What did I cook this weekend.....

[JonM]

Nice! Yeah, the fajita meat is about $2.50 too.

 

[mattmmille]

Got a batch of spent grain dog treats in the oven.

 

[Melana]

I managed a cinnamon mug cake. Oooohhhh....

SWMBO is having a girls' night, so I'm grilling brats and having a cigar. I improv'd a foil pan because I had too many peppers and onions to fit in the cast iron gratin dish.

Leftovers will be my brew day grub on Saturday.

 

[mattmmille]

How about a little pesto with basil and parsley from my garden, plus the usual garlic, toasted pine nuts, parmesan cheese and some basil infused EVOO? Coat an 8oz swordfish steak and fridge for a couple hours and then used my stovetop grill pan. Tasty!

Grilling and a cigar. Hard to beat that!

Similar to facebook, this site is missing a "dislike" button. But if it had one, this post would get it.

I made buttermilk biscuits. It's like magic, turning butter, flour, & buttermilk into these perfect little disks of baked goodness. No pics, sorry. Maybe next time!

Ouch...harsh, dude. What do you have against pesto and/or swordfish?!

I love pesto.

Swordfish are 1) indiscriminately and severely overfished, and 2) contain higher levels of mercury than any other fish known to man. Shortly said, you should not be buying or eating swordfish.

Your information on the sustainability of swordfish is outdated. http://www.fishwatch.gov/seafood_profiles/species/swordfish/species_pages/north_atlantic_swordfish.htm

And canned tuna is MUCH worse than swordfish for mercury. There are recommendations to restrict the intake of fish to smaller amounts, especially fish with higher content, and to limit the frequency. However, many believe that the health benefits of fish greatly outweigh the risks. Personally, I don't eat a lot of fish in general. This was the first piece of fish that I have consumed in months, so I think I'm okay. (Actually, I make tuna salad pretty often...but I buy line-caught, good quality tuna, packed in olive oil.) I would much rather focus on the reasons WHY there are fish with mercury in them and trying to stop or greatly reduce that! (Like stopping the replacement of incandescent bulbs with more expensive twisty bulbs that contain mercury and aren't supposed to be put in the trash and are supposed to be handled like hazardous waste if you break one...and you KNOW there's a bunch of people that aren't disposing of them or handling them properly.)

 

[slym2none]

I was changing a flourescent tube-bulb once in a store with ceiling fans, and accidentally broke one after getting too close to the fan blades. I was showered with broken glass & whatever gases are inside those things (flourine &...?).

I am surprised I'm not dead already.

Damn I can't have brown cabinets or eat swordfish? Oh wait yes I can I live in America. I haven't had swordfish in ages but suddenly I am craving it.

 

[Kharnynb]

My biggest issue with swordfish would be the amount of parasites, back when i lived in Zandvoort, the local fishmonger didn't want to sell it because he either had to throw out over 50% of filets or sell things he wasn't sure of.

Made something different (for us anyway) yesterday. Our state return posted Friday, so we shopped at super wallyworld. Found these Johnsonville "steakhouse onion" grillers. 1/4lb pork patties with seasonings & worcestershire already in them. So I figured, sorta like brat burgers? I cooked two boxes (6 count) on my seasoned cast iron griddle/griller pan that covers two burners. They wound up smelling like seasoned pork chops while they cooked. Served like burgers with beefsteak tomato, burly-cut lettuce & sharp cheddar cheese. I also doused it with mayo & sriracha. A lil potato & macaroni salad as well. Boy, did those things have a nice grilled onion aroma & flavor. Said on box they were a new flavor? I've gotta try smokin' some of these things if/when the rain & wind stops.

Made a sous vide version of chicken cordon bleu, worked out quite well and stuffing the breast into a bag is a lot easier then trying to seal the breast with toothpicks but I miss the breadcrumb crust.
Served with sweet potatoes spiced with chipotle, a favorite of mine! And broccoli rabe.
An HB IPA on the side. Happiness!View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1430085766.163524.jpg

I wish I had taken a picture first - made a 3-meat lasagne tonight, had to finish it on the grill because the oven crapped out on me. Ground beef, sausage, and pepperoni. The grill burnt a little of the bottom and the burnt cheese & the burnt pepperoni was the best part of the dish.

I'm not cooking fish. Only time I may be able to cook till next weekend at the earliest. I'm doing my variation on an Anne Burrell chicken braise recipe. Roasted jalapenos and tomatillos on the grill. Browned the chicken on a really hot grill. Now cooking onions and garlic in the pot.

Keep the pics comin'! I want to see how that ends up!

 

[Staestc]

Grilled chicken back in the pot with the onions, garlic, pre-roasted tomatillos and jalapeños, and some chicken stock.

If I was going to cook a fish, it might well be a swordfish though!

Drank plenty of beer but didn't post so it probably didn't happen but I'm beered out.
Pomegranate mead for a night cap, came out really good!View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1430096541.933995.jpg
