Mmmm snacks… you mean those little things I make in the crockpot for Halloween and New Year’s parties… those are so easy! It’s those bacon wrapped water chestnuts that are such a pain to make. Like the cocktail weenies much better.
Dark German Beer. . .mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Is there anything inconsistent with just getting the coffee to wake me up and now switching to a nice frosty dark beer? Nahh!
Through the magic of star dust, it came out german in my glass. . .you did notice that I brought my own glass with me. . .a little known trick of the stardust magic trade!
Now Shirl you know how to drink a beer. No bottles or cans. Has to be a glass or for me a mug. I’ve still got tons of them packed away I’ll probably never use again.
When we lived in Evansville, we used to go to bierstubes all the time. It took me awhile to get used to the idea that most of them were run by churches.
escapades I had when I lived in WI were going up to Sheboygan (home of Kohler toilets) and going to Catholic church brat fries (on Sundays no less). The brats were cheap, the beer ran freely and cheaply, and there was always a polka band composed of fat old men huffing their way through the standards. Now that’s down home beer, brat and drunken stomping time. And then if you stayed long enough… the bingo boards came out. LOL
At the stubes, there would be truck from the local brewery, much cheap food, bad accordian playing (though eventually no one cared that it was bad) and often people dancing on table tops. But no bingo.
provincials round those parts, hey? The “let’s go by <insert person’s name> once, hey?” expression used to drive me batty, as it almost never involved actually going somewhere!
Some of the other very common ‘tics’ (as I called them) were to end any sort of sentence by adding “ya, der hey!” or adding “once” to a statement, even if you planned on doing something multiple times. To wit: “Hey dere NDD, let’s go drink some beers once, ya der hey!”
I like those little cocktail weenies too. But no imported beer for me; my stomach is still turning at the thought of beer, especially any beer that comes in green bottles.
my boss couldn’t be convinced that I was severely incapacitated and therefore shouldn’t be overly zealous with my task list. The good thing about blogging is that the noise of my keyboard makes its way to her ears next door and she thinks I’m working. O:-)
Here’s another song I found while I was surfing around looking for authentic German lyrics (which I found, and I was close, but not quite right on):
/Es gibt kein Bier auf Hawaii, es gibt kein Bier
Drum fahr’ ich nicht nach Hawaii, drum bleib’ ich hier
Es gibt kein Bier auf Hawaii, kein kuhles Pfleg,
Und nur vom Hula Hula geht der Durst nicht weg. /
There’s no beer in Hawaii, there’s no beer
That’s why I’m never going to Hawaii, that’s why I’m staying here
There’s no beer in Hawaii, no cool breeze,
And hula by itself won’t make my thirst go away.
No, I have no idea what the tune is. Maybe I’ll make one up.
I was lucky enough to go to three Oktoberfest. Finding a place to sit and giant tents and drinking alllllllll that bier. But there were always other things, oh and singing.
I normally make about 4 pounds worth so it’s a bit odd seeing it reduced like this. The BOLD is my alterations after all these years of making them. These are great for hockey viewing. They are quite addictive.
Jalapeno Poppers
1 lb jalapeno peppers (cut in half and seeded) wear gloves and goggles
2 slices bacon(diced) yeah riiight – try at least 6 slices of peppered bacon
4 oz cream cheese (softened) can use neufchatel cream cheese 1/3 the fat
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese (grated)I use Pepper Jack instead
1 tsp cayene pepper
1 tsp chili powder or your own dried serranoes
