My favorite dinner of Tri Tip, dry brined with Meat Church Texas Sugar rub, reversed seared over Cowboy briquettes on the Weber Kettle and SnS. Served with sautéed baby bella mushrooms and steamed cauliflower with a mustard cheddar cheese sauce. A Makers Mark 46 was enjoyed during the process.

This ain’t no groundbreaking cook or nothin’, just a grilled pork chop and sausage. I mainly wanted to post this because I found a really great brand of sausage I wanted to share. I ain’t never done did heard of it before, until about a year or so ago. I believe it was jfmorris who mentioned how good this Conecuh brand sausage was, it’s made in Alabama where Jim lives. Well lemme tell ya, this stuff is really good, some of the best I ever done did had! It was full of flavor and had a nice snap to it. I’m already putting it in my top 2 sausages I’ve ever bought at a grocery store! Whenever I do sausage on the grill I usually use a water pan to achieve a more moist sausage and not dried out. Did that tonight also. I never grill sausage over the heat, always off to the side, it can achieve a crispy skin that way without being burnt over the heat.

Anyway, the only bad news is that this is sold mainly in the South and is not widely available across the U.S. In Houston I was only able to find it at a small Hispanic grocery store chain called Fiesta Mart. If you go to the Conecuh website they do have a store locater tab which can tell you the closest store selling it in your area. Highly recommended!

They have a few different varieties available, I bought their Cajun Smoked Sausage and their Hickory Smoked Sausage.

Tunisian lamb and eggplant stew over farro. Delicious but I think next time I’ll just skip the eggplant and call it Tunisian Chili. The meat and spices were spectacular. Farro is a really nice change from rice.

Made Bulgogi last night using the Serious Eats recipe. Used the Hasty Bake, which is awesome for this even if it does burn a lot of charcoal for a quick two person meal :-)

Served with rice, kimchi (Cleveland brand from grocery store, pretty good) and Sichuan style cucumbers.

Blackened some Coho Salmon from Lake Michigan here a half hour ago for dinner. Too cold to grill them so did them in my cast iron pan with a little canola oil. Little bit of my homemade dill dip on the side but we both enjoyed the flavor of the blackening without the dill.

Been feeling crappy all week with a stupid head cold so today I decided to roast (indoors) a couple pork butts to shred for the freezer since I felt a little better...

Certainly not exciting or difficult but good. Air fried with jarred sauce and my grind of parmigiana cheese.

Big ol’ 7 qt pot of chili. Yeah, I put the beans in it. It’s a strategic move to try to win the cookoff; we are in Pennsylvania. These people are bean eaters.

This ugly pie is called a pasty here in Michigan. Mostly done as hand helds for individual servings and taking to the mines for lunch days gone by. They are also made as a full pie as I have done. Filling is coarse ground chuck, diced potato and rutabaga and some diced onion. Then baked for 75 minutes. After I took the picture of the plated one I doused it in ketchup. Some use gravy. Either way is fine for the Yoopers. Such a nice flaky crust on the meat pie.

Just sloppy joes tonight. Had to help my daughters dig out their car down on campus, so that short-cut our plan on replicating my mom”s pizza.

The sloppy joe recipe is from my father-in-law’s donut shop/lunch counter shop from years ago. Super simple, but it was written for 5lbs of beef. We’re not entirely sure we’ve got the proportions right for a 1lb recipe. Add to that, I used grass-fed ground beef and that does change the flavor a titch. The wife noticed it as well. Not bad, just different.

Shredded cheddar and pickles to
top it off.

46* in Spokane today and the head cold is almost gone, so, what's a body to do???
Yep, clean up the gasser and grill a T-Bone.
Paired with Yukon Gold potatoes with homemade sour cream dill sauce and green beans.

Smokers are still under ice and the forecast called for snow so I made Jambalaya...

Pro-tip, make sure you have all of the ingredients you need before cooking...I thought I had rice but didn't so I used two boxes of Rice-a-Roni Wild Rice...came out pretty good...
