'm throwing burgers, sausage, and chicken on the grill, after work

Sausage and Peppers for lunch, Ribs for dinner. Awesome food day.

I'm cookin up some half chuck half sirlion ground beef for burgers... throw a little mozzarella, home made bbq sauce, and carameilized onion strings with the beef on a potato bun... can't beat it. I'd usually be having brats or ribs but I wanted something different this year.Just remember when making brats.. always pre-cook your brats in a cheap beer and NEVER poke them, use tongs. Always eat with German potato salad and put bavarian sauerkraut on top.

Why does Bratwurst need to be pre-cooked in beer?

I never cared much for Brats....probably just the New Yorker in me though.

 

[DevinHester23]

haha, yea Bratwurst is a Chicago-Minnesota-Wisconsin thing.

 

[PurplePeopleEaters]

Yeah it is a Minnesota-wisconsin-illinois type thing. Most people here in NC don't know what they are lol. anyways...the best brat place in the world is a place called kramarczuks in minneapolis. They have amazing food all around especially their sausages.. Although they've gone a little bit yuppie as of late making wild rice sausages and crap like that. Their simple sausages are downright amazing though.. http://www.kramarczuk.com/

I love brats.I don't know what I'm eating. I'm so sunburnt it's unreal.

I'm glad my dad used to be a cook. We get good food everyday Happy 4th everyone.

 

[DevinHester23]

I was going to fire up the grill today with my dad, but I had an argument with him earlier in the day, so I made him do everything himself

I had steak for dinner, and I was lifeguarding all afternoon so I only got to eat bagel bites and a sandwich for lunch... had a reallll good blueberry peach cobler pie for dessert though.. excellllentt.It was raining pretty bad here so I didn't go watch fireworks. I watched Memphis Belle with my family instead

It was a canteen regular.And my favorite 4th of July quote:"Don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes."
