How Can I Have a Cold When it is so Nice Out

Figures, the Wx is gorgeous and I have a cold. That's not going to stop me from grilling up a bunch of bratwurst, no way. The time I am too sick to pick up my spatula is the time to dig the hole 'cause I am toast.

I am of the opinion that my son-in-law may be a communist. I arrived at this conclusion after he told me he didn't like bratwurst, which is funny in that he has lived in Germany. If you don't eat your bratwurst in Germany they send you to a special camp and forget about you. Not quite so harsh in Wisconsin, they just won't let you, probably refer you to our FIB neighbor to the South, Illafrikkinoise. Most FIBS wouldn't know a bratwurst if it bit them in the ass. FIB stands for "Foolish Illinois Boys," except the F and the B are usually more profane.

Well hope you all had a great cold free weekend!!

Those bratwurst should fix you up.

I made some on Friday night. with grilled onions and peppers and a splash of beer. Everyone asked for seconds and thirds so I figured they came out alright.

Spring colds suck! Fortunately, brats are chock full of essential vitamins and minerals. Hope you're feeling better soon!

no cold for me ..
but it's been very blustery and really rather nippy down south ..

and you are such a silly man ..

in germany if you don't eat your bratwurst they don't send you to a special camp ..

they send you to my relatives who will not let you leave the table until you've eaten what's being served and then they insist on you eating 2nd and 3rd helpings ...



and then they are still worried after an hour that you might still be starving, so they serve you kaffee und kuchen ..

..finally followed by a good schnaps ..

I think foam may be on to something. Paricularly the schnaps.

I prefer a black Russian, but that is just a matter of taste.

Get better quickly. That's an order. snerx.

Bratwurst is like air to Germans. Maybe the son-in-law was trying to be funny, it's the type of straight faced joke a German (or someone who has lived in Germany) would make.

Hope you feel better.

I would have to agree, only a communist couldn't like bratwurst.

as a nine year old, I would beg and beg and beg the Old Man for pocket change which I would haul down and buy bratwurst and gummi bears from a local who wheeled his addiction cart through the village every day.

mmmmmm

Mouthwatering, and, for information purposes only, without that bun they served it on, it wasn't the same.
