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!

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.

Hmm, I think I will have one! :cheers:

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. :whome: <-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.

We put caviar on quail eggs.
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.
