Here's the meal:
Ta-Da! Big surprise. I grilled brats.* They would have been beer brats, but Rob and I are on the wagon and I didn't want to have a 6-pack sitting around for the rest of the month. Instead, a parboiled them in beef broth, which was both surprisingly good and useful. The leftover broth showed up in chili later in the week.
Apparently, Minnesota is known for their wild rice? At least, that's what it says on Wikipedia, so I found a wild rice salad from Martha Stewart. It's awesome! I'm going to keep this one in the rotation. Of course, I had to make a couple of changes but nothing major. Switched out currants and substituted some very old raisins, plus I used lime juice instead of lemon because that's all I had on hand. Other than that - this recipe is really easy, really yummy, and it makes a ton, so I had it for lunch for a couple of days.
I almost forgot - the broccoli is just steamed with melted Merkt's cheese on it. That, too, may be done. It's not lucky.
*I may never grill brats again. I think the Packers lose every time I do.
