Bratwurst!

I found Bratwurst at the Morrison's near uni. Was about $3 for a package of four, fresh not frozen...imported from Germany. Tonight, I'm going to cook brats in beer and onions. Quite excited:) For anyone who would like to know how to make this, it's very easy. Saute the onions in butter until clear, then add brats and brown, next add a bottle of beer (dark is better) and simmer for about 20-30 minutes. You can then take out the brats and onions, put it in a warm oven while further reducing the beer for a sauce. Either serve in buns/baps or plain. Good with dijon or hot dog mustard.

Went to a classmate's flat last night for dinner. One of our other classmates cooked for us....pasta with a white sauce and smoked salmon. First, he cooked the salmon in a pan wth creme fresh (similar to sour cream) and grated parmesan. This was added to the cooked pasta. Simple and yum.

Uh-oh:( Man, I am coming 4,000 miles home, for the first time in what 7 months, and you want me to cook for you?! Sheesh. Ok, ok, I'll make a meal or two if you make a cheesecake!

Fascinating? Hey, I'm sure it is the combo of the new fridge and being over the cold;) Btw, the kitchen smells great for once. The brats were awesome.
