What did I cook this weekend.....

[AzOr]

Hatch chiles showed up at my local grocery store, so I bought a box (25lbs). Roasted and peeled in about three hours. Three very relaxing hours. Once frozen and vac packed, should last me til next August. View attachment 881789View attachment 881790View attachment 881791

Temperature finally dropping a bit here in the South. Actually saw some nighttime temperatures in the upper 60°’s!
Decided that it was just marginally acceptable to fix a pot of chili, especially since I have fresh tomatoes in the garden, and a bunch of wood from a tree I just took down. Upped the Carolina Reaper sauce in this one and it was fantastic! The wife said it was better than sex. I am still trying to figure out whether I have been complimented or insulted.

Going Cajun-y tonight. Twice baked potato with crawfish, lots of Tony's seasoning, sour cream, green onions and smoked Gouda with a wheat ale brewed down in Broussard, LA. All very tasty!

Yesterday I made an easy seafood boil with corn and potatoes, all frozen stuff accept for the tail and claws I killed for.
Tonight pulled pork sammy on a Lidl pretzel roll with broccoli slaw.

I made pulled pork for tacos yesterday. Today, I made a pulled pork pizza. Tomorrow, I was gonna make pulled pork sandwiches, but my neighbor brought over a rainbow trout that wouldn't go back into the water, so I'm gonna cook that.

Grew the beans and tomatoes, did not grow the cow

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Magical cow apparently lovely color too.

[day_trippr]

Went over to youngest son's place for a pool day and cookout, split a half dozen game hens and gave half one rub and the rest another and grilled them crispy while my DIL whipped up some mac salad with home grown cherry tomatoes and my wife boiled up some corn picked this morning at a local farm. Simple food, really good eats...

Cheers!

That looks wonderful!

Spatchcock chicken tonight on the smoker

Haven’t made these recipes yet but the grilled pineapple coleslaw is making me drool. I’m imagining a pulled pork sandwich topped with it.

I watched that episode too and thought the same thing about the pineapple coleslaw. I agree, I could definitely see it on a pulled pork sandwich. And maybe a slightly drier version used on fish tacos.
So much you could do with that. I’m definitely going to try making it at some point.

Porterhouse for 2, chef gets the bone! Parmigiana potatoes and green beans for sides.

 

[Temptd2]

The bone is the best part and why I don't mind attending the grill when cooking a bone-in steak!

 

[AzOr]

Spent some time in the woods today and found a few nice clusters of lobster mushrooms.

 

[Temptd2]

Oh how beautiful! That's one kind I haven't gotten to try yet. No mushrooms here in the desert....None I've seen anyway!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Rice and beans and beef tacos, well there were two on the plate before I stopped to snap a picture.

 

[Temptd2]

That looks great, Merry!

I panfried/butter-basted two lovely Chilean sea bass filets last night and had some sauteed carrots in butter alongside but forgot to take a picture. Happens when I set a plate of food down on the table - instantly every other thought goes elsewhere!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Chili all dressed up and sourdough 20% whole wheat.

Wish I didn't have to drive hours to find these...needless to say, haven't found one of these yet.

Looks tasty! We had the same on Saturday. I had canned some tomatoes the week prior and had 2 jars that didnt seal. So I thought I'd use them to make a batch of Chili. Made a loaf of sourdough to enjoy with it as well(Only 10% wheat for me).

This was the first year for targeting them and it paid off. Usually I see the rotten moldy lobsters when I’m looking for fall chanterelles.
They taste great and have a very good texture.

I couldn’t figure out what to do for a late dinner, so I decided breakfast. I make a pretty good fried egg sandwich. We have this sourdough bread that is pretty small so I made two small ones. Egg, sausage patty, Munster cheese, Valentina hot sauce, all grilled in butter and the sausage drippings. And bourbon. Breakfast and bourbon at 9 pm. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm a huge brinner fan. I keep lobbying for brinner and it drives the Spousal Unit batpoopy

 

[Brockness Monster]

We have Brinner fridays in my house. Actually it has turned into BBB friday. Beverages (of the adult variety), Brinner, and Bonfire (for nice evenings) or Bad movies (for poor/too hot weather) (most recent was "The Dead Don't Die", so bad it's good).

Today is simple pancakes with peanut butter and bananas. Bevvie will probably be Screwdrivers, beermosas, or mimosas. Last week was breakfast burritos and margaritas.

 

[Temptd2]

Bourbon = Better Breakfast!

I made a shrimp, lobster mushroom pasta over the weekend. The black specks are lava sea salt that was gifted to me.
I mean, it's shrimp, butter and pasta. It's pretty hard to screw up a dish with those ingredients.
