What's For Dinner?

The beans. They were OK. Simmered for almost as long as brisket was on. Perhaps 11 hours. Still a bit tough. Navy beans. Small can of tomato paste. Oh yeah, a couple strips of the MIL's low salt bacon added in. Couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. They tasted better with a little Sauer's spicy bbq sauce, which I got from the wife's cousin.

Burgers and dogs here.....

 

Philly cheese steak at the airport today.

This was a small rib eye. When I have a more worthy piece I will post a shot.

Your comment reminded me I have a weber tray for small items/seafood, so I found and pulled that out. It might have helped some too if I'd cleaned and oiled the grate...lol. Thanks for the idea.

 

That's something I'm looking for here. The restaurant in the U.S. Id get them at has taken them off their menu. A restaurant here calls it a Philly Cheesesteak but uses pot roast for meat. I'm going to make my own.

 

Nice!

 

I have one of those rib racks and have found that baby racks with any meat on them at all get stuck. Spares fit in but they flop over so I can only use 2 of 4 slots.... LOL. Maybe it's time for a new one? LOL

 

Definitely, post it!

Yeah, to oil the grates or not, it's like an F1 vs manual debate! Some people swear by it. Some folks swear at it. 😀 Definitely cleaning carbonized gunk off the grate helps reduce sticking. But, I think a solid griddle helps a better crust form & this easier release...T

 

Pot roast? Oh my. I think all the top places in Philly use thinly sliced rib eye. If that's the best you can get in your neighborhood, you have to do your own. I curb my urge until I am in Philly area. I like Pat's. Wife likes Geno's. We do agree on its better with Cheez Whiz...T

 

Homemade chicken and rice soup. This fancy new stove has a viewer with a dinner function. Makes making soup easier. Homemade chicken broth plus a can of broth that was in pantry. Onions, carrots, celery. Spices. Rice. Simmer...T

 

Here is the local restaurant description of "Philly Cheesesteak" on the menu: "Shaved roast beef with sautéed mushrooms, onions and peppers, melted provolone cheese on a toasted garlic baguettini bun with horseradish Dijon aioli" Not really roast beef either. But regardless you can't call it Cheesesteak when its roast beef.

Felt like an old fashioned meal. Not a big fan of pork, except chops and bacon. Did a shake N bake pork chop in the oven. Craft Mac N Cheese with added cheddar to make it taste better.

 

Dang, if I'd known you were doing Shake n Bake, I'd have invited myself over! 😀 It's the only way I can get wife to let me fix pork chops...T

 

Some south carolina bbq baby! Not very happt with the mac and cheese here but the rest was delish. Im in Clemson territory this week.

Do it. So tasty

 

Wow my man that is some good food and drinks.

 

Cleaning out the fridge. Mostly the bottom freezer section. Almost forgot I bought some wild salmon steaks for sandwiches about a month ago. Two left. Salmon sandwiches and tomato soup.

Getting a new fridge by next week. Just need to clean out this one first. My built in dish washer died about two or three years ago. Repair guy said easier to buy a new one over fixing yours. I have a portable one and just been using that. Now with wanting to sell. Time to replace the fridge, oven and dish washer. Hopefully the pool guy can do the liner by the end of the month.

 

That looks like beef? Gotta get yourself some pulled pork. Brunswick stew, is good, too...T

 

Beef brisket. Tomorrow or friday will be pork. Mac and cheese most likely next to it! Gotta get my fix.

 

Not sure if B.C. is a buyer or seller's market, but getting a house ready for sale can be a pain. On our last house, our agent convinced my wife that the house would sell faster if the kitchen was painted a neutral color. My wife doesn't do paint. So, that translated into, your house would sell faster if your husband painted the kitchen a neutral color. 😠 PITA!!

Tonight, grilled pizza. On the gasser. I took Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough. Cut into quarters ('cause I have a small gas grill). Grill the dough 1 minute per side, max heat, ca. 500 F on my little Weber.

Take grilled pizza skin. Thin coat of olive oil. Tomato sauce. Mozz. Toppings. Return to the grill. 10 min. For this step, I use a cooling rack from cookie sheets to put the pizza roughly half inch above the grill surface. Helps it crisp up without burning.


After initial grilling

Anchovies. 😋
Served with prosecco over frozen peaches. Yes, we're drinking champagne out of juice glasses. One week after moving back home, house is still littered with boxes and I have no @&$@*! idea where our champagne flutes or coupes are.
😕

Its a sellers market. Most houses in the lower mainland are now averaging a million dollars. Small one bedroom condos are $500k. Net my area has doubled and even tripled over the last year. Have some painting to do. The outside needs to be done. New roof as well. Turning into a huge project actually.

 

I think it goes without saying that this was awesome.

Slaw on top. Now that's proper Southern que...T

 

Nothing fancy. Rice and beans. Recipe in post # 3365. Wife picked up Dos Equis Amber. I don't always drink beer (nor am I even remotely close to being the World's Most Interesting Man! &#128512 , but when I do, it's Dos Equis. 😉
