My wife and I went to Columbus, OH over the week-end and
stayed two nights. My cousin and wife were celebrating their 60th Wedding
Anniversary! Their four children gave them a party at the Hilton Garden Inn.
Their cake was topped with the top from their wedding. The wife was born in
Scotland so the finale was two Scottish dressed in full regalia came down the
hall and into the room playing bag pipes, pretty awesome! My cousin was a
retired Navy pilot. We ate some great food and it was nice to get to visit with
the children.
Back to normal today trying to get the yard mowed before
rain came in. I just got started mowing and a neighbor and old work buddy
stopped by, talked over an hour so then I was behind. I had some chicken brats
and some garden produce from our daughter in law, summer squash, zucchini, a
green pepper and two small onions.
I nuked some small golden potatoes and simmered the brats in
some Yuengling bock beer for 15 minutes then on the smoker on smoke mode for
about 40 minutes. I had planned on a couple of hours but was too far behind.
After the smoke I sliced the brats and in the skillet with
peppers and onions. I then added the sliced potatoes and browned. I had eased
the smoker up to 375 deg. Last I added the squash, zucchini and garlic seeds.
The garlic was seed heads and about the size of popcorn kernels. I was not
keeping track of time but took about 45 minutes to get done. It would have
taken less time on the stove top but this was more fun.
I served it with some crusty bread and butter. Tasted mighty
good!
