Am I allowed to just post beer(...s) for Oktoberfest?

It doesn't have to be super detailed, difficult or super on topic - be creative, the point is to just get you trying out some new things! Your mind is your limit, I'll never yell at anyone for being off-theme. (Also, drinks, desserts, barely food related items are all acceptable... just try something new).
Isn't that the main point of Oktoberfest?!Am I allowed to just post beer(...s) for Oktoberfest?
You missed Oktoberfest weekAm I allowed to just post beer(...s) for Oktoberfest?
It's only a week? I thought October was a monthYou missed Oktoberfest week
Oh heck yeah. Did you see what this week’s challenge is???You missed Oktoberfest week
YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSOh heck yeah. Did you see what this week’s challenge is???
SALT.
SKI THIS IS OUR WEEK.
It is for the Reddit food week challengesIt's only a week? I thought October was a month
The recipe name made me laugh, so thank you.View attachment 224373
Salty Balls and Thighs:
Heat peanut oil in skillet.
Cut chicken thighs into bite-size pieces and toss with pink Himalayan SALT.
Saute chicken thighs until browned.
Cut fresh brussels sprouts into quarters.
Add brussels sprouts to skillet and cook until just green.
(usually I leave them raw, but decided I wanted a little less crunch.)
That sounds like a really polite way of saying I eat some weird stuff.The recipe name made me laugh, so thank you.
No no, you just name your dishes funny thingsThat sounds like a really polite way of saying I eat some weird stuff.
I bought 3 pounds of fresh brussels sprouts earlier this week, and I've been in heaven.
I was going to make Sweaty Salty Balls and Thighs tonight (add garlic and cumin), but I accidentally grabbed the curry instead of cumin. So now it's Curried Salty Balls and Thighs, which doesn't quiet have the same ring to it but is still very tasty.No no, you just name your dishes funny things
Ooooo I made tacosApparently this week's theme according to Reddit is Handheld Foods
Ha, I even said "I bet Ski would agree with me!"But grilled cheese is delicious. @SkiOtter will agree.
I think overmixing and overbaking are two of the top reasons why muffins get sad. Overmixing usually makes them more dense and not light and floofy though versus too dry, but overbaking definitely can lead to some sad, dry muffins. I always bake things for a little less than the recipe time and start checking them with a toothpickMade avocado banana chocolate chip muffins. They're okay. What I've learned is that I suck at making muffins. Followed the instructions but they're a little on the dry side. Not sure if it's cause I overmixed,under mixed (I don't have a blender so had to handmash the avocado), overbaked or if they just need more honey. They're edible though.
I have the insides for handheld pot pies (I'm blanking on the cute British term) alll done as of last night. Refrigerating and baking tonight, aren't y'all proud of me actually doing my own challenges?
Literally exact sameI had a tuna fish sandwich. That means hubby made dinner. I would have made tuna melts. (Love cheese!)

Yes! that lol.Do you mean pasties, like Cornish pasties? I love making those
Usually you just mix until the big clumps are gone, little ones are okay.But how are you supposed to mix in all the flour without overmixing??? And i definitely should just start setting the timer for earlier. I've been burned before by that one and should know better.
i would think so! pumpkin's a squash anyway so close enoughThis week is pumpkin. I have two adorable little acorn squashes staring at me from my produce box and I think those will count, right?
Wut? Not sure how I feel about the sounds of that.Mmm I should make pumpkin ziti.
Have you never had pumpkin in savory stuff? It's basically like a tomato based ziti, but instead of a tomato sauce mixed with the ricotta, it's a pumpkin base seasoned with garlic, sage, thyme and some other spices. It's super good!Wut? Not sure how I feel about the sounds of that.
Ok, I can see that. My first thought was that it was a pumpkin and tomato sauce and that sounded weird. I have a squash/leek lasagna recipe that is pretty good, and I could see them being similar.Have you never had pumpkin in savory stuff?
