Beer Brats are back

Beer Brats are back for the football season.

No need to parboil in beer.  (but you still can if you want to)  The beer is mixed right in the sausage.
In the past my beer brats were made with beef.  But this time they are made the traditional way with all pork.

This is a great party brat for the football game parties.
Try them with fried onions or with sauer kraut.

Be sure to visit the Norse Valley Lodge Booth for some hearty Viking food.

Located on College Avenue at Oneida Street

They are teaming up with a group of high school students from Appleton North and East High Schools. These students are enrolled in German language classes and are participating in the

German exchange program with Altötting, Germany.

This is the 37th year that Appleton has exchanged students with Altötting.

The theme of the booth will be

“The Viking World Tour: Next Stop Germany.”

After the booth expenses are paid, the proceeds will be donated to the students as “travel scholarships” to help pay for their travel expenses to Altötting, Germany next June 2013.

Here is another "Genetically-modified" you need to worry about.

STAYING GOLDEN ...

Genetically-modified apples face scrutiny

Canadian company's engineered fruit doesn't brown when cut

 

Soon after slicing a conventional Granny Smith apple, left, starts to brown, while a newly-developed GM Granny Smith stays fresher looking.

Helen Thompson, NPR | Sept. 26, 2012

In the fairytale world, a shiny red apple can lead to a poisonous end. But some see two genetically engineered green apple varieties, poised to become the first to gain U.S. Department of Agriculture approval, as similar harbingers of doom.

Okaganan Specialty Fruits, Inc., the company that has developed Granny Smith and Golden Delicious varieties that don't go brown when you slice them, says the fears are overblown and the apples are safe to eat.

Now, we've reported extensively on the heated debate over labeling genetically engineered food, and there's no denying that genetically-modified (GM) foods are a polarizing issue. But, would an apple that doesn't turn brown prevent us from telling whether it's rotten?

Garlic Wieners

I got a little story for you..................

Before the summer market season started I make new sign boards listing all the cuts of meat we have.  I am sure you noticed how much nicer they look with the pictures on them.

Well, when I made the one with the sausage, I typed out the names for the summer sausage and ring bologna and they both have a choice of (plain or garlic).
When I typed out the name "Wieners" I accidentally copied the "(plain or garlic)".

The first couple times I was asked for garlic wieners I did not think any thing of it.  We have so many things available in garlic.  So it was weeks before I found out I made the mistake of putting the garlic wieners on the boards.

I  AM  STILL  GETTING  ASKED  FOR  GARLIC  WIENERS.

SO, I decided to have some garlic wieners made.  I don't know if they will be ready yet this weekend or not.  But I should have them for the following weekend for sure.

If you are interested in GARLIC  WIENERS  check back and I will let you know for sure when I have them.

Cooking after Labor Day

It is still pretty warm out there.  Produce is still doing great.

We have Stir Fry Strips to go with all that great produce.
your choice of
Beef, 
Pork, 
and Chicken stir fry strips.

When you read a recipe for stir fry it calls for using round steak.
But our Beef Stir Fry Strips are so much better, ours are cut from sirloin.  Moister and more tender.....

Soon we will be thinking of cooking for cooler weather.
Check out the tabs above for our list of roasts.  Right now we still have some chuck roasts that are even under 2 pounds each.

Don't forget to call or email if you want quantities or want to select from the smaller or larger sizes of packages.  This way you are not restricted to what we have in stock in the van freezers on Saturday morning.

Have a great day.
