What did I cook this weekend.....

[DrunkleJon]

Jealous?
Smoked it for 20 hours. It is amazingly tender and delicious. Now where did I hide the vinegar based bbq sauce?

It was a beautiful Spring day here in N AL so SWMBO and I worked outside today after we ran errands this AM. We found some great looking Ribeyes while out and about and a cpl Wild from Canada Lobster Tails for supper. SWMBO and I shared the steak and potato and it was plenty!

So... we oiled and salted a baked potato and started it indirect. I like bacon bits on my potato so we fried some up. A while later we seasoned the tails with lemon pepper and a few lemon wedges and wrapped them in foil. The steaks took a short swim in Dale's. I served mine with a homebrew Irish Ale and SWMBO had a glass of Ménage à Trois.

The tails were awesome! Thank You Canada!

I made a chicken and potato curry with a side of a spiced roasted head of cauliflower. Don't let anyone tell you cauliflower is bland!

 

[Stauffbier]

Sourdough beer bread with spent grains..

This thread is chock full of awesomeness.

Königsberger Klopse tonight. These meatballs are boiled. They contain bacon and anchovies, and they are covered with a caper/lemon sauce. I've been making this for years, and my daughter is now making it for us. Served with colcannon (irish kale potatoes). I like these meatballs because they are a flavor explosion. Awesomeness for the mouth.

Sounds interesting, recipe?

The meatballs are out of an old cookbook I have. If my scanner was working properly, I'd stick it on there, but unfortunately it's busted.

The colcannon comes from here: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/colcannon/

Start the weekend off right. Grilled salmon with a spicy porter reduction sauce, roasted cauliflower and broccoli and rice pilaf.

Being a fool, I planted a lemon tree behind my house 12 years ago. I have WAY more lemons than I know what to do with. I used to juice them, then just save the frozen juice, but what then?

I guess I'll try this next time the tree bears fruit.

I know the feeling. What the hell am I going to do with all these?!

I did put some lemon (3) and orange (2) zest into my most recent IPA, and I'm liking the results, though!

Ground up some beef for burgers. This time I used 1 lb chuck, 8 oz brisket, and 8 oz short rib, and it was pretty darn fatty. Next time, I'll try 12 oz brisket and 4 oz short rib and see if that makes an improvement.

In any event, I topped the burgers with bacon, onions, and some horseradish cheddar and served it with some grilled carrots and swiss chard. Grilled carrots are always great, but the grilled chard, while it is a really cool color, wasn't that great. A learning experience all 'round.

My favorite breakfast.

Assembled. I like the sunny side up eggs under the gravy. Damn this was good now I have the fuel to go work in the yard or i might take a nap.

Costco had big ol' bags of Washington mussels yesterday - grabbed a bag ($13) for dinner.

Heated up some olive oil and butter in my big pot, added a bag of Trader Joe's frozen sliced leeks, one chopped red onion, and about 8 cloves of garlic - sauteed that all down tender, then added some Old Bay seasoning and some freshly-ground black pepper, then one each homebrewed Centennial Blonde and London Brown Porter. Brought that all up to a good simmer, let it stew a few minute, threw the whole lot of mussels in it and slapped on the lid. In about 6 minutes they were opened, plump, and gorgeous.

Have a BUNCH left so we're gonna pick the meat from the shells and reheat the broth, then throw in the meat for a mussels stew of sorts. With homemade almost no knead bread. I'll see if I can remember to take a picture later - wasn't happening last night, the mussels and linguine with pesto were just too tempting to stop and take a picture!

Mmmmmm ... love biscuits and gravy!

Grill fries and steak

 

[JonM]

Grilled some tilapia fillets (which I learned is a very soft, delicate, and unforgiving fish that requires extra care while turning) with grilled Brussels sprouts and served it with some cheesy biscuits.

As I was standing near the grill, I could see tons of lightning in the west, and heading my way. I got completely soaked during the last five minutes of the cook. Oh well - April showers and such.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Got a tri-tip going in the sous vide, wife is at the grocery store so we'll see what we end up having alongside it...

Pics later.

 

[ChefRex]

Pulled some pork shoulder out of the freezer to make tacos, rice and beans and tostones:rockin:

Such dedication to grilling is awesome! I've grilled in the rain a few times myself, I even bought an extra large umbrella just for grilling.

Friday I made pecan crusted catfish. Dip in egg, coat with plain bread crumb/corn meal breading (with a few herbs & spices) & let dry a bit, then dip in egg again & coat with both finely & coarsely chopped pecans. Deep fried in canola oil, served up with cole slaw & young asparagus sauteed in butter with Vidalia onions. Washed it all down with (wait for it...)

MCEWAN'S SCOTCH ALE!!! It's back!!! Not quite the same as I remember, but still an awesome Scotch ale. It comes in 4pks now, and only 11.2 oz bottles. I waited a looooong time for a McEwan's Scotch ale. Friday was a good day!
Regards, GF.
