Memorial Day: Brats the Wisconsin Way

Memorial Day:  Brats the Wisconsin Way

Ah, bratwurst.  There is no state in the country where the brat is more beloved than Wisconsin.  

There are brat feeds throughout the state on any given weekend in the summer months.  Non-profit groups know their community members are more than willing to buy a brat for a good cause.  I've participated in more than a few of those fundraisers through the years.  They always seem to draw a crowd.

Grills all over the state will be filled with brats this weekend for Memorial Day picnics and graduations, too. Wisconsin residents take great pride in knowing how to make the famous beer brat.  

Here's my version.  Let's get grilling!

Happy Saturday!

It's a beautiful day!  I promised myself I would take a day off from blogging today, but as any blogger knows it's very difficult to break away.  It can be all-consuming at times.

Instead of a "no blogging" day, I decided I would just try to achieve the ever-elusive balance I'd like to achieve.  So, here I am doing a little maintenance and updating after all and later I'll be taking a break to enjoy the gorgeous weather and my hubby's birthday!

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
