What did I cook this weekend.....

[BUCKNUTS]

Huevos divorciados (divorced eggs)
My mouth is burning a bit and there is a bit of sweat under my eyes. My whole mood just improved 100% Mexican breakfasts have that effect on me.

Dinner last night...corn on the cob, green beans, Hillshire Farms Polish Keibasabaked on top of Boar's Head Kraut with juniper berries, a little hb beer and a drizzle of crab apple juice. Mitt senf.

I'm so hungry now.

 

[JonM]

Grilled some thick pork chops and sliced kohlrabi. The kohlrabi got a little crispy, but the chops were perfect.

I'm so hungry now.

I get that way every time I check out this thread...

 

[unionrdr]

You & me both. Darn you guys anyway. Add the sausage to the huevos...

 

[flars]

Just finished supper. Well worth a little bit of extra time and three Amber Ales.

Grilled chicken leg quarters with a hint of hickory smoke, potatoes au gratin with mozzarella, provolone and mild cheddar cheese, and corn on the cob.

Just home from work.

A slice of cold pizza from the fridge with a gin and tonic is improving my outlook on life a lot.

Not for nuttin' but it's mostly the gin and tonic that's responsible.

Think I might change out of my scrubs and walk up the street to the Portagee festival at the church. Fava beans, stewed octopus and some chorizo grilled over a fire washed down with several glasses of Madeira will have me right as rain in an hour.

Note to self... Bring earplugs. I can hear the wailing of the fado singers from here. I'm not going to get nearly drunk enough to make that sound like anything other than feral cats doing the wild thing that it typically sounds like.

 

[bob1852]

Just think, PTN, someday you'll be able to have hot pizza. Nah, probably not.

 

[paulthenurse]

GFY!

I f'ing LOVE the Portagee festivals. I live a five minute walk from Lisbon. Tonight I had Fava beans that had that certain je ne sais quoi reminiscent of the north end of a particularly dyspeptic southbound mule. And the octopus was redolent of the effluent from the Deer Island treatment plant. F 'ing Fan-tas-tic!

Only bad part was the thunderstorm blowing through an hour before I got there put out the fires. No linguica, no chouica, no carne espirito! Sometimes you're the dog, sometimes you're the hydrant .

That's a great picture. What is it? Besides an underexposed horrible pic.

 

[paulthenurse]

It sure is a pretty bad pic, my bad

 

[Hanglow]

Had some dough lying around the fridge since last weekend so made a focaccia type pizza for last nights dinner. My oven can't really go very hot so these bready types of bases tend to come out a bit better

I usually prefer thin base pizzas but this was tasty enough
smoked sausage, smoked chorizo, peppers, jals, moz and tomato base

[mcbaumannerb]

Realized I was out of BBQ sauce so I've got a half gallon simmering now. Good timing since I get to smell it whilst watching football.

 

[Melana]

Another spatchcock chicken and sausages

 

[ChefRex]

Started cleaning out the garden so a big pot of chili and kaiser rolls to go along.

 

[Hanglow]

That is a lot of beans

I used quite a lot in the last chilli I made, I think I like it that way

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Made some baked ziti for dinner. Good answer to all the beer I had watching football today.

 

[W0GWT]

Salad with home grown mustard greens, Mac and cheese (per 4-year old's request), and St. Louis style pork steaks.
Not my finest work, but still decent.
Drinking my raspberry melomel (made in January), the first bottle of which I opened today.

Did you do those up in a smoker? What kind of sausages? It all looks SOOOO TASTY!

I made some breaded and oven baked cauliflower to go with a family meal at the in-law's this weekend...turned out well. Deep fried would have been awesome, but everybody is trying to cut back these days.

 

[troy2000]

Quick and dirty breakfast fajitas....

I was in the mood for something spicy, so I dug through the fridge and came up with almost a pound of skirt steak, a bell pepper, three Mexican green onions, two serrano chiles and some cilantro.

I sliced the meat into strips, cut up everything else, and stirred it all together with the juice from a lime. I also added some Pappy's Choice Seasoning and a little sea salt.

After letting it set for an hour, I turned a burner on the gas stove up to 'blast furnace' setting, added pats of butter to the cast iron pan and let it start sizzling, dumped everything in and stir-fried it in its own juices. Surprisingly, the meat stayed tender.

Served on corn tortillas heated directly over a burner flame - with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and more cilantro of course. The wife wasn't thrilled by the serrano peppers and doesn't eat much breakfast anyway, so I pigged out. It could've used another bell pepper or two, but it was downright tasty anyway for an off-the-cuff meal.

We did it a little different yesterday. Instead of the usual chili dogs, I put salsa on the hot dogs, white corn chips in the middle of that topped with Texas style chili with beef & pork, then topped that & the dogs with taco cheese. Good stuff with a dampfbier.

Hmmm...what's the phrase? "Pictures or it didn't happen." Yeah, that's it! This is a food porn thread, man! Don't tease us with your talk of wieners and not give us something to look at!

Birthday carrot cake for my older daughter...had to frost it warm, so didn't look the best, but it was good!

 

[unionrdr]

It was late & I didn't think of pics, darn it. I hate it when that happens. Next time. No beans in the chili & it tasted a lot like the Shelby chili fixin's.

I cook them indirect on a charcoal/wood grill. acts like a smokey oven.
The sausages were italian and cooked on the smoker the day before then reheated on the grill.

 

[Homercidal]

Got some smoked ham slices from the hog we bought. Gonna cut it up to put in corn chowder. Also a smoked hock I plan to put in some split pea soup. Been busy for doing anything fancy, and frankly I am not sure I have time to cook those soups anytime soon, but we'll try.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

This past weekend I started with a full pound of thick cut, peppered bacon, just cut the slab of slices in half. Fried that up & drained. Then used some of the bacon grease to cook up 2 bunches of swiss chard, baby carrots, 1/2 a large vidalia onion, a couple cloves of garlic, some yellow summer squash, about a tablespoon of dried sweet basil & pine nuts. I added the cooked & drained bacon back to the veggies after the veggies were done & served it up as 1 big pile on a plate. I intended to add some crimini mushrooms, but forgot all about them till it was too late. I also intended to add a handful of craisins, but I was out of them. I was hungry, so I didn't get a pic of the plated food, but here's a shot just before it cam out of the pan. I thought it was pretty tasty.
Regards, GF.

Got home late and decided to make some of that soup to take to the daughter this weekend. Got the onions sweating in the pan and cutting up the ham and slicing the corn and my wife asks where the potatoes are...

Uh, they should be right where they always are...

You mean you didn't check to see that we had potatoes??

I thought you just bought a bag!

I made them for you guys when Kipp came down to brew with you!

Oh yeah...


So I added the stock and corn and ham and bacon and put it in the fridge. Will add the potatoes and cream tonight.
