Autumn is here!

The Good Wife cut up a red and green pepper, an onion, and seasoned it up with a bit of olive oil and some spice-type goodies...we tossed a basketful on the grill with some brats and toasted some Brioche buns at the end of it; with a glass of good beer it made for a fine First Day of Fall supper...

I would have responded sooner, but I slobbered all over my keyboard looking at your photo! Gosh, I love grilled brats and peppers. It reminds me of the Virginia State Fair, always held in September. Unfortunately, the peppers don't like me.

Phil, if you would have used brats, peppers and onions I think that mink would have gladly sacrificed himself for your Winchester .22 LR desires!!

[Harold Pickens]

Yuengling, would be my choice as well

Phil, your post inspired me, so this evening I made essentially the same dinner! I added some country style green beans, and a tiny redskin potato and onion medley. Everything except the beans (all afternoon in the crockpot) was done on my Weber charcoal grill. And all washed down with a couple Founder’s All Day IPA!

Thanks for the idea!

Sounds scrumptious Dave! Tonight it was a couple filets gilled medium rare, baked sweet potatoes, and mushrooms sauteed in garlic and butter to top.

PS: I know it wasn't really the first day of fall, but September is always fall to me, no matter what the calendar says !

Meteorological Fall begins with September. Astronomical Fall begins September 22, so Phil, you are right on time. Heck, Fall is really a feeling in the air. Even when it’s in the 90s in September, my heart knows it’s Fall.

I'm with you Phil. Our leaves are already turning up here so in my opinion, Fall is here. In one month we'll be sitting in trees.

From one baked sweet potato lover to another, you owe it to yourself to find some Orleans variety 'taters. My buddy in E. Arkansas grows them for the market and I can't wait to get a box full to bring back to Jawja every winter! Orleans are just head and shoulders above the rest.
