[bbqLuv]

Looks good.
You done good, PBR good.
The salmon looks amazing.

[fzxdoc]

What a healthy meal! Nice work.

I'm thinking tonight is salmon night for my hubby. I may whip up some Lemon Aioli to go with. I bet he'd love it.

Did a couple of chuckies on the Weber Saturday. Some for a neighbor who passed on his dad’s Lionel trains to me and some for us. He knows I am a collector as I helped him and his son get it running a few years back.
Used a “Southwest” rub from a Weber cookbook. Came out delicious!

[JCBBQ]

Hawker, if you love trains you might check out this guy on instagram and YouTube- Francis Bourgeois…not his real name. As my future English SIL says, “he’s definitely got a touch of the tism” but he also refers to him as a National Treasure bc he loves and knows everything about the trains/drivers/etc of the National Rail.

[SheilaAnn]

I swear HawkerXP the first words in my head were, “choo-choos!”

My daddy bought my sister and I tons of train stuff, especially for under the Christmas tree. You just made me cry. I’m not going to get mushy…. But this was very cool.

[HawkerXP]

Thank you @JCBBQ

Sunday Leg Quarters!

Well, we did take a trip to Grandpa's Cheese Barn up near Mansfield, OH on Saturday. Finally made it back up there to stock up on some good cheeses, and a few other things we like.

Found a couple rubs as well, and ended up using their "Best Bird Rub" on the leg quarters, Very good!

Leg quarters were dry brined overnight, rubbed a few hours before the cook. Pecan and Apple wood chips for the smoke, ran the Weber with the Vortex at about 350 for an hour and 45. Little windy out but sunny and clear, so no problem holding a pretty steady temp for the entire cook. Other than brushing a little melted butter on at the end, I left the quarters dry. No sauces, except at the table.

The haul from Grandpa's Cheese Barn on Saturday. Not pictured, the Ohio Swiss, and Smoked White Cheddar:



Leg Quarters ready to go!



On the Weber/Vortex:



And finally, on the counter! Juicy, tasty, and the rub really did well:

Sunday evening fixed some Korean Flanken Ribs (Kalbi / Galbi)... I had planned to use the Weber Kettle but with a Red Flag warning in effect I waited until the winds died down and used the Weber Searwood...

Here is the recipe I used - https://www.seriouseats.com/grilled-...ted-short-ribs

Dang!!!

[JCBBQ]

Hoooooly bleep!

[Elton's BBQ]

Yessire!!

I scored another righteous 2 inch thick Porterhouse at Publix today and the price of beef there had definitely dropped. That made my 2025. Added some balsamic glazed Brussel sprouts with bacon and a trial run of our Thanksgiving corn pudding recipe. Good day.

[Jfrosty27]

Righteous indeed!! I’m jealous. I don’t see those around here. I need to have the butcher custom cut one for me and even then it’s not like that one. Yum.

[HawkerXP]

Got to love when the meat gods shine their light in our direction.

[captainlee]

You got a like even with the Brussels.

[JCBBQ]

Fregola (Italian couscous) mixed with some curried cauliflower, onions and chickpeas. What’s the difference between a chickpea and a garban…never mind. Topped with black cod and a persimmon and pomegranate salsa. Fish had crispy skin and flaky meat…definitely getting better at cooking fish. 💪

[JCBBQ]

SheilaAnn wabout Thai curries?

[SheilaAnn]

JCBBQ never tried one. I just can’t get past the smell……

[fzxdoc]

Wowza!

[bbqLuv]

First attempt at Moink Balls. 6/10

"Bacon makes everything better" so why not meat balls.
1. Thaw frozen dinner meat balls
2. Wrap each meat ball with 1/2 strip of thin sliced bacon
3. Traegerize at 275*F for an hour or so
4. Adjust temp to 325(F to crip bacon
5. Glaze with BBQ sauce.

[Spinaker]

I found you gotta coat them in a really sweet sauce. I like to use Blues Hog Champions blends, or Raz Chipo.

[bbqLuv]

Spinaker good advice. Thanks. Next time.

[theroc]

Made up a batch of Lidia Bastianich's creamy fava soup with rice. Perfect for the cold, rainy day we had.

[Elton's BBQ]

Looks really good!

[Spinaker]

Sabrina had a long 12-hour shift block at the hospital and I told her I would make any meal she wanted.......she chose.....Homemade, Chicken Shahi Korma.

I am so lucky to be able to cook for someone like Sabrina. Makes everything worth it.

[JCBBQ]

Ha! Was just telling my wife that I love how much she appreciates my cooking. Totally makes all the difference. Sabrina sounds like she’s a keeper…nudge nudge 😂😂

[Spinaker]

That's weird............you are the first person ever to give me that nudge. LOL JCBBQ

[JCBBQ]

😂😂😂😂

[Ace]

Bored, don't want to cook but want quick and easy comfort food.
Boil and serve cheddar broccoli rice from Knorr.
Heat and serve shrimp sautéed in garlic butter from our local Chef Store.
Enjoyed the dinner and it was an easy clean up.

[Huskee]

Ain't nuthin wrong with that. Sometimes simple is good. In fact, more than sometimes.

[fzxdoc]

Great Desperation Dinner for a night when you don't feel like cooking. Nice going!

Shrimp is a good DD protein for me too. Husband loves anything with shrimp in it.

Bouillabaisse tonight from our Alaska Cook Book. Clams, New Zealand Muscles, Scallops and Shrimp. Homemade bread from a new recipe which I am going to have to tweak a bit for this altitude. The tomato base was made from our greenhouse summer tomatoes. Rocky Mountain Oysters were not available for this cook.

[MBMorgan]

Very nice! Which Alaska cookbook do you have?

[hoovarmin]

Yeah!

[Richard Chrz]

Absolute Yum!

[captainlee]

MBMorgan. Here is the booklet. I think we found it at a tourist trap. It has 21 recipes.

[MBMorgan]

MBMorgan. Here is the booklet. I think we found it at a tourist trap. It has 21 recipes.

Here are two of our favorites from our Alaska years:

Both are excellent and both seem to be available on Amazon in VERY limited numbers if you’re interested.

[captainlee]

Thanks. We'll be down n Castle Rock in December before Xmas. I'll keep you posted.

[MBMorgan]

Please do!

[hoovarmin]

Birthday chicken enchiladas verde with beans and rice. My daughter Bret came over for dinner and we wore matching hats. She wore it better. Today was a great day.

[Richard Chrz]

Happiest of birthday wishes David, I hope your day was good and that the next trip around the Sun treats you with nothing but good.

What a fun photo of your daughter Bret and yourself.

The meal looks absolute money!

[JCBBQ]

Happy birthday! That is an adorable pic. Happy for you. ❤️❤️❤️

[fzxdoc]

Happy birthday! A couple of days late, but the sentiments are still there.

Well, believe it or not, I found 3 pounds of stew beef in the freezer yesterday morning, and spent an hour and a half yesterday in the kitchen total, making a very good batch of beef stew, following a random recipe I found online:

https://damndelicious.net/2020/02/29/best-ever-beef-stew/

And when I thought to post a picture of my yummy dutch oven full of goodness today.. guess what! I forgot to take a picture! We've had 2 meals already, along with generous seconds for me, and will have some for lunch another day this week.

Recipe is highly recommended. I never would have thought to add mushrooms, but they gave it some extra umami for sure. Just don't do like I did and spill a measuring cup of wine on the kitchen counter, to run over the edge and down the front of the oven and all over the floor...

[Andrrr]

Saved! Tis the season for soups and stews, after all.
