Thank you, I asked my in-house cook if she was interested. Guess I need to convince more or just go buy one and start cooking again myself.

Thanks for reminding me what you use. I will look around.

As I sit in the library typing, I smell this wonderful smell.... BACON. It appears we will have Corn Chowder tonight for dinner, the pot is on the stove and the bacon was just browned up to add to the mix. Sweet corn from our local farm stand a few miles from the house, always a good dinner choice. The evenings are cooling off.

I hope you guys/gals took advantage of the CHEAP Kingsford charcoal deals at Lowe's and Home Depot for Labor Day. I didn't buy 440 pounds this time (yes, I fit it in my MINI).

I am brining a whole chicken tonight, to cook on the Weber Kettle rotisserie on Labor Day. Charcoal and Pecan is what I'm thinking. I'm thinking some chicken gumbo for the leftovers.

Sooooooo, whatcha eat for Labor Day? It was rotisserie chicken at the dog house.

I made a brine yesterday with a gallon of water, 1/2 cup Kosher Salt, 1/2 cup Turbinado Sugar, and a handful of Rosemary from the garden. I let the bird soak in it overnight, then let the skin dry out for a few hours in the fridge.

I set up the Weber Kettle with the rotisserie kit, and let my bird cook for about 1 hour 15 minutes. I put a few chunks of Hickory on top of the charcoal for some smoke.

Tender and juicy, as always, and just a hint of smoke and rosemary.

I trust those were good-looking lamb chops. We'll never know. :frown2:

Obviously, they tasted good.

I think Scallops and Grits might be a great combo for a late breakfast. Nice going MM.

I was in the mood for a burger, and wanted a good one, so I made it myself. Just for the fun of it, I sous vide the ground chuck patty to medium, then charred it on some smoking hot cast iron. I added some REAL American cheese, not individually wrapped American "cheese product." Fresh lettuce, red onion, tomato and mayo on both sides of the sesame seed bun.

I think Samuel L. Jackson would agree, it was a "tasty burger."

Sorry, no pictures. But, you know what a burger looks like.

Been on a tofu kick lately. Last night used it in a Korean stir fry recipe. Tonight will be cooking some up with yellow curry and some cauliflower. Searching the interwebs as we speak for some more recipes. So far I've found that I prefer the 'more firm' to the 'soft'. Stuff is kinda tasteless by itself but seasoned right it's delish. Trying to shed a few pounds before the holidays hit.

 

Tofu is one of a few things I just haven't developed a taste for. More accurately, a mouth feel for. Like sushi, I've tried tofu several ways, and it just doesn't click with me.

My new favorite salad:
Pick the greens of your choice (on the milder side works best).
Top with Pulled Smoked Chicken, Bacon and shredded Cheese.
Then mix 2:1 Ranch and a thin BBQ sauce.For the dressing.

 

Yum!! I no longer have a better half, but I am happy to taste test your chili anytime!!
