Brats with Mexican Street Corn Salad

When you follow the recipe, it tastes better. This time I ended up using jalapeño powder, instead of the chile lime powder that I used last time, and it was much more consistent, balanced and a lot better.

Pork Hot Dogs and Black Bean Salad With Corn, Cilantro, and Chili-Lime Vinaigrette

This was a nice, multi-textured side salad. Simple to make, and pretty good. I was careful to measure the lime juice. Nice pairing with the all pork hot dogs

Pasta with Sausage, Basil and Mustard

A bid to try to get things done.

I couldn’t find two Spicy Italian sausage packages in the freezer so I I used one spicy and one sweet.

I pulled out the basil out, and it looked like it had turned, so I tossed it.

I tossed the salt into the water, perhaps a bit to much, it boiled over with quite a ferocity, even putting out the gas burner. I had to let the air clear a bit before relighting.

Other then that, it turned out pretty good.

Until it tried to kill me.

A bit of sausage tried to enter my lungs, one way or the other, and I spent a bit of time hacking up a bit of lung and sausage, and after that, and catching my breath, things were fine after that.

Still good, I like low level taste of mustard, a bit and cream and the sausage. I would like to try it with basil and also not choke on it to get an honest assessment.

Grilled Cheese Eggsplosion

I went into this expecting to mess them up. Per my wife, her grandfather made toad in the hole a number of times. So I followed the directions, even using the shorter sourdough loaf I’ve been buying. It still worked out for the most part. Strangely enough, the first one turned out prettier then the second (mine). This is a bit of an excessive recipe, to be sure, but even so, it was fun to make and pretty good.

Frittata With Bacon, Corn, and Gruyère Recipe

I got my replacement 10” non stick pan. I started tings going, got the corn ready by defrosting it in the microwave. Following the directions as written. I didn’t add Gruyere to my list for some reason, so I just swapped out cheddar. I was working along and finishing up. It was pretty good.

The next morning, however, I went to microwave something, and there was the corn, in the microwave.

So uh…No corn? Anyways, it was still fine.
