A couple different kinds of brats tonite. Still feeling out the new ownership at the meat market. Cooked brats & fresh brats. Much prefer the fresh brats as I added my own apple wood smoke in the Weber. Some Mrs. Gerry's summer pasta salad & tater salad along with some cheeps. Ate outside & the birds stole the show. Cardinals,  orioles, wrens, brown thrashers, chickadees, goldfinches, song sparrows, chipping sparrows, hummingbirds, robins, red-winged blackbirds, Canada geese & pheasants. Frogs & toads are just starting to get it cranked up. Best of all Mrs. Cheviot left me alone. :happy1:

So Dotch, why wouldn't the new owners have the previous  owners recipes for the meats from the same facility!! :scratch: :doah:

By the way, you frame that "special" knife?? :sleazy: :evil: :rotflmao:

They did keep the recipes and rights to make most of the stuff. Trouble is, they either don't keep the product stocked or they venture back further to several owners ago when the one guy's grandpa owned the market. That's what I suspect happened with the cooked brats. Never saw them when the previous owner still had it. Bugtussle can be a fickle town that way too. Lots of old farts with memories of something that was made there 40-50 years ago that they thought was great. It sucked then too, they just didn't know any better! We ran into that with a Lion's Club pancake feed a few years ago. Some old codgers pushed us to go back to a sausage recipe from a bygone era made at the locker plant. The maple flavored sausages Dean was supplying us were awesome. At the behest of the old guard however, he went ahead and made a special batch of sausages using the sacred "old recipe". Guess what? The sausages were awful. More wound up in the trash than were eaten. Everyone hated them except a few old farts and Ruby of course! :doah:

Yeah, the good ol' days weren't always so good.  And neither was the food apparently.   :bonk: :rotflmao:

Great nite to grill last nite. Still & warm out with birds providing live entertainment. Mandarin teriyaki chicken boobs, seared then grilled indirect with pear & apple wood, along with a side of peas and carrots w/cheeps. Stayed outside until after dusk and avoided Mrs. Cheviot's advances by locking the patio door. Good thing too as it sounded like an absolute toad orgy coming from the wetland once it started getting dark. Makes one wonder just how many of them there are down there. No tellin' what might've happened if she'd heard that.  :rolleyes:

One wood think their 9 year old golden retriever could be trusted with groceries in the back seat of your vehicle,after all they beg to tag along.

So outof the kindness of my heart after a long weekend w/o my boi I had him "kennel-up" and off we went to our grocery store as I was thinking steak night,well that was until I got sticker shock,$30/lb boneless -prime ribeye,with beef on my radar another chicken grill night wasn't going to cut it.

found a nice thick cut "chuck-eye" every bit as good as ribeye just a little more fat to sear off,but still 8.99/lb,last summer ribeye choice cuts were $6.99/lb.

So on the way home ole sneaky Duce got into my grocery bag w/o making a sound snarfed down the twofer pack of my soon to be chuck steaks,wrapper n all w/o me having a clue until in the kitchen prepping,charcoal on the grill was rolling,mushrooms simmering in garlic butter,time to prep the steaks,ole big eyes eyeballing me the entire time not saying a word.Whilst on packing my groceries....no steak!,thought I was cracking up, in my old age bagging my own groceries it's not uncommon to miss an item once in awhile as one bags,went to my vehicle to double check the back seat,bingo chewed up evidence .

just finished my left over mac-n-cheese for breakfast now.

I swear my boi has thumbs,the shete he get's in to.ugh.

With just Buddy I could leave a loaf of fresh bread on the dash and didn't even worry about it.  When Cooper appeared I knew that was not going to work so started putting groceries in the back of the truck since I have a topper.  Gotta love em.  lol

My first Border, Lucy, was an exception. She lived in the garage and never messed with groceries in the pickup, pulled things off the counter or took food unless she was told it was OK. Several times she was left in the truck with ample opportunity. She was all business. Every dog before and since that one, not so much. When we got Fudgie back from my Mom once she was in the care center, I was prepping some food on the counter. Next thing I know there are two paws on the counter beside me. Reflex action, I backhanded the dog and after she hit the floor she looked at me like "WTH was that?". Gee, I wonder why?  :scratch:

If we eat in the front room in front of the TV we use TV trays.  Sometimes I need to go get something else and Cooper is right at the level where he could eat right off my plate.  If the wife isn't right there watching him I make him come in the kitchen with me to get what I forgot.  I don't trust him alone with my food on the TV tray.  LOL

Range war on a plate last nite. A sirloin & three lamb chops from our new batch of lamb. Was chops for the win! Seasoned with Cavenders, seared to perfection, grilled a few minute per side and man were they tender. Rice pilaf & green beans from last years crop. Only a couple more packages left.  :sad: I must've blinded Mrs. Cheviot with my footwork as she tired of the chase upon eating.  :cool:
