What did I cook this weekend.....

[Homercidal]

Breakfast sandwiches on Sunday morning for the group of friends. Nothing special, but I wanted to mention it because they are so tasty.

Yesterday I made up a bunch of ABT's, but somehow the bacon got left behind, so I had to substitute with thin sliced ham. They were very good.

Tomatillos going on for salsa verde. I couldn't find Anaheims, which are typically what I use.

I use to drink the "Ruthless Rye" all the time, really liked it. I haven't seen it in a while....Is that a new one? I don't think I've seen it before. Oh, veggies are looking good too!

Ruthless is part of the fall combo pack from SN (IIRC). Usually it's coupled with Tumbler and a few others.

Yeah, I've seen it in its own 12pks too. I was more curious about the "River Ryed" IPA. I'm assuming it's a play off the popular David Duncan book, which is one of my favorites.

I must get a better camera.

Anyway, a zucchini the size of a MagLite flashlight, a generous double handful of grape tomatoes and a pound of 16-20 count shrimp generously doused in olive oil, garlic, salt and oregano. All done on the Weber kettle.

And six big shrimp left over for surf n turf tomorrow.

Rolled pork roast. Smoked over mulberry and basted with LKK Char Siu sauce with a few minor additions.

^^ Mmm, gopher tortoise.

 

[Temptd2]

Nah, that's a filet of roadkill opossum. Looks tasty!

I think you're right. Those look like Goodyear all-season tread marks.

I like turtles.

 

[Temptd2]

I have had some tasty turtle soup in my lifetime....

Brisket over the weekend,

Nice smoke ring. Local place makes a brisket and beer cheese nachos that are awesome. I'm gonna get a full packer on my smoker when football season starts.

 

[passedpawn]

went looking for turtle meat on Amazon...

... do you really think people are "frequently" buying these things together? I'd think some agency should be alerted if you order this combination.

Ha ha! Close. I cut a pork loin into 6 and grilled one chunk. Making soup with the remainder.

When I see a 3' long, lean pork loin at the store for (like) 60 cents a pound I wonder how anybody is starving in this country. Great value in those things. Too easy to dry out on the grill though - one of the few things I'd consider doing sous vide.

Loin, not the tenderloin. Fattier. Always cook til pink in the center.

Well those are the three things *I* frequently buy together. Along with snout of newt and pickled pigs' feet.

Hmmm... I see. Didn't know that.

We had a local place serve Lion. They caught holy hell, though the lion was from a farm used just for this purpose. Wonder if it was tender. Tenderlion. I took one of my boys there and the lion was gone and elk was the exotic carne du jour.

Cast iron seared ribeye basted in thyme and garlic butter.

I wouldn't think it would be to difficult to find fresh snapping turtle down in Florida somewhere! But, I am frequently wrong. If you find it, it is well worth a try!

Granted, I've never had 'farm raised' lion, but IMO predators are high on the food chain for a very good reason. They taste horrible. Lean, gristly, tough stringy meat. A friend of mine went Mountain Lion hunting a couple years ago and offered me a steak. From then on, I will always politely decline. Elk on the other hand is deee-lish! I think its about time to enter in for the permit lottery again

Suddenly the sloppy joes I made for dinner are less appealing thinking of fresh Elk steaks over the camp fire *sigh*

Side note/question. Has anyone ever heard of sloppy joes called 'made-rights'? I have never heard that in my entire life and ran into two people calling them that last week. Is it a regional thing, or were they off their rocker?

The sear on that looks really nice as does the spice and butter.

 

[user 211287]

Smoked a turkey breast for over 6hr yesterday.

Maid-Rite---Iowa chain of loose meat sandwiches, very similar to sloppy joe. I believe they have beef broth/worchester sauce base, and not ketchup/tomatoes like sloppy joes.

 

[paulthenurse]

Evilgrin, I literally growled "Mmmmmmmm", really low and deep in my throat when I saw that turkey and my mouth started watering.

Now I'm hungry.

Is it the good turtle soup,
Or merely the mock ...

Less sauce than a sloppy joe in my experience. Also, Never heard the term outside of Iowa.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I suppose it makes sense considering I was at a get-together in Iowa when I met both of those people..I'll start hitting Google a bit harder before I reach out to the wonderful HBT community with 'dumb' questions. Thanks guys!
