What are you cooking the brats in? Looks like it could be beer. But I can't imagine eating a boiled brat, grilled is the only way for me. We have a local company that is famous for their hot dogs. We took some to my sisters and she boiled them. That was the most disgusting hot dog I ever had, grill only or fry.
I bubble (not boil, more like a gentle simmering from some German beer) them in beer then when the beer has all bubbled away they get a quick frying on both sides. Why? Cus I didn’t feel like firing up the Q.
Off for a week before I start my new retirement job, lol. I got some soup going, and I made a loaf of sourdough last night. I like that its a process, and you get good returns on your investment of time. And it tastes good.
Hell if we’re all gettin together I’ll go ahead and make a cookie pie. Couple of home made pizzas, chips n dip. I’ll bring some recliners as well, you better be sure to wear your eatin pants with the elastic waist band.
