what's on the menue for EASTER?

[reinhard1]

this easter i am making rouladen, [with some of the best gravey in the world] real authentic german potato dumplings and for a side dish my most asked for side dish--sourkrout with bacon and all the drippings. some corn also. some kids just aint into sourkrout yet. pies, buns, venison summer sausage for snacks along with pickled pike. so what's on your menue???? good luck.

That sounds excellent, all of it. How about Trout?

[reinhard1]

there will be plenty of trout meals after the opener. if i'm fortunate to get a looper i will use third eye's dry cure and smoke them. yummmmm good luck.

Mouth watering RH.

Pretty sure its ham, augrats, green beans, rolls, salad for us.

I'm looking forward to it.

The kraut dish sounds really good.

Share that reciepe ?

I'm only allowed to eat kraut a couple times a year, and never before ice fishing ,

adding bacon is an excellent idea.

[reinhard1]

sure, the krout with the bacon reciepe is in the cooking and reciepe forum under the thred "hey Reinhard a ? for you [along with the dumpling reciepe]. the rouladen reciepe is under the thread "Reinhard do you have a rouladen reciepe"? actualy the hardest of the three is the dumpling proceedure. my youngest daughter is the only one of us that gets it right every time. it's all about the texture in the end with the dumplings. good luck.

In true Slovenian fashion: sarmas, zenkrofe, and potica are on

our menu.

Looks like I'll be putting in extra time at the gym this

week!!

I'll be smoking multiple racks of Ribs with a mix of 3 Rib Rubs that came from trying about 18-20 Rib Rubs.

Happy Easter everyone!

[reinhard1]

[reinhard1]

I am trying to talk the wife into Heggies pizzas for Easter!!!!

I'm kind of undecided on Easter.... I might do a pork loin roast on the smoker. Or maybe just brine and roast a chicken and grill it.

Edit... just got a call from Mrs ~t~, she found some great lookin baby back ribs at the market for Easter.

As far as what's cookin this weekend, that's another story.... Today I started soaking 2 store bought corned beef brisket flats, I'll be using them to make pastrami on Sunday. Mrs ~t~ is taking a meat and cheese tray into work on Monday.

I also have a bunch of green chile's and poblano's that I'll roast with my weed burner this afternoon. We're making a big batch of green chili this weekend, mostly for the freezer and some for giveaways.

I will keep a few of the poblano's and make some of these open face bean boat thingies....

[reinhard1]

man, that looks awesome!!! you say you froze some peppers. this year i will have my first garden. peppers are one of the items. just freeze them after picking and maby in a vacume seal bag? thanks. good luck.

[Chef]

Frittata, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Sprial Cut Ham, Mimosas

[reinhard1]

sounds like a great plan. and very creative. good luck.

Maybe I got my "i"'s and "e"'s mixed up....I meant that I was making the green chili for the freezer. In your neck of the woods maybe they call it pork chili. It calls for ground pork butt, green chile's, tomatillios, serrano's, poblano's, seasonings and broth. It has no tomato products or chile powders so it's really green.

As far as the chile's go, after roasting them leave the blistered skins on and put in a paper bag for a 30 minutes or so. This loosens the skin, but for freezing... don't remove it. Freeze them with the skins on and when you thaw them later, the skins slip off easily, or you can help them a bit under running water. We try to package them accordingly to make one batch of the chili from each bag of chile's.

We are doing something totally different this year. We are going out to an Easter buffet on our way up to the Arrowwood Resort. We'll play at the waterpark for awhile, then hubby and the kids will head for home. Monday morning I'll be heading north to surprise my sister for her 50th birthday.

[reinhard1]

thanks, will do. good luck.

[Archerysniper]

[reinhard1]

Ham

I'm not big into ham but my favorite part is that fat that you find just under the dark rind

[ishy]

Ham. Smoked,reheated, on the Weber with some Cherry wood. And what ever else the wife is throwing together. fun stuff I am sure..Eggs and cookies have been made tonight.

[thirdeye]

I did some different cookin' this weekend. Friday I made an appetizer which was a corndog wrapped in burger seasoned with jalapenos and wrapped in bacon.

Today I smoked a couple of corned beef briskets for pastrami. Then did a deli-style pressure finish on them.

Then for Easter dinner is was ribs.

[reinhard1]

great idea with the corn dog wrap. wonderfull pastrami. and the ribs look awesome. i brought my 56 rouladen that i pre-made last night, along with the krout/bacon mix and 15 pounds of potatoes for german dumplings to my daughters for the easter meal. just one item i forgot at my house the RISER. could not believe it. my mind on food and not on the tools. well that ended all hope for dumplings so we had 15 pounds of mashed potatoes instead. the family and guests thought the meal was good anyway but i was looking forward for those dumplings big time. great gravey as usual from those roladen. glad you had a great easter meal. it was a great day to be with the family. good luck.
