contest Octoberfest?? TD

habaneroheat81 · Sep 14, 2012

Since I don't see anyone started this yet, I figured I would. Maybe just anxed to get another crown under my avatar, but looking forward to another TD.

I know generally we do octoberfest for october, if we keep the same theme I liked the idea that was thrown out there with sausages. But what are your ideas?

SumOfMyBits · Sep 14, 2012

So we've had conversations about possibly locking down some months of the year to specifically target a theme, and maybe take some stress off El Jefe. Oktoberfest, German food and beer, seems to be a running theme for this month. Should we lock this month to the Oktoberfest theme?

Great minds think alike. Go read my topic. You beat me by a couple minutes.

To funny Sum, that's awesome! But you think the homemade Brawtz would make it to where not as many entries would be posted?

Like

BigBrautsandIcannotlie,

You otherbrothers can'tdeny,
That when a frau walks in with an itty bitty wurst
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung.

Etc. etc. etc.

I like homemade Brats, but I think limiting it to that would be a mistake. If we just say ANY German food, we open it up to more variety... but it's still specific enough. And German beer is a must inclusion.

I like to not be making my own sausage.

I like some things in life to remain mysteries!!!!!!!!
Like sausage.
And Stonehenge.

My wifes dad put in an in ground fire pit, I'm thinking there's a Spanferkel in my future

Just gotta find some people to come over and eat it with us.

Is that all the Germans have is sausage and brats? Maybe a potato here and there.

In celebration of oktoberfest you could always do cookin with beer... suttin like that.

Chile Juju · Sep 14, 2012

Oh man! Maybe it's the cooler weather, but I'm totally craving Schwabentopf right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :party:

TMI, DUDE!!!! tmi....

Gotta admit, we had to cook with beer two Octobers ago, and I'm not keen on that. Much prefer that a German beer has to go with than requiring it to be a cooking ingredient, but whatev.

habaneroheat81 · Sep 14, 2012

SL, YOU METHOW PEEPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! I doubt I'll be able to eat 14lbs of pork anyways. Just have SD and CJ to bring the hhwiskeyy :drunk:

salsalady · Sep 14, 2012

Oktoberfest sound good, and I agree with geeme to not have german beer as a required ingredient in the dish. On the side, absolutely! Our local resources for German beers is extremely limited, and not necessarily good.

HH81, <3 U!

ps, Nice BLING!

edit- OH! Chile Juju has German ancestry, and she sent some hops to hwheebz to make a special beer, therefore, the special beer is German in origin.....and hwheebz promised a couple bottles to the NW... ...:lightbulb:...

how long does it take to make and bottle a kettle of beer?????

She hates german food. That's what I ment. What were you thinking???

Scovie · Sep 14, 2012

Someone say hhwiskey?

SL, it was my Dad that was German, and that's who CJ learned to cook the good Deutsch Lebensmittel.

Chile Juju · Sep 14, 2012

Hey, I got my own German blood too! And then it was Polish. And then German again. Damn border towns! hahahaha
But it was my pops-in-law that gave me skeeels.

I talked to Wheebz this week, and I think he said he was tapping the beer next week. But I might have misunderheard him.
Not sure if he can send any tho - legalities and all that.

But we could always take a li'l day trip to Leavenworth SL!!!!!!!! Brau Galore!!!!!!!! :party:

WHOOT!!!!!!!

habaneroheat81 · Sep 14, 2012

There's a german tore right down the streer, I think I'll talk to them next week and see what's up. :woohoo:

OK, I knew there was some Oktoberrfest lineages in there some where. Glad you guys got it all sorted out for me and the rest of the gang.
:crazy:

CJ......Leavenworth....RoadTrip?????? oh YEA!!!!! You-n-me, Girl!

HH- ask that local store what kind of "special stuff" they may have behind the counter. I'm thinking, like the Mexican restaurants that serve the basic salsa, but if you ask for the "house" salsa, then you get the spicy stuff...
