Toast Grand Final food and drink preparations. What are you doing?

[WillHayward]

This is why we need a 5pm kick off.

Gives way more opportunities for better food and drink options

Smoked a Brisket to have on rolls. And plenty of snacks and beer to go with it.

having gone through 2021 late starts are painful. much better to start at 2:30, be done at 5 and spend the rest of the night winding down

Frozen puff pastry store bought is as good as anything you are likely to achieve at home. I tried a Maggie Beer “full proof” puff pastry once and eventually had a tantrum and threw the dough at the kitchen wall. Then read the bit in the recipe about store bought pastry of a decent brand in Australia being as good, and more reliable, than made-from-scratch beginner pastry in a non commercial kitchen.

Cheers Maggie! I don’t know why I bother…

Maggie Beer is a campaigner

Maggie Beer is a campaigner

I’ve done my best by her, but you may have something here

She advertised diet pills that my dad lost $600 on. She claimed it was a scam.

Winding down after 5. Ok

Also try living in Perth and starting at 12.30.

Shit house .

Also I call.bullshit. are you telling me you haven't watched any of the finals that started at 7.40?

Apparently you are in best by 7.

I call BS.

You're against change..which is totally cool and I respect and admire.

Just own it rather than inventing lies.

I am very happy for 12:30 bit of exercise in the morning light breakfast and then bang its on and I am tucking into some solid meals and watching the game of the year. Game finishes and I have the rest of the day ahead of the weekend ahead of me.

Only people in Perth want a late start, selfish campaigners only thinking of themselves…

Current game time perfect for our gathering, fire up the BBQ for lunch, enjoy some snacks during the game and hopefully some leftovers for dinner before the NRL game.

Im having pizza and booze and then going out to dinner with friends after the game.

That option doesnt really exist with a 5pm start.

Because Id be WAY too hammered by the end of the game.

 

[FFB1]

Will be at the Royal Richmond just after 10. What’s food?

Sad to hear. Madexaxfew of her recipes and they're good stuff, although she seems put some crap called "verjuice" in a lot of things.

This is so true about puff pastry
Don't waste your time making it

It does in a 2.30 game can't imagine what it be like evening

Guess you'd just end up drinking more

It's a safe space m7, good on you for expressing your sexual identity [sips delicious honey and lemon].

How long do you smoke it for?

Was about 6 hours and will reheat in the oven using the fat renderings to keep it moist. I have a drum smoker so always hot & fast at about 275f to 300f and always wrap at the end to speed it up and get through the stall. I did split this one in 2 between the point and the flat but don't think it sped up the cook as 5-6 hours is about usual time.
