What did I cook this weekend.....

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Chopped sirloin steak (restaurant speak for hamburger) egg and provalone breakfast slider.

I was so pleased that the local kind of hoity-toity grocery store had scallops clearly labeled as "Dry packed." Dry-packed scallops are freakin' fabulous on the grill. Well, they were clearly not dry packed, as they turned into a mushy mess that splooged that white sodium tripolyphosphate everywhere. Gonna complain today. Hopefully I can get a free sixer from their very good beer selection.

I hate it when that happens...

That's just awesome! I have not done those since I was a kid camping with my parents. I wonder if I can find the pie irons?

They're actually surprisingly easy to find these days. Camp or sporting goods sections of big box stores have them. I see them at Meijer here in MI, but I see you're in TX. Maybe a larger grocery superstore down there? All I know is H.E.B. but I don't know how much they have besides food & beer.

That sucks. I stopped eating/buying scallops because everything in the stores nowadays is packed in that yucky splooge. No matter how hot the pan is they wont brown. Ruins an otherwise outstanding food. Its very hard to find the dry ones and when you do they are like $30/lb. BS.

Lol. I was unclear. I need to find mine! I think they are here somewhere.

I hate them packed is that what ever it is. I am very lucky to live near the coast so we can always get dry packed scallops. The fish guy at the local store will tell me when they came in and from what port. YUM

I eat them often. Seared in a screaming hot pan so they brown on the outside and are not overcooked in the middle.

Meatloaf. Was going to go on the grill but just as I was ready it started pouring.

Oddly enough, there's a farmside produce stand nearby, and the guy has a big cooler in the back full of Gulf shrimp and genuinely dry-packed scallops. That guy is a more reliable source for good scallops than the fancy high-end grocery store.

I think bacon wrapped meatloaf should be a food group. It's one of my favorites in the rotation.

Yum.

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I cooked chicken tikka masala over rice, with steamed broccoli. This Allagash triple pairs nicely, I think.

 

[Staestc]

I'm doing chicken for tacos tonight. Sautéed garlic and chipotle chilies for a little bit then added fresh squeezed orange juice and a bit of Lea & Perrins and the chicken breasts. Got to simmer now.

[Temptd2]

Marinated pork steaks over oakwood fire in the grill, corn on the cob slathered in butter, avocado with fresh-from-the-garden lime juice and sea salt. My sister recently sent me some real live New Mexico red Hatch chile powder, I used that on the pork along with garlic salt, onion powder, cumin, oregano, lime juice, and a splash of homebrewed beer. Should be good. Of course I won't remember to take pictures when faced with eating that yumminess!

I love Indian food. And British Indian food. That looks great!

Damn girl! Your going all out tonight! Would love to get my hands on some of the red Hatch chili powder! Time to drive out west again and visit my brother in law. He's in Las Cruses and I always hit the groceries when we get out there!!

Awesome! I would have had to through some little red potatoes in too. They do such a great job of soaking up all those flavors!

 

[Staestc]

Chicken is cooked, shredded, sauce is reduced, chicken is back in, and it's ready for tacos!

Looks fantastic! And impossible to do anything better with fresh corn than to roast it in the husks!!

Color in the picture looks perfect! How are you going to cook the brisket?

Lots of smoke. Actually got 2 one going in charcoal side box and one in electric. experiment

 

[Staestc]

The chicken taco recipe from America's Test Kitchen is a keeper! Turned out fantastic despite no grill being involved, much to my surprise! I will definitely be doing it again!

Correcting my own post. Now that I look at the picture on a computer instead of the phone the potatoes are obvious! lol

Ah. My mistake. Well, if you can't find them, you should be able to replace easily.
