Actually just tenderizing the flank steaks for the Rolladen she’s going to cook for our Oktoberfest party tomorrow.
Rolladen and Kartoffel-Knödel with sauce and Sauerkraut. I will be grilling Bratwursts Nürnberger and Türinger Art.
The beer (among others) is Kölsh and was damned expensive to get here in Georgia.
The thread title came about when I yelled from back here (our combination art studio - hers not mine - computer room, “Honey can I help you with anything?”
“No, Sweetie”, came the reply accompanied by heavy banging. “I’m just beating my meat!”
God, I love this woman!!!:D:D:D
I sure wish y’all could make it tomorrow!
Chefguy, you especially need to be here to critique the meal!
It’s no problem for us to prepare for additional guests, of course, but Dondra (who isn’t feeling her best, and is having surgery in a week or so) has been working all day (as have I) to get everything ready for tomorrow.
Please don’t take the invitation as a joke. It isn’t meant that way.
Awesome, Q! My husband and I throw our Oktoberfest party late, typically the day before Columbus Day; we invite a lot of his postal worker coworkers, and they all have that Monday off. I’m making sauerbraten like usual, another friend is bringing spaetzle, one friend is bringing Lithuanian sausage and sauerkraut (we’re accepting of all close-enough cuisines, and it’s from his grandma’s recipe), etc. I think I’m also making red cabbage and apples, and probably a mushroom gravy. We’ll be having lots more food, and of course, beer and the Bears game.
It’s Sunday morning and we’re getting ready for our guests. The Rolladen got cooked last night (and it was me beating the meat- Dondra just isn’t feeling well and I feel so bad for putting her through this, so I took care of that part) and everything else is a “go”.
I put a Bavarian flag on the mailbox, and in a few minutes will be going to get the ice to chill the beer and wine. So we’re all set to go. The only thing missing is y’all, and I mean that! You have no idea how great it would be to welcome my Doper buds into our home!
Ferret Herder, I miss you in the WoW thread, Hon!
Your party sounds like the place to be, FH!!! If you do parties the way you play WoW, I know it will rock!
Aw, I quit playing - it was too much like work. Maybe I’ll start up again at some point. My husband is grinding away, trying newbie characters and still having some fun.
Came home today with 10 lbs of top round roast for the sauerbraten; I’ll start marinating in a couple days and then maybe throw it in the slow cooker late Saturday, cook it on low overnight to have it ready for the party.
Although I haven’t eaten any kind of meat for many years, if I was to ever again decide to tuck into a carnivorous meal again, my Mom’s homemade Rollauden would be my 1st choice…
Have a Kolsh for me, and I will have to made due with choking down a few 3.2% Pabst Blue Ribbons; I am in Utah afterall…:smack:
