If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I'm hosting our rec association Oktobefest at the clubhouse tonight. The main event is an American microbrew tasting. I picked out a half dozen craft beers, plus one madly expensive Creme Brulee ale. We'll have Bratwurst, sauerkraut, potato salad, cream puffs. Should be fun. |

Creme Brulee ale! Now that sounds interesting! |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

You know, you probably should taste each before everybody shows up. Just to make sure you didn't get a bad batch and to make sure they are being served at the right temp. |

The evening was a rousing success, ended up watching the BARNBURNER Michigan Notre Dame game (three touchdowns in the last 1:12 with Michigan on top - take THAT Brian Kelly, you traitorous sonofabitch) while the women did a most marvelously erotic show with the jello shots someone brought a bucket of. The nearly irrelevant beer servings were: Brooklyn Lager White Rascal Weisbeer Somebody's Pumpkin Ale can't remember who Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA (yummy) Mt. Caramel Nut Brown Ale Flying Dog Oktoberfest The Creme Brulee - forget who made it - absolutely delicious By the way I tried something new this morning. Quail eggs. I guess they are real trendy right now. i stopped at my fave gourmet grocery, Dorothy Lane Market, on the way home from Detroit and they had 18 packs of them, so I bought one. They are richer than chicken eggs, but you have to crack four or so quail eggs for one chicken egg. The funny thing about them is they have a much tougher inner membrane than chicken eggs, which makes it tough to get the innards out. You have to crack the a little, then take a serrated knife and slicce the membrane. Then it's all easy. |

Had an aunt who lived a very self-sufficient rural lifestyle. She and her husband raised just about every animal you could find on a small farm, including quail, guinea fowl, chickens, ducks, geese and the occasional peacock. She made a killer cornbread dressing with quail and quail eggs. |

Sounds great. I personally love quail, and am enjoying being able to get it in restaurants in Texas. Delicious meat, even if you have to work for it a bit. |

We put caviar on quail eggs. <-Have only had caviar 3 or 4 times in my life btw.I agree about the membrane being tougher than chicken eggs. The shell itself seems proportionally thicker too. |

Too late. I ate the last of them this morning. I like to toast and dice up good quality bread, then mix in a little olive oil and parmesan, then plop a couple poached eggs on top. Kind of like eggs and toast in one dish. So today I did one organic free range chicken egg and a half dozen quail eggs. I could tell which was which in the bites I took. Interesting. |

It really is, and a good start to a biking day. Carbs and protein both. You can throw veggies in if you want too, and it's just as good. Skips the butter in favor of olive oil. |

Fairly typical to top caviar/fish eggs/fish row with quail eggs, raw. Many sushi shops do that if you ask. My favorite is to top sea urchin with quail egg, all raw. |

I trust that to keep things authentic you didn't serve your brats in buns. ![]() Glad you did this - I've often thought of doing something similar to this - I might have to pick your brain sometime. BTW: That Dogfish IPA is wonderful. |
