Today's word on journalism

August 27, 2008

On protests at political conventions:

"The citizens of Denver and St. Paul, and Americans everywhere, should hope officials in those cities already have considered both the constitutional and monetary costs of silencing voices that have a right to be heard. . . . Well-expressed or wacky. Irritating or illuminating. Respectful or raucous. There's nothing in the 45 words of the First Amendment that sets out any such qualifications or limits on protests. Time and again in our history, from women's suffrage to civil rights to tax protests, to name just some, voices first raised in the streets -- to the disgust or disappointment of some -- have led to significant, positive changes in law and American life."

--Gene Policinski, executive director, First Amendment Center, 2008

Simple Kitchen: Grill up for summer

By Errin Stevenson

June 10, 2008 | Grilling is my favorite way to cook meat in the summer! It is quick, yummy and really easy to clean up. It also adds the nice, fired flavor to your meats and you can cook your meat to perfection.

Bratwursts are my husband's favorite meat on the grill. Although they are not the healthiest choice, they sure are tasty. After many experiments using recipes from the Wisconsin beer brat to the smoked bratwurst, my husband thinks he has found the best recipe. The recipes special ingredient is apple beer.

Series Bowl Finals Bratwursts

48 oz. of canned of apple beer
1 lg. yellow onion, sliced
3 T. brown sugar
1 apple, chopped thick
6 (1 pkg.) uncooked large Johnsonville or Nathan's bratwursts
6 hoagie buns

In a large kettle or pot, combine apple beer, onion, brown sugar and bratwursts. Let soak for 12 hours. Once 12 hours has passed, simmer on low heat until steamy. Once there is steam, remove from heat. Be careful not to overheat which causes bratwurst casing to burst. After removing from heat, remove bratwursts. Then remove onion and put in a small skillet. Cook over medium heat until medium brown. These onions will be sweet and perfect on your bratwurst.

Cook bratwursts on grill at medium heat, approximately 10-15 minutes. Be sure not to burst casing.

Once cooked, remove from grill and put on hoagie bun. Add brown mustard, ketchup, apple onions and bread n' butter chips (pickles).

These are great for all of the big sporting events; hence that is why my husband named them the Series Bowl Finals Bratwursts!

You can serve them with veggies and it is a full meal! These will fill you and your guest.

Enjoy!
