this 'n that

Made some of Doug's smoked mushroom dip recently.
found in the appetizer section of the forum.
Smoked for 90 minutes with maple and apple.

Good stuff as always!

Sunday I went to a French Fete.

I was anxious to try their special recipe French sausage, but wanted to grill them myself so I bought fresh.
Here's some being grilled at the Fete:

Sunday night I grilled one along with a piece of pork loin.

Darn good, spicy but not spicy hot.
The only "plated" shot.

Happy autumn everyone!

Looks interesting like the period dress. Sausage looks good too.

Sausage looks good. Love the dip. I'm not sure what's going on at that event. People are in period dress but only kind of half-assed, modern tennis shoes, etc.

Nice Bob, sausage looks tasty. Reminded me of my Rendezvous days. Ah the smell of black powder in the morning!

I'm kind of assuming that at her age, and stirring apple butter all day, she needed some form of comfort.
My old dogs can relate.
Not a full blown reenactment by any means.

Sorry, some old reenactor snobbery crept back.

Hard to call that "half-assed"....
my mother-in-law volunteered with the folks at Old World Wisconsin, where she too, dressed in the threads from the period complete with shoes.... however, they were given the option to wear their shoes if they felt it was needed. Darcy, at the time, was probably 65 or 70 (she's now 91 and still very active) and opted to wear her own after one day of wearing the original leathers.


By the way, Great Post, Mr. Correll!!

I'll take some of This and plenty of That. Looks like a fun day Bob. Thanks for sharing.

Bob, thanks for the reminder that I keep meaning to make that smoked mushroom dip!!

Also, what was in that giant cauldron?? Looks like you could fit a small family in that thing!

Looks like a fun excursion. Food must have been really great also.

 

[Barb D]

Bob, that sausage is awesome and it all looks like fun. Love the area beautiful for sure.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

I love sausage, pork, beef, fowl, marine proteins, most things outdoors, fresh air scented with coking anything, good fungus, beer, wine, spirits.....
I like more than I usually admit to!
Have a lovely day!

Wow! way to go Bob! I wish I could have been there, as a professional Frenchman I'm sure I would have fitted right in! That sausage sure looks tasty, is it a Toulouse sausage by any change? These are the best, really powerful taste with garlic in it! Sadly I struggle to find good quality Toulouse sausage in London but if and when I find some I'll cook a cassoulet on the kettle in a skillet and will share with y'all.

Cheers,
Jules
