I love the original Pickapeppa sauce and use it in both steak and chicken marinades. I recently got a bottle of the Pickapeppa hot mango sauce used it in a chicken soak and it too was fantastic!

Pickapeppa Mango is great. I eat it on nacho chips. Easy to go through a bottle in a sitting. BTW, I made a clone (somewhat) here.

Tomatilla Salsa

This batch had a little of everything. Besides what's in the pic, I also tossed in a bunch of sweet red & yellow peppers.

The lime zest and juice really makes this salsa a treat. Tomatillas already have a limey tomato-y flavor. Get some sweet Vidalia onion in there and some jalapeno to add the kick and you'll be dipping till it's gone.

The other week I made pork chops, mashed potatoes, and green sauce

SWMBO: Why don’t you just have the green sauce, I don’t think I want that.
Me: Ok, I did put a little bit on your plate in case you change your mind since we don’t have apple sauce.
SWMBO: The green sauce made the whole meal! I loved it!

Woman! Y U NO TRUST HUSBAND?!

Green sauce sounds good! Did you pick up the book? I've looked at it but haven't pulled the trigger.
 
I smoked up some meatball and sausage on my Kamado Joe Classic then simmered in a marinara sauce, came out great

I just got back today from camping for two nights in Olympic National Park. I discovered a very tasty meal very easy meal to whip together quickly. Fry up some onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Add in a kielbasa cut into chunks and a package of ready rice with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Nothing fancy but very easy and delicious. I made this on the tailgate of the Toyota and this was my view while eating more or less:

Yeah. It's not too bad, all things considered. I don't live in TX at least!

I'll probably cut the rest of that stand of boxelder down to prevent future damage. I think they may be tall enough to hit the house, and they are definitely tall enough to damage the other trees.

But I kind of like the privacy they provide...

Look out when you cut the last box elder if you have box elder bugs on the trees. Cut the last tree and they will find the house next. Don't ask how I know this.
 
Rained like crazy yet another afternoon yesterday, so i made burgers on the stove with Grill Mates Chipotle & roasted garlic seasoning. Fried 18 strips of bacon in my blackened cast iron pan to put on top of the burgers with pepper jack cheese on top of that. Took some canned beans with brown sugar & all that stuff & cooked them in the bacon bits & drippin' to go with. Add some onions with ketchup & sriracha &...:mug:
 
Nothing spectacular today, but I have some butternut squash roasting in the oven now, gonna puree later, to go along with a simple beer can chicken from the oven. Rubbed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mixed the liquid inside with half Dr. Pepper and half a pale ale I made. Perfect for an easy going Sunday.

Testing my new homemade grill out for the first time. It still needs some revisions, but does the job. I had to get it working because we are having non-stop high winds during the next few weeks according to the weather man. My gas grill does not like wind.

So, I broke her in with some ribs.

Jackfruit. Okay, now what? (And not mead, 'cause I don't want to invest $40 in an experiment.)

Chicken Saltimbocca, pasta with a quick sundried tomato sauce, from the garden last year mind you[emoji39], spaghetti squash and some leftover marinated asparagus.
Stuffed but want to eat more, must resist! View attachment 281670

Do you make your own sun-dried tomatoes? I have seen people in the villages in Greece making them by laying tomato slices on wire screens. I think it needs hot days with a strong wind.
