OKTOBERFEST FUN and BRATWURST

Well It is Oktoberfest time I usually get some requests for how to
have a fun Oktoberfest get together and cook Bratwurst. With the
German music and the crisp weather, some good hearty German food and
beer this is the perfect way to bring in the fall.

Buy enough Bratwurst to go around-at least 1 per person. Anyone with a
hearty appetite will want "seconds."

STOVETOP METHOD

1.Prick each sausage with a sharp fork, to keep them from bursting
during
cooking.
2. Put into a skillet with about½ inch of beer(preferebly a dark beer)
or water, and cover.
3. Cook over medium heat till beer or water is evaporated.
4. Uncover and brown a bit, over low heat, in the small amount of fat
left in the skillet.
5. For added flavor add 1 or 2 onions cut into strips after the brats
are browned and cook till onions are soft and browned a bit.

BBQ METHOD

Follow the stove top method for the first 3 steps. This can be done a
day ahead.
Transfer the blanched bratwurst to the BBQ and cook till brown and
plump.
Blanching the Bratwurst first insures that they will be done on the
inside when they are the perfect browness on the grill.

Be sure to have some good mustard, like a German deli mustard with the
seeds still in it or a sweet hot mustard is what I use in the
restaurant. You can add some honey to mustard to give it this same
quality. Also sauerkraut is a must to have for those that want it.

These are very good with Hot German Potato Salad, Sauerkraut or
Sweet-and-sour red cabbage. Potato pancakes are a perfect
accompaniment, also.

If you want to get an Oktoberfest Beer, Paulaner is exceptional,
Spaten is good also. These are both old German brewerys. They are
generally available in many grocery stores during this time of year.
An Oktoberfest beer is made in March and fermented in the keg until
Oktoberfest time about September. It has a special flavor, which is
mild and light amber. Oktoberfest in Germany always starts with the
traditional tapping of the keg.

Go get some good Om pah music or download some from the net. Turn on
and enjoy.
It is hard to not smile and be happy with this fun music, before long
you will feel like clapping your hands and stomping your feet or doing
a polka or the chicken dance.
Email me if you need to know some good German music artists. Enjoy the
Oktoberfest time!!

Household Tips
Repair Cast-iron Cookware
Did you know you could repair cracks in old cast-iron cookware? Here
how you do it. Beat some egg whites to a froth, then add enough
powdered quick lime to make a consistent paste. Take some iron file
dust and stir it into the paste until it gets thick. Fill the cracks
of your ironware with this cement. Wait at least a month before you
use the pan.

Keep the Flies Away
Brush your screen doors with kerosene to prevent flies from entering
the house every time someone opens the door.

Better than Bleach
Make a faded old dress perfectly white by boiling it in cream of
tartar water.
----------------

Sausages and Fried Apples ~
Prick the sausages well with a fork. place in a deep frying pan; pour
in enough boiling water to cover the bottom; cover and cook over a
moderate fire. When the water evaporates remove the cover an turn
several times that they may be nicely browned. Turn onto a platter.
Core a number of large tart apples cut them in rings an inch thick
and fry in the sausage fat. Garnish the sausage with the apples and
serve.
---------------------------------

Apple Sandwich
Cut lady-finger cakes in halves and spread with apple sauce; press
halves together and cover with whipped cream and walnuts chopped fine.
