What's for dinner?

**Corky** · 06-15-2012, 09:40 PM

Baby backs and salad. These are almost done. Rubbed with Slap Yo' Daddy Meat Rub and smoked with Pecan wood. Glazed half with Blues Hog Tennessee Red sauce, the other half just got an apple juice spritz for the kids and Lisa.

**jonjd** · 06-15-2012, 09:48 PM

Well done Bert. Sounds like a great regime you have there. The meal also sounds delicious.

**hueytaxi** · 06-16-2012, 01:32 AM

I'm going to do the other half of that last slab of ribs. Again I will smoke with apple and cherry wood while slow grilling over indirect heat.

**toadhunter911** · 06-16-2012, 06:29 PM

Chicken wings for my wife and MIL, fresh brats in an Oberon hot tub for me...

**Porcelain God** · 06-16-2012, 07:32 PM

Chicken Shawarma. So very yummy.

**Corky** · 06-16-2012, 11:03 PM

Red Robin tonight!

**hueytaxi** · 06-17-2012, 01:16 AM

Team Mom bought chicken breasts, tenders and legs for later today. I cleaned and marinated them and tonight my SIL decided, he wanted to cook. I didn't argue since I ran out of LP this evening (even though I have never enjoyed his grill cooking, I can always eat on the way home). Marinade was a simple chicken broth, poultry seasoning, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, cilantro, sage, celery seed and a hint of cinnamon.

Not so much for dinner. My church is doing a concert and BBQ this weekend. Cooking butts for pulled pork sammiches during the week.

**fyrftrjim** · 06-18-2012, 04:00 PM

Cooked Roast Beef, mashed potatoes, corn and dinner rolls, for my dad on Father's Day, tonight will grab something on the way to the ballpark.

**toadhunter911** · 06-19-2012, 03:58 PM

The first of the butts have been on the Chargriller since 7:15am...

**Corky** · 06-25-2012, 05:07 PM

Dandy lookin' butts!

Baby Backs tonight. Slap Yo' Daddy Meat Rub and mustard.

**Corky** · 06-25-2012, 08:44 PM

These babies are just about done.

**Porcelain God** · 06-25-2012, 09:12 PM

Goulash, basically mac & cheese with some creative substitutes.

**hueytaxi** · 06-26-2012, 01:57 AM

Roasted a pair of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a package of herb flavored fettucini.

**fyrftrjim** · 06-26-2012, 12:08 PM

Lasagnalast night's dinner, tonight gonna grab something before the game, if there is a game.

**toadhunter911** · 06-26-2012, 04:35 PM

Last night I threw together a Tuscan style pasta dish. Browned up some chunks of thick cut bacon, added some minced garlic, a bunch of halved cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cooked till heated and the tomatoes started to pop, and added a can of canalinni beans. Cooked up some Dreamfields penne and added it to the pan, then splashed some white balsamic vinegar into the pan, added a big handful or two of rough chopped baby spinach and some chopped fresh basil. Finished with a little olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Very nice dish. wish I took a picture.

^^^ That sounds soooo good.

I don't know what's the matter with me.
Lately I don't feel like cooking at all, and when I do surrender and cook, I know it's not really anything more than ordinary.

We all get into those ruts Sue. I've been doing alot of "mass" cooking lately (cooked a southern fried chicken dinner with red beans and rice, greens, and green beans for 40 last Friday, and BBQ'd 16 whole pork butts that made pulled pork for a church BBQ Saturday that served 200). Haven't felt much like cooking the last few weeks, but that kinda jumpstarted me.

Picked up two 3 piece Popeye's chicken dinners and some McDonald's fries on the way home. First time for both of us with Popeyes. I'll go back!

**fyrftrjim** · 06-28-2012, 08:05 AM

Ballpark food last night, Perkin's on tonight's menu on the way to Clearwater.

**hueytaxi** · 06-30-2012, 05:53 PM

Pot of marinara sauce on the stove to go with spaghetti and a few meatballs. Sauce has ground chuck and Jimmy dean sausage. Tried to find a local carry out for this and none close.

**toadhunter911** · 06-30-2012, 08:41 PM

Toarmina's pizza, salad, and cheezy bread.

**Porcelain God** · 06-30-2012, 09:19 PM

Red curry with chicken, pea pods, mushrooms, broccoli, and carrots(?). Good curry but the wontons with the sweet sauce combined with the spicy curry sauce were by far the best part of the meal.

**Corky** · 07-04-2012, 09:03 PM

Almost done! ABTs - all stuffed with my special cream cheese seasoning blend. 2 for Brooke with no meat. 4 with shrimp, wrapped in bacon. 4 with bacon inside and wrapped with bacon. Baby back ribs just got a glaze of Blues Hog Tennessee Red, chickens down below getting basted by the ribs, beans down there too. Chicken has Oak Ridge Secret Weapon Pork and Chicken rub.

Here is where we started the day!

Yooper was in town . . .

**hueytaxi** · 07-04-2012, 09:12 PM

Corky when are you Catering a MTS event?

**fyrftrjim** · 07-11-2012, 10:55 AM

NY Strip Steak, twice baked potatoes, and corn, also made bacon wrapped jalepano poppers. Tonight will be spaghetti with meatballs and sausage.

**smr-nj** · 07-11-2012, 12:26 PM

I made a pizza last night - found a local place that makes the pizza dough (I hate making it at home), so all I had to do was pull it and roll it out.
I topped it with some marinara sauce, thinly slice zucchini and plum tomatoes (used my mandolin slicer), fresh basil, and shredded mozzarella and grated cheese.

It came out perfect... much better than my first attempt a few weeks ago, where the dough wasn't thin enough.

**fyrftrjim** · 07-12-2012, 06:27 PM

Leftover spaghetti and sausage tonight.

**toadhunter911** · 07-12-2012, 08:23 PM

Big, beautiful, juicy chuck eye steaks reverse seared on the gasser, with roasted red skins and sweet corn on the cob.

**wingedwheel** · 07-12-2012, 10:11 PM

Homemade pizza and calzone.

**hueytaxi** · 07-12-2012, 10:23 PM

Wings and onion rings!

**hueytaxi** · 07-12-2012, 10:30 PM

Saw an ad for a product called "Flamedisk" which can be used in place of charcoal or even in a gas grill. Uses ethanol much like a giant thin can of sterno. I can't imagine using it under any fatty foods like steak or burgers.
