Life is in the way right now, pal. I barely have time to cook. It’s coming.

No worries. Don’t misunderstand that as a nag. I hope life is treating you as well as your cooking. O-H

I-O!!!

Not gonna lie....things could be better. Just a buncha shit going on.

100% super chill. Very relaxing. I only get indica. I don’t need any energy from sativa. It makes my heart race. I’m energetic enough.

The only question I have is when can I grab my sleeping bag and come over?

Where is that?

These are the dispensaries in Naperville (click each for link):
Zen Leaf

Sunnyside

They are all awesome and within 10 minutes of Casa de Nape.

Pennsylvania... where we hand out Narcan to fucking junkies but weed is illegal.

Pennsylvania... Where you can’t buy liquor in grocery stores and have only been able to buy beer in gas stations for the last couple years.

Pennsylvania... where we have an obese cross dresser as the head of the health department telling us to follow science.

Pennsylvania... where our cuck governor got Covid somehow, even though he forced crippling shut downs, mask polices, and social distancing.

Pennsylvania... fuck this place.

Hard to cook them any other way......

 

[Simmer007]

I usually cook them and they burst on me, now I also like them that way because that’s what we grew up on in ottawa, the hotdog vendors would cook them then score them right before bumming them so they would sit straight

Ok I’m giving this one a try today. Just started.



Found Narragansett Tall Boys at the Harris Teeter. This is the New England version of Old Style- it’s what Quint was drinking while he was hunting Jaws

 

[Edau24]

Pro tip....put onions, cheese, and mustard under the brat to keep it from spilling out as it would when you put it on top.

Looks awesome. Can you get good fresh brats down your way?

There is a small butcher shop in WI that makes veal brats and they’ll send them anywhere. I’ll try to find the link. They are the top of the heap good.

Not this time. I like sport peppers but didn’t have any.

My local butcher shop has them occasionally but not this time. We have a grocery store that also has a sausage display somewhat similar to what you posted but they also didn’t have any so I’m going with Johnsonville, unless Dad can find some fresh ones at the aforementioned grocery store when he and mom come out this afternoon.

I’m also gonna cook these on a gas grill, because I don’t have any way to do indirect heat on my little 18” Webber. Open to suggestions as to how to work around that if anyone has any pointers.

Just turned off the onion garlic beer brine and letting it sit now for a bit

Johnsonville are good.

Looks like you boiled that. Are the onions melting away?

I didn’t boil- kept on a simmer on low heat. They have been off heat and covered now for a bit.




Might have let it simmer a bit long- did I fuck it up?

Looks good. You didn’t fuck it up. That first pic looked like it but the one above looks awesome. Golden and delicious.

Ok- most of the grilling done now and I have them stacked up off the flame - they are hitting the beer in about 5 minutes

 

[UNC71-00]

Bonus pic- we don’t have dispensaries in NC but my weed guy makes his own edibles. I would put them up against any commercially available product and they cost about half as much



that little guy right there is about 30mg for $10. Does the trick all day every day. I usually cut into 3rds

 

[UNC71-00]

I might have fucked it up at the end. When I put the bratwurst on the grill, I turned the burner on very low for the beer. However I had it covered and I hope that didn’t ruin the brine. Oh well.

 

[UNC71-00]

turned out great. Thanks again for the tutorial Nape

That’s tough to do. I’ll leave that to the experts. I’m still trying to get it right but it’s fucking impossible.
