OK, Guys. Landy sent the pourous one home from the CA-AVE (sorry Shady), with a load of Wisconsin's finest Bratwurst. We gave him instructions on how to cook them, but he must have gotten confused and blew up his gas grill.

Sponge Bob needs the instructions on cooking his Brats. Let's give him our top destructions, so he may enjoy our sausage the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Here's my favorite recipe:

1. Get case of beer. Open one and taste.[:bigsmile:]
2. Get a large pot, and deposit brats within.
3. Taste beer.[:bigsmile:]
4. Open more beers, and pour in pot until brats are just covered. Heat to boiling.
5. Taste more beer.[:bigsmile:]
6. Slice one large white onion, and deposit in pot with brats and beer.
7. Wipe tears from eyes. Taste more beer. Probably open new one.[:bigsmile:]
8. Add 1/2 stick of real butter to pot. Heat to boiling, and then simmer, about 1/2 hour.
9. Preheat grill, and watch it get hot while tasting beer.[:bigsmile:]
10. Put brats on grill, turning often to brown evenly. If the fire flares, douse with beer.(or you could drink the beer, and douse with water.)[:bigsmile:]
11. Serve on large potato-bun with chopped onions, pickle relish, jalepenos, sauerkraut, mustard, ketchup, whatever you like. Sides of baked beans, and Potatoe Salad. Yum, Yum[:p] Oh, and beer![:bigsmile:]
12. Drink rest of beer, rubbing satiated belly.

Enjoy, Oh Spongey One!![:bigsmile:]

Sponge, come to the Bone Lake outing!! [:bigsmile:]

Good eating,

Dude, I don't drink so I'll try Birch Beer or Root Beer....do you really boil them first????? If so then i may as well go buy a grill.....this time a charcoal....gas is probably too much for me to handle...second one I've destroyed.....] [:sun:]

LOL he spelled it potatoE! Hey Dan Quale, no self respecting brat lover would ever even think of puting ketchup on any sausage product, especially a brat! Save your ketchup for burgers.

OF COURSE you boil them first. We haven't figured out a way to get the beer into them any other way yet, and beer doesn't burn, so one must boil!!

No nasty alcohol beer works fine too.

Spelled it Potatoe in honor of Dan Quayle. Remember, he was right! Would have had my vote, had he made it this far. And I do put ketchup on my brats. I also eat PB and Mayo samitches!!

Sponge, you can use real beer in the pot. Alky boils off at around 160 degrees F. The beer is to flavor the brats, and to make sure they are cooked all the way through. It also reduces time on the grill. Less time on the grill = less chance to blow up the neighborhood![:bigsmile:]

Anybody else got a favorite way to cook Brats? Let's give the Pourous One a selection to choose from.[:praise:]

I really like the boil in the brewski way first of all but that is not he only way to enjoy the fine taste of Wisconsin Brats. Sometimes I take them out of the casings, make them into patties and cook them all the way on the grill (actual charcoal) of course. To treat your brats any other way is blasphemy in WI. This gets a lot of smoke rolling up around the "Brat Patties" and they are very tasty on a bun covered with onions and kraut. This is just a change of pace once in a while. Brats are supposed to be in sausage form but they sure taste good with the skins off.

I like to fry taters w/onions and just lay the brats on top when the taters are almost done. Don't forget to put a lid on the skillet though. mmmmmmm Now I'm gett'n hungry[:p] [:p] [:p] [:p] [:p] [:p] [:p]

Ok, first, you gotta tie yer canoe on top of yer truck and drive down to south central Missouri. Put in on the Jacks Fork River, as far up river as the seasonal water levels allow, and float for a couple hours. Round about mid-afternoon, stop at sandbar, take a swim and set up camp. Dig a hole in the sandbar, build a nice fire, let the coals fill the hole, place a grill above and position brats there-on. Turn as frequently as needed to cook through and through. Don't overcook. Place on fresh potato buns with mustard and relish, but no onions because after star-gazing yer gonna be in a little backpacking tent with yer sweetie.

That's how I like my brats.

Jason! You missed changing the topic title on this one. Hope you don't get in trouble for that.[;)]

My computer is working over time, compiling a list of all Universities and Colleges in the world that had, have, or ever plan to have a course with one-oh-one in it's title. I will forward this list to the appropriate whiners for further action.[:bigsmile:]

Sponge, you get a safer grill yet?


Tight lines,

PS. Some people need to stop wearing such tight underwear.[:0]
