What did everyone cook today?

Appetizer station for a small reception.

Chef That is impressive. Have you ever done those water melon fruit baskets? I used to do them a long time ago when getting together with friends that liked to cook & have a good time.

calldoctoday I have, typically people just don’t appreciate that kind of stuff today. Use to do much more carving, but with the competitive nature of this market, it is just hard to justify it. People today just want inexpensive, not upper end displays. I’m just too old fashion… Guess I’m outliving my usefulness.
This is the kind of displays I did just 10 years ago -

Looks good chef. I’m more laid back.
Today it was smoked hot dogs and sous vide deer steaks. Not fancy but delicious -
First, Tex_77 I have been hankering for just a nice beer brat recently and your post made up my mind, I am making it this week. Chef that is a nice spread and some great art work!

Jonathon Do you add beer to the beer brat mix when you make yours? When we made those we didn’t add any extra liquid.

Tex_77 I add liquid to every batch of sausage whether it’s scratch made or an Excalibur seasoning at a rate of approx. 1 C. per 10 lbs… The only thing better than beer is more beer! I will dissolve my seasonings in the liquid and let rest for 10 minutes or so and stir before adding. It seems to help disperse the seasoning better and the extra liquid helps cook the brat by steaming from the inside out.

Joe Hell Good to know, my thought was that adding liquids would dilute the flavor.

Tex_77 Well, you have to add liquid anyway. So, there’s no reason it can’t be beer.

A “little” chicken, home grown sweet corn from my niece and my Aunt Arlene’s pickled beets. The Leinie’s Honey Weiss paired well.

PapaSop Now don’t get me wrong, that chicken & corn looks real good & you do have my mouth watering. What I would like to get ahold of though, is some of that Lennie’s, especially the Grapefruit Shandy or the Honey Weiss. I have not been able to get any Lennie’s down here since this Corona Business started, & it is Summer Time!

Made up my last flank steak for fajitas today after marinading in PA’s Black Bull, no pics it went to fast. Leinnies Summer Shanty is pretty good this time of year, when I lived in Germany they had something similar called a Raddler, a wheat beer and lemonade mix. Just something to try if you can’t get your Shanty fix. The grapefruit one is good for a change of pace.

Jonathon hahaha now I have George Carlin AND Monty Python swimming around in my tiny brain

Good fishing up in Wisconsin too, although it has ben a while since I have been up that way. I sure do miss the Lennie’s down here this Summer.

I have not tried their Dark Lager at all & never realized they had it. It sounds good though as my favorite in general is a nice creamy Porter.

I don’t have any pics because, well, we ate it all. However, I was doing a “freezer audit” and came across a few boned-out chicken thighs I had left over from a recent batch of chicken sausage. Time for the Instant Pot!
Just season them in whatever manner turns you on (this was S&P, smoked paprika, zaat’ar, cumin), and fry them for a few minutes on each side using the sautée function. Take them out, pour in about a cup of liquid (I had some bird stock handy, but even water will do), put in the IP trivet, and put the thighs on the trivet. Pressure cook them on the poultry setting for 10 minutes. Allow a natural release for 5 minutes, and you’re bingo!

TexLaw Yep, sometimes pics are difficult when the tribe is ravenous. BTW: There’s a definite place in the world for pressure cookers when appropriate. They deliver tenderness in a short period of time. Glad your result was outstanding.
