I love Oktoberfest beer, so this past Sunday night I decided to cook an authentic German meal to go along with the beer. Mike hasn't had any real German food before (bratwursts don't count), so this was a new cooking experience for me and a new tasting experience for him!

- I used thin cut NY Strip steaks, pounded down to 1/4" thick
- I've had this prepared with dill pickles in the middle (in addition to the onion) so I made one of them with that and it was really good
- The gravy didn't thicken up as much as I thought it would - it was more of a sauce versus a gravy

- After reading the comments for this recipe I went with the ziplock bag method. I poured the batter into a ziplock bag, cut off the tip and used that to drop portions of batter into the boiling water.
- The batter looked a little too liquidy for me so I added two additional tablespoons of flour.

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Recipe
1 lb. Brussels sprouts, steamed
3 slices bacon
2 Tbsp butter
Salt & pepper
Once sprouts have been cooked, add butter and stir until melted. Add crumbled bacon, plus salt and pepper to taste.

- I read a tip online about steaming Brussels sprouts - after you cut the ends off, make an X in the stem with a paring knife. I steamed mine for about 6 minutes and they were perfect.
