First in for the season's SUWYC! Happy Equinox one and all, today everyone on the planet gets exactly 12 hours of sun (clouds omitted for clarity )
Another simple but cosmically delicious ground beef taco meal. Sauteed sweet onions in EVOO, then 80/20 ground chuck seasoned with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, homegrown oregano, Rancho Gordo red chile powder, cumin, and glugs of Ortega medium taco sauce, Heinz Simply ketchup (GREAT to cook with), and Monroe's red chile sauce. So good.
Plated on white corn tortillas zapped in the microwave for 30 seconds. Yes, I could griddle them and so forth, but this is so fast and has them piping hot for service. Smothered in shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, and homegrown tomatoes from the rapidly dwindling supply, couple dollops of light sour cream. And they're "too bigga eat" (anyone recognize that ref?), so we knife and fork 'em.

Good idea, HotSun . It would be a fun twist on a traditional Thanksgiving side.
The fact that it is not spicy would appeal to many Turkey Day feasters. I'll hold back on the kimchi as an accompaniment to the Corn Cheese, probably.

Yes. Especially since it’s not been a torrential rain fortunately, but slow and steady. At least here it has.

Thank you.
It’s The wife’s recipe for the meatballs, simmered in my “wing it” sauce.
Wing it = set basic ingredients, but no set measurements, just go by feel
Did some Costco baby backs in the PBC tonight. Just shy of 4 hours, and they turned out pretty darn good. Our kitchen is 3/4 of the way through a remodel so it has been eat out or cook out for the last month. PBC for the win again.
So we’re doing our Catholic parish fundraiser tonight. It’s a progressive back yard party night. We’re one of the hosts and the theme we choose was Octoberfest. Bought a bunch of German 🍺 and bratwurst. Did half on the SNS and the other on the Silverbac. Though I ended up searing the smoked ones on the SNS because my wife said they were too chewy. ERRRH. So I did and they were awesome.

Went to my parent’s house today to meet another group of relatives from Germany. With, I also got to cook on my dad’s Weber Genesis with the griddle insert. Now, not really cooking I guess, more of crisping up these amazing carnitas for tacos!
Tacos were excellent but this dang griddle insert was fantastic!
An experiment. By cutting the pork butt horizontally it allowed the heat to penetrate in much less time than normal low and slow BBQing. Time was approximately just shy of an hour a pound. The fat cap top cooked to 200 quicker (5hrs) than the bottom half (7hrs) probably due to them being not exactly even in height either. Used SPG for a dry rub and smoked with mesquite large and small smoker boxes. From the Cowboy Cook Book – Cowboy Beans P. 43. Slow cooked on the grill with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Smoked with mesquite. I may have added a little too much water, so I added a bit of salt and some chopped bacon. I felt it was a big improvement. #hurstbeans #McCormickSpice #mortonsalt #westernbbq #WesternWood #WesternBBQProducts #westernbbqwood #teamchargriller #chargriller #chargrillergrills #kingsford #Pwtallahassee #pigglywigglysouthtallahassee
