What did you cook or eat today (February 2025)

Adirondack chili - not that that’s a thing, but it allows for some flexibility on the ingredients. Recipe is from “the oldest tavern in the Adirondacks.”

I’ve never been able to detect a whole lot, but it’s a very popular way to prepare them here, especially in the Upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc) - we used to go to tailgate parties with massive pans/barrel halves filled with beer brats.

Usually, the recommended beer is the cheap stuff. You don’t want a really hoppy beer or a strongly flavored beer, you want something mild.

When I make brats I simmer them in beer, sliced onions and butter for about 30 minutes. Then on to the grill to finish. My tip is use Angry Orchard Apple beer.

I deep fried some chicken tenders tonight. Spiced just right. Made fries as well with my homemade ketchup. Forgot how spicy that was. Now I’m going to have to try to stay awake.

That looks good - and very flexible!

Sliced onions and butter! I've got two left and that'll be a whirl!

That sounds interesting. Have you ever posted up a recipe for that?

I’ll use the onion, but never thought about the butter. Usually I’ll simmer them in something like Busch or Natty Light.

I'm still convinced the leftover beer could be turned into a gravy or sauce.

I still vote for the sausages straight on the charcoal grill and the beer in my glass

But if you were forced to cook them in beer...would you find a way to use the beer? Obviously can't drink it but...

Of course
I can't condone alcohol abuse

Going to need a bit more info on the “rice porridge”
I’m struggling with the concept.
