[kev211]

Tried out the new meat grinder today. 50-50 buffalo tri tip/bacon burgers with grilled bacon on top with a little egg action. Also added some grilled onion. Went open face with a slick of brioche on the bottom

I've been way busy the last month or two with work and 10,000 home chores and have not been posting much. Nothing special much cooked except a 12 lb pork butt that i made breakfast sausage out of 3 lbs a smoked pulled pork out of the rest with slaw and a cool sauce.

Today, Sorpotel, but without all the traditional heart, kidneys, etc. Just normal pork meat.

Lots of beef tenderloin lately, seared in pan in thin layer of butter. Tonight had left over filet with scrambled eggs, crispy fries, fresh fruit, and super buttery crispy grilled cheese sandwiches with kraft slices and balongna. The kids literally stuffed their faces. I was just happy to save the money and calories from ordering pizza.

Garnished with sprouts, radishes, sawtooth cilantro, mint and crushed dry toasted rice. Served on Boston lettuce leaf wraps.

SWMBO took the leftovers to work. Damn her.

I eat/cook a lot of seafood and I literally live on the shores of the largest system of freshwater lakes on the planet where we have access to lots of good seafood ...

... but I just spent a week in New England and ... holy s*%#, I have never had such flipping fabulous seafood ever in my life.

Funny, I live on the Altantic coast, and I never call fresh water fishes "seafood". Sort of a pet peeve of mine when I look at a menu and see tilapia or trout listed under the heading seafood. Glad you enjoyed yourself and the good seafood!

Blackberry, hoisin, and ginger pork tenderloin.

So after a week on vacation and stuffing our faces with seafood, beer and meals that ... well, were wonderful but not our usually healthy meals, I tried something I've wanted to experiment with before our garden veggies are ready: grilled ratatouille.

I folded a pan out of heavy duty aluminum foil and put it on the grill over indirect heat. I cubed up a grocery store eggplant and added the first of our garden's cherry tomatoes, half of a sliced red onion, two cloves of minced garlic, a liberal lug of olive oil and a small handful of salt. All that went into the foil pan and cooked for 30 minutes or so, until the eggplant started to soften and the tomatoes started to split open.

I then sliced two zucchinis down the middle, rubbed a little olive oil on them and put them cut-side down on direct heat and turned a couple times. Once they were a little charred and soft, I chopped them and added to the rest.

A quick stir, and it was ready for serving. Remarkably satisfying just on its own. Can't wait for our own eggplants and more tomatoes to be ready!

We love Paella!! I make it often, mostly through the spring and summer months. I would recommend this pan to anyone who is looking to get into it. You can make Paella without it, but the presentation is tough to beat with it!

I bought that 20" paella pan for my weber. Finally pushing off for its maiden voyage next weekend. Family coming and I'm gonna do it right when they get here. Already got the Bomba rice and a 5 gram jar of saffron (caught the safron on a Lightning Deal on Amazon out of pure luck).

Wish me luck! Hope it turns out as delectable as yours.

My oldest boy will be home with his spanish girlfriend, so I'm gonna get a good critique I hope.

Kids are out of town, so we're cooking for two. My wife made walleye in a broth the other night. Morrocan chicken with dates tonight.

Almost all of the vegetables these days are from the back yard. (And the chicken was local from our CSA; the fish is *probably* from within 100 miles.)

Smoked the lamb in the egg, then finished it off on my Blackstone griddle.

Barbecued a ton of chicken last night. I did half a grill full of wings before these thighs and breasts!

Hosted a luau yesterday as a fundraiser for a charity my daughter is involved with. Raised a ton of money, met a bunch of nice new friends and disproved the Surgeon General's position that all smoking is evil and bad for you.

Although I will admit that it's HIGHLY addictive.

104# of smoked pigaliscous yummyness right there.

Likewise. You and I are what's wrong with the craft beer scene. Currently looking for the next beer I serve at 130F.

But - but - but - you can't do that! It's Shake and BAKE! You should've bought Shake and SKILLET!

Nice to see what you've been doing with the electric skillet!

Those steaks you posted recently looked great as well.

When we get our new house, I definitely need an electric skillet. They're a forgotten tool of the modern kitchen, in my opinion.

Lunch calzones for deep sea fishing tomorrow.

Meatball, onion cheese and sauce plus a coppa ham, onion, cheese, and mustard.

Sure hope the fish don't interrupt lunch.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1501553174.503595.jpg

Scrambled some eggs with garden vegetables. Sounds like such a simple dish but it has so much meaning for us. The kids helped plant them and we picked them this morning. Then I diced up the vegetables they picked, with a little bit of jalapeno, maybe a quarter teaspoon or less, then seared it all in the skillet with olive oil. Scrambled eggs on them and covered with Velveeta cheese slices and served on a warm slider bun. To pick the vegetables with the kids and then serve them to them always is happy for me.
