The following is a blue ribbon recipe from the most recent Wisconsin State Fair that I want to try this week:

Susan Nekich of Milwaukee took a first in the Ahh Asparagus category in the State Fair's culinary competition with this strata, which also features ham.

Asparagus Cheese Strata

Makes 8 to 10 servings

1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 loaf (1 pound) sliced bread, crusts removed

3 tablespoons melted butter

4 slices deli-sliced ham

¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

6 eggs

3 cups milk

2 teaspoons dry minced onion

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon dry mustard

Cook asparagus until just tender but still firm. Plunge in ice water to stop the cooking process.

Brush bread slices on one side with melted butter and arrange half in bottom of lightly buttered 13-by-9-inch pan, buttered side up. Layer on the asparagus and ham. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

In bowl, beat eggs with milk, onion, salt and mustard. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Bake in preheated 325-degree oven about 40 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and return to oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Our Tradition....

Riverbend Labor Day Prime Rib

20 lbs prime rib - bone on
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder
Hickory wood chips

Put charcoal in Wever grill. When hot, add wood chips. Coat the prime rib well with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Place roast directly on grill.

Make sure grill temp is 250 degrees once the cover is on.

Cook roast to a 150 degree internal temp - about 3 - 4 hours.

Take off grill and tent with foil - 30 minutes.

Cut bones off roast (you can leave them on if you wish.)

Slice and serve (warning - there will be a lot of juice). The roast will be rare in the middle to well done on the ends. Everyone gets their choice of smokey doneness.

Enjoy!

National Steak au Poivre Day

I guarantee I have never seen, let alone shot or butchered, a poivre.

Think I'll call Game, Fish, & Parks on Tuesday to see about getting tags....
