More Food That Tastes Particularly Good in the Summertime

 Saturday, June 13, 2026

A couple nights ago we had the same dinner as pictured above except for one difference. Tonight we had brats on the grill instead of burgers. It was delicious. I like my brats with mustard, no ketchup, and lots of baked beans. Add some potato salad and cole slaw and it makes for the perfect summer meal. 

Cigar before dinner. No cocktails though. I'm off the sauce for the time being.

Brats At Last

 Monday, May 25, 2026

We stopped by the store ealier today and picked up some more brats. Dale cooked them up on the grill...

...and they were delicious.

We also had baked beans, cole slaw, and potato salad. It's really starting to feel like summer. 

Cigar, Cocktails, and Then Dinner

 Sunday, May 24, 2026

Cigar and an Old Fashioned in the back yard this afternoon. As we got closer to dinner Dale joined me. He had a glass of wine. 

Beautiful day to sit in the yard. It was warm enough to feel like summer rather than spring. We were gonna use our new grill and make some brats we got just a week ago. They were fully packaged and in the fridge, however, when Dale opened them up the stank that was released was so nasty there was no way we were gonna eat 'em. And, they were still a few days away from the best-if-used-by day too! Dale had just gone to the store to pick up the fixings he was gonna make with the brats and, understandably, didn't feel like going back. However, he did grill up the asparagus for tonights dinner and we ate it as an appetizer. We ordered Chinese from our neighborhood take-out place. It was delicious. We'll pick up some more brats tomorrow. 

Brats

Dale and I made brats on the grill recently for the first time this season. Potato salad and kraut both from Kowalski's.  So glad grilling season has begun.

Steaks on the Grill

Dale made steaks on the grill last night and let me just say...
