Tailgating Sausage fest at California Speedway

[Uncle-Honky]

My son and I headed out to the track for some good times, tailgating and racing, with Kelly and company. What a day it was with good friends, good sausages and of course good brew. Temps out side I don't think ever topped 80* A few shots of the days treats and such! I'm not sure if this is where this thread should be. Pleases move it to a better location if needed.

Kelly brought some home made brats. Fantastic sausages!

Some smokey beans

Here are just a few of the items, we had to enjoy! Front are Kellys great brats. inside out fajitas...awesome stuff! and in the rear are some jerk chicken sausages. Contents oozed out the ends of mine. Anybody has a solution to this, I would appreciate it greatly. Look funny but taste dang good.

Kelly and myself flying the friendly forum flag!

great pics - and how on earth did you get kelly in front of a camera ? lol
I was beginning to think she was just a set of sentient coloured nails attached to a prosthetic arm ;-)

Love the 88 pic - guess that one's for mike & louie :-)

Sausage coming out the ends. new one on me.
Maybe not enough twisting between the links, maybe grilling on too high a heat, tad too much liquid in the sausage, could be any or all.
I twist as I stuff and leave overnight and then cut in the centre of the twist which binds with itself and sets overnight.
And oats of course - give you better set and moisture retention.

What actually counts is what they taste like :-)
