Which reminds me.... I need to touch base with them before Christmas about making sure they WILL accomadate us in January before and after clues come out.... as we know Rockin Lobster bit!!!
About the same time as I do that someone should be checking for predig reservations at McGoverns so we dont have to deal with their cranky butts come January...if thats still the home base for predig?
For the other nights I can always request the Capitol Room at MattyB's or just meet in the front "wine room" is what they call it at the window.... or Great Waters is still in the running I think. I happen to like the Liffy now but it can't hold everyone, thats just another good meeting place to keep in mind.
Hello Viking Fans!

Matty B's Urban Bar & Restaurant is located at 501 Washington Avenue in Minneapolis.
Were you at Oktoberfest? My youngest daughter and a couple of her her friends were celebrating their birthdays together so we missed it this year. Too bad they were both the same night. One of the birthday girls was a Peta, so some of them came to the party too.
They had the party at the Grand 7 on 7th. I'd never been there before. They closed the place for the private party, but the 2000 Vulcans showed up, ate their food and drank their beer and left. :chagrin:
Anyone need a 2000 I Had A Drink With Klink button? :eyeroll:
That's very reasonable. I only need about a 4 lb. roast. Trying out a new recipe. Beef brisket braised with dried fruit, yams and carrots, cooked in a dutch oven. :pbpt:
Thanks for the information. My four pound roast could have ended up really small you're saying. I didn't know that.
Seeing that it's a new recipe, I didn't want to go crazy or anything.
I meant to tell you a while back, I was sitting on the daughter's front step a month or more ago and saw smoke coming from up your way. I figured you were probably doing one of your bbq's.
if anyone has a full set of dishes or nice blankets they want to get rid of/donate... I know someone who is unfortunate to not be able to afford to purchase their own and I'm looking for a way to help. I may just go out to JC Penny and buy a set but I thought if anyone was gonna be upgrading theirs soon and had a decent set...
full set being ie: 8 dinner plates, 8 small plates, maybe cups and saucers to match
thanks much in advance for dishes/blankets or ideas
Pioneer Sausage is no more. They had the best Swedish Sausage anywhere. They closed several years ago.
Capital City Meats is a great place for meat and very reasonable.
Anyone remember Twin Cities Today with Steve Edelman and Sharon Anderson? The owner/head butcher at Capital City Meats used to be a regular on that show.
Vino, I don't think we ever had those pepperoni sticks. We tended to get Swedish Sausage and Blood Sausage from Pioneer Sausage. I wish they were still there - or at least have given their recipes to someone else.
My Step Dad loved the sausages! They were a staple on the BBQ ever summer.
I've always been a slim jim & beef jerkey nut, and these were like that, but better. way way way better. Gosh I loved them. My step dad would buy 3 or so pounds at a time, and they would have to dole them out to me, cause I wouldn't stop eatting them.
sniff* sniff... I've never been able to eat a slim jim or other sausage stick, without remembering those things.
Don't remember that, but I remember Good Company... Used to have to watch it with my mom in the summer. I wanted to marry Sharon, but was afraid we may have been related. Steve got on my nerves.
Weren't Steve and Sharon from Stillwater? Or Marine on the St Croix? We used to see them on the river in their boat all the time when we were staying in Marine On The St Croix.
If you want to drive a ways, Louie's in Cumberland is good too. We ususally stop on our way up north, unless it's a holiday weekend when the line winds out the door. :chagrin:

for everything else though ...

Capitol City Meats...
its just north of University on Rice...about half a block..
normally its angus...and is the best I've found in the cities...cheepest 2.
seriously no other place to buy brisket IMHO.
but if you get a case 1.99lb. (about 50lbs in a case)
but that was in april.
I let them have a piece of my mind....
ok..as for a small one...will be about 8lbs...
see if you can get lucky and ask them to trim it...maybe he will..
but for a 4lb roast you really want to trim it down...you could cut off 3 lbs of fat easy.
Seeing that it's a new recipe, I didn't want to go crazy or anything.
I meant to tell you a while back, I was sitting on the daughter's front step a month or more ago and saw smoke coming from up your way. I figured you were probably doing one of your bbq's.
I've been able to smell it 2 or 3 blocks away.
They used to have the yummiest pepperoni sticks when I was a kid.
More babies are born in September than any other month of the year!

Does anyone have a favorite recipe they would like to share?

but as far as meat guys go...he's got the feel of the "brady bunch" era...he's nice and makes sure you are happy b4 you leave.
rip off!!!!
I should have known you would! Is his picture still up on the marquee in from of the store?
I LOVED the little pepperoni sticks. mmmm I miss those.

Last show I saw her on was some antique thingy... and he produced some other show that I may have watched...
A little late in the convo but I thought Matty B's was in St. Paul. 2 of them?
