Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Nerd!

 

Yellowstone is incredible!!!!

The chicken thighs got pushed one night due to a severe storm that hit us hard right as I was bringing the Egg up to temp. So I shut it down, grabbed another beer, and ordered pizza. LOL

But they came out incredible. I probably wont ever make them any other way unless they are part of multiple choices being made.

 

Foggy here this morning and muggy/muggy behind that all day long, along with hot.

Tonight I’ll be frying fresh catfish and hush puppies. Other sides will be cheese grits and a freshly made Romaine salad topped with vine ripe tomatoes.

Always ice cold longnecks for me with fried fish and Ms. Jan will stick with her chilled wine.

Life is good in Gator Nation!

 

Schedules seem to have a lot in common with skates—they can both roll in different directions for no apparent reason.....

 

YUM! That sounds soooo good!

 

Correct, fresh water cats—don’t really care for anything but river cats—you are correct about the taste can be off on lake/pond/ or farm raised. Over here both the Apalachicola and Chipola rivers produce great eating catfish.

 

Just to touch on last night’s supper a minute—for a long time we have used Sargento shredded cheddar making cheese grits but last night we used Sargento 4-State cheddar. It was very good for anyone that makes their own cheese grits around fried fish.

Tonight we’ll be grilling cheeseburgers and hotdogs. Hot as it is we will go with chips instead French fries with barbecue baked beans for sides.

We’ve gotten just enough rain that mixed with the dang Bahia grass it’s time to cut the grass again. Ice cold longnecks and chilled wine will be appreciated behind yard work today.

Take out from Mi Mexico today. Chiles Poblano with rice and beans and a big container of their salsa!

I boiled some eggs last night so egg salad tomorrow!

 

Another hot and humid day lends to a lighter supper works better. I’ll be grilling wings and we’ll have a cold tray awaiting inside to go with.

Afternoon ice cold longnecks and chilled wine will work well again today.

In describing the current weather conditions, I've transitioned from using the adjective "Oppressive" to "Brutal".

That said......indeed Life is Good in Gator Nation!

Food content - the egg salad was very good for lunch today!

 

Oppressive to Brutal....

I walked out the front door this morning at daylight:30 to the mailbox to get the morning paper and when I got back to the front door sweat was running off the crack of my arse.....

 

LOL......

 

This afternoon I’ve started something a lil’ new to me but I think it’s going to smoke very similarly to beef plate ribs. Ms. Jan came home from the grocery store with a family size tray of boneless beef spare ribs—I read what Franklin’s had to say about smoking them and basically I’ll be following my beef plate ribs recipe.
Sides will be baked potatoes (choice/Idaho or sweet) and a freshly made Romaine salad topped off with vine ripe tomatoes.

Plenty of hot outside work today so the ice cold longnecks and chilled wine will be greatly appreciated.

I know that this cut of beef has that membrane through it that can make it tough. @GatorLurker I’m confident that smoking it kinda low and slow (250*-265*/6hrs+) should render tender beef for supper.

I’ll let y’all know.