1 tsp garlic salt WTF? use about a tbsp or 2 of chopped garlic
1 dash Mongolian Fire Oil a big whallop of that or Dynasty’s Chili Oil which has flakes of peppers – go crazy
1 small onion (diced)
Bread crumbs
Heat oven to 400°.
Cook bacon, toss in onion during final minute. Set aside.
Combine rest of ingredients except peppers. Mix in bacon and onions.
Place healthy amounts in each pepper half. Roll top of stuffed pepper in bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet lined with foil.
Bake for 40 minutes watch after 30 mins. Leftovers can be frozen and reheated
I submit to you that if you’re putting six strips of bacon in this devil’s concoction, you have no business worrying about the difference in fat between neufchatel and cream cheese.
I just looked at those ingredients and felt my arteries hardening. Granted the neufchatel would give you less fat than the cream cheese, but when you consider that this recipe already has bacon and two kinds of cheeses, I think we’re talking about the difference between mega-overdoing it and super-mega-overdoing it.
but I hope to get back to the pacnorwet …here ya go: kgnu Blues Legacy, F. 6-9 PMDT (you’ll have to guess which one iyam)…sometimes it works…sometimes it don’t…:{)
I thought they just grew on deli shelves overnight.
Haha . . . just kidding. I used to make cheesecakes many many years ago, but haven’t since we moved to Seattle. I don’t think I ever used neufchatel, but it’s been so long I can’t remember.
Ad Cali-Scribe knows, my daughter writes and posts images for a hockey pool. She’s been doing this for years. She started out with just posting pictures to go with her picks.
Today’s poem was a bit on the violent side.
bruises and band aids
bloody teeth bounce off the glass
spit freezes on ice
Watching the Sharks and the Oilers go at it, is she? They had some nasty checkin’ going on yesterday, and the refs were letting them play rather than calling them every time someone threw a cross-eye check.
is indisposed for the moment – so you get the old Frau.
What’ll ya have?
What? There’s an old frau in here? Where? I don’t see no old fraus around here…
I could use a nice cold Beck’s right about now, if you don’t mind. 🙂
Sorry, you get the old frau until Helga comes back.
I think we need some snacks too. I’m in the mood for those little weenies in a crockpot – you know, fancy stuff like that.
Mmmm snacks… you mean those little things I make in the crockpot for Halloween and New Year’s parties… those are so easy! It’s those bacon wrapped water chestnuts that are such a pain to make. Like the cocktail weenies much better.
Ooh, I love those bacon, water chestnut things! Now I’m really hungry and we’re having breakfast for dinner – corned beef hash and eggs.
Mmm, that sounds good. Can I invite myself over?
Why soitanly!
I’m on a mission. Try this instead.
Thanks AndiF. . .if you’re offering, I’m a taking. . .
Dark German Beer. . .mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Is there anything inconsistent with just getting the coffee to wake me up and now switching to a nice frosty dark beer? Nahh!
Sounds perfectly right to me.
Skol!
And you know. . .that Helga has an attitude, I’ll be liking this cutie fauline taking her place. Hi Liebchen!
And just to be consistent, I can misspell words in 37 languages! Hah!
I led you astray — that beer is British.
British beer at a German bierfest? Andi.
A good beer is international.
Actually my favorite beer is Leffe Bruin (belgium) but you can’t get it in this country.
Actually I can’t even remember what my favorite beer was now. There were so many. 🙂
Through the magic of star dust, it came out german in my glass. . .you did notice that I brought my own glass with me. . .a little known trick of the stardust magic trade!

