Dash of Grace: Pass the nachos on game day

If you’re not cooking, you should be; it is so much fun to try new things in the kitchen. Sometimes they are giant flops, but occasionally we get a real winner like this week’s beer and brats nachos. What could be more perfect for watching all the big holiday-time football games with family and friends?

When we were making these nachos for the column, they looked and smelled out of this world. A few friends and family members have learned when the cooking is going on and sometimes they stop by to help us out with the tasting. We call them our “live studio audience.” On this day, the “tasters” would take a little of the food on a plastic fork and start to move on, tossing their forks into the trash. Then, they would stop in their tracks and fill up another plastic fork. Then, they would come back for another bite. Some just gave up and sat down at the table with a plate. 

So, here are the brats and beer nachos. Let me know if you like them as much as everyone around here did.

Why the need for middleman?

The other day, we ran a story about the Dixon Tourism Board's website, which is hard to navigate and missing key information, particularly about the Petunia Festival. Are we wasting our time examining local tourism websites?
