Monday Night Promotion Celebration DinnerBox: Two beer-braised Brats over buttered Spinach. Bacon Mashed Potatoes, Eggplant Gratin, Asparagus spears, whole-wheat Spatzle & IKEA Swedish Meatballs.
About a month ago, my Dad flew over to Chicago to visit me and with him was an insulted cooler containing four 16oz. New York Strips, four hunks of hamburger and four thick brats. David and I have eaten through it all, except for the brats. And upon hearing that he received a promotion that day, I decided to cook ‘em up, my version of a German meal using what we had in the fridge. He came home, gooey and drunk off his excitement, gushing about how he was craving a brat. Perfect.