Ahem. I have been to Sheboygan and Kohler both.

but I did go to enough different buildings at kohler to be fascinated with all the different ways they could think up to flush a toilet.

vere are you at now, den?
T being with I’ll have a German (actually Czech beer) Budwieser, followed by a doublebach (sp) and a shot of appel snapps.
I think I’ve had to much already. I can’t even get my sentences out right.
Sure, coming right up. Virtually of course. I thought the Fraulein would bring you in.
Yea that got me, but I’m done with the lawn for the day.
FM – 0
Snake – 1
Did you have another frightening encounter with a king cobra?
I’m not sure it it was a king cobra or a worm, but looked snakey enough for me to stop for the day.
Could have been a twig. 🙂
Not that you were looking for a reason to stop or anything.
Do I ever need an excuse not to exert myself?
My dear Frau, you forget to whom you speak. 🙂
I’m speaking to a man who confuses a worm with a snake. Oh, wait a minute – all men do that.
the hooded cobras add to the muddled clarity on definitions.
Not those of us with bi-focals. 😛
Nobody is topping that line tonight.
generally avoid that sort of discussion.
Hmm, I’m almost afraid to ask what that means…
I like those little cocktail weenies too. But no imported beer for me; my stomach is still turning at the thought of beer, especially any beer that comes in green bottles.
You just didn’t have the right imported beer.
Maybe not, but I swear I’ve now tried every single import that comes in a green bottle. No more for a while for me 😉
So now you have to try everyone of the brown bottled ones.
Now Mary, maybe where you went wrong was trying all of them in one night… ?
yes, I’ve learned my lesson. people kept handing bottles to me … i’ve got to learn how to say no.
no (firmly)
or
no (smiling and shaking head gently)
or
no (backing away and making a cross with fingers)
I like the, NO – Oh what the hell, I’ll take another.
That’s what caused the problem in the first place.
Oh, then never mind.
Certainly not Frau . . . Blucher!
< whinny!!! >
Vood you like some Ovallllltine?? 🙂
Und Brats…eh
Ah, the best head in town, that Fraulein Helga.
I’m with you there, dada. Not touching that, no way, no how. (though I briefly considered it) hehe
Discretion has never been a strong suit of mine…but I’m learnin’…;{)
Just say she must be multi-talented to handle eight heads (of beer) at once.
Without spilling a drop. And with a big smile on her face too.

I approve of this kind of humor. 🙂
Well thank goodness someone does. Suddenly they all got religion on me!
🙂
How’s your boo boo feeling?
my boss couldn’t be convinced that I was severely incapacitated and therefore shouldn’t be overly zealous with my task list. The good thing about blogging is that the noise of my keyboard makes its way to her ears next door and she thinks I’m working. O:-)
Cool how those keyboard sounds help huh? Has kept me otu of trouble many times myself. hehe.
Not really. We’re all just carefully thinking about how to top that head.
Are you finished with exams, moved home and on dialup now? (I think I remember you saying you’d be on dialup).
In Himmel es gibt kein Bier,
Und so wir trinken hier,
Und wann wir lassen hier,
Dann un’s’re Freunden trinken noch das Bier!
C’mon, you know the tune. It’s probably a rotten translation, but after three or four of those armfuls who’s going to know or care?
That’s going to be in my head all night, replacing “America, Fuck yeah” from Team America.
Here’s another song I found while I was surfing around looking for authentic German lyrics (which I found, and I was close, but not quite right on):

You want Fraus you got Fraus.
Now let’s see if we can prove that Howard Kaloogian actually took that picture at an IHOP in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
< snicker >
Thank God for goggle. Had no idea what you were talking about.
Funny! And weird that I even remember who he is after, what, 2 months? I usually have a much shorter attention span.

Omir, you beat me to it! I was just about to say exactly the same thing! I swear you’re a mind reader sometimes, my friend!
Thx for posting DJ… I’m heading out from the office now but will load the page up later and print it out at home.
See you folks later… going home for a real Sconnie Beer!
See ya later.

My favorite is telling myself that food doesn’t have any calories if you eat it standing up.
Actually I just have better luck with neufchatel cheese than cream cheese. 🙂 Bakes better in cheesecakes, too for some reason.
I thought they just grew on deli shelves overnight.
Haha . . . just kidding. I used to make cheesecakes many many years ago, but haven’t since we moved to Seattle. I don’t think I ever used neufchatel, but it’s been so long I can’t remember.
See you all later, I’m off to another meeting.
Enjoy that meeting Mary.

Mad hockey cat says,
“Slippery slickery fight
Sharks wipe up the oil!”
I like em.
Watching the Sharks and the Oilers go at it, is she? They had some nasty checkin’ going on yesterday, and the refs were letting them play rather than calling them every time someone threw a cross-eye check.
I’m late for an appt. have to go right now. I won’t be back for an hour or more. Can someone put up a new one if this gets up there? thanks!
No Problem.
Down for the count…. nap attack! BRB
