Grilled hotdogs on grill toasted buttered buns. I hadn't made grilled dogs in ages, I mean literally for years. I made 1 this past weekend at the vacay house on a whim and it was freaking delicious. So I made myself a couple for dinner (Barbara is working late and eating at work.) The dogs are Nathan's Famous skinless bun length beef franks. The rolls are cheap supermarket brand.

Here they mere moments before they disappeared, dressed with a spicy brown deli mustard, Tiger Sauce and homemade sauerkraut.

Sitka Salmon Shares continues to be our go to for fish …. Even not grilled. Tonight was an easy rice pilaf, green salad, and baked cod.

Baked cod: preheat oven at 400F. Mix together lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, 15 odd cherry tomatoes cut in half, and some thyme fresh from the garden. Laid a pound of cod into that, cooked for 15 minutes. It was flaking and tender, so pulled the cod right then.

Rice pilaf: toast 1 cup long grain white rice in very hot oil (use something with a higher scorch point, like grape seed or avocado or canola oil). Stir often for about 5 minutes. You will smell when the rice is nicely toasted, don’t let it stand in the hot oil and burn. Add 2-3 cloves crushed/minced garlic and 1/4 cup diced celery. Stir over medium heat until garlic is aromatic. Add 1 3/4 cup chicken broth, bring to a boil. Immediately turn to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Take off heat, and let sit, covered for 10 more minutes. DO NOT uncover the pot. After 10 minutes, uncover, fluff with a fork, and serve.

Our 38 y/o daughter requested seafood for her Bday dinner tonight:

Dungeness crab cakes with a Creole-style remolade
Seared scallops
Cole slaw with apples, honey, lemon, yogurt, vinegar dressing
Green crisped rice pilaf with pistachios, serrano chile, snap peas, raisins, green peas, feta, etc.

The crab cakes and the scallops were cooked on the flat side of Grill Grates, on my gas Weber. Since the holes in the GG don't allow accumulation of oil, I brushed an avocado oil/melted butter mixture over everything just before flipping. That helped with browning.

Our 32nd anniversary and dear wife wished for seafood. Her wish was my command! Started with seared scallops accompanied by seaweed salad and squid.

Then Alaskan King Crab with watermelon salad. Then surprise desert. (I can’t believe I ate the whole thing….)
I also arranged a Blue Angels fly over!

BBQ chicken thighs, made on the pellet grill at 400F for about 40 minutes. Got to use my new Thermapen One. You wouldn't think that a 1 second read vs 3 seconds is that big a deal, but trust me, it is. The thighs were dusted with Blasphemy Rib Rub (modified version of Memphis Dust) and then a light coating of BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays) about 10 minutes before pulling. Served with roasted carrots in olive oil and honey, also made in the smoker (30 minutes) alongside the thighs.

I made a second brisket and Mac & cheese round! This brisket came out even better (smoked Waugh beef tallow didn’t hurt!) and my wife insisted I could sell it. All of the pictured cheese went into the Mac & cheese… $$$$

I also did brisket nachos with the leftovers which were a huge upgrade over non-brisket nachos.

A friend dropped off some venison steaks this spring. Finally got around to cooking them with some live fire, and a custom steak butter made by a friend. My wife even went and picked us fresh salad from the gardens.
