You got it right hot blue and righteous THP. My mother just did a 2 week road trip to family down Corpus Christi way and scouted some property in Round Rock outside of Austin. I'm hoping she grabs a house around Round Rock which will give me an excuse to hit Franklin's BBQ in Austin and then on to Lockhart. Black's would be my destination of choice. Have mercy!

I need to take a trip to Austin. I've got a friend down 'dar, and I need to hit you up as well!
Should October be German BBQ? (smokehouse style). No plates, only butcher paper
. Nice BBQ weather, and we haven't done it in awhile for a TD.

...well if she moves to Round Rock, thats only about 5 miles from the hacienda here.
It is great BBQ weather, however there is still a burn ban in effect around here which INCLUDES a ban on outdoor BBQ's using wood or charcoal(with only 1" of rain since October, and half the State being on fire... it's unfortunantly understandable, but still sucks)...I need to take a trip to Austin.

...even worse, you will get a ticket if they see you smoking a cigerette outside of you house or vehical. Seriously ridiculous, but true.
Sauerbraten.
That would basically be smoked brisket and sausage, potato salad, etc.
We could just do Oktoberfest; German and German-inspired food (elements of Texas BBQ, etc.).

Here here to Black's in Lockhart. Good stuff.
The sausage making one we did was awesome (was not an Oktoberfest one). And it's always awesome when members make their own bread. Let's take it up a notch. Both!
Germans are known for a variety of sausages and breads. This TD could be two components, homemade only of course (anyone can buy sausage or bread)... sausage and bread! Does not have to be a sandwich. Cooked any way. Get creative.
Pictured with a märzen style beer, which of course can be used in the cooking.
Ex: Trinidad Scorpion Cheddarwurst on a pretzel roll... etc., etc!
If there are naysayers saying you don't own a sausage machine, there are ways to stuff a sausage that are DIY just look it up.
Plus, these are not supposed to be easy.

Sausage, Bread, and Beer. Can't go wrong.

Yes, it already says it just has to be in the pic as a bevy, not in the food.
EDIT: My bad was supposed to say can be used in the cooking. Left that word out.
This is true but the rules have not been written, and will most likely require casings to keep it German.
Let's say you do not have to keep it German. This is a fun one where you can BBQ, or whatever.
If you guys think outside the box you can do it w/o a machine; fatties on the Q with bacon as the casing. The bread could be cornbread. Just saying that right there is BBQ and not German. Let's make this fun. Homemade sausage and homemade bread is not hard, and the possibilities are endless. Could be and Italian hero, or dinner, or Indian, with naan and a kebab, etc. Or traditional German. Thoughts?
