I just got back from the store after cleaning out the BGE and poured my 1st screwdriver. I'm ready for battle!

I'm making AZRP's "The Chicken" recipe (from the Naked Whiz site)  for a late lunch today. I can't wait to try it. 

Tomorrow I'm trying a semi turbo pork butt. After I get back from poker tonight I'll rub in mustard and Dizzy Dust.

I live for weekends and cooking on the Egg! 

Cheers!

    I'm going to make the crab imperial in one large casserole dish and serve as an appetizer. Never made this recipe before.


    Crab Imperial
    This spicy crab casserole is a specialty of Sting-Ray's in Cape Charles, Virginia. This recipe first appeared in our March 2012 issue, with Jane and Michel Stern's piece Surf and Turf.

    SERVES 6

    INGREDIENTS
    8 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
    3 tbsp. flour
    2 cups heavy cream
    1 lb. jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shell pieces
    1 cup panko bread crumbs
    1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
    1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
    1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
    2 tbsp. sherry
    2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
    1 1/2 tsp. worcestershire
    1 tsp. paprika
    1 tsp. dry mustard powder
    1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    Toasted, sliced country bread, for serving

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Heat oven to 400°. Heat 5 tbsp. butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in cream, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crabmeat, half the bread crumbs, bell pepper, onion, half the parsley, sherry, juice, Worcestershire, half the paprika, mustard, cayenne, and salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly among 6 shallow 6-oz. ramekins; place ramekins on a baking sheet and set aside.

    2. In a small bowl, mix remaining butter, bread crumbs, and paprika until evenly combined; sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs evenly over each ramekin. Bake until lightly browned and bubbling in the center, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve hot with toast on the side.

    I gained two pounds reading the recipe, Granny.  Day-um !  That looks good !  My wife is allergic to shellfish, so I don't know if I will make it, but would love to.

    I cut the calories by serving it as an appetizer instead of a meal and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you ever have any left over fish you could substitute for the crab but it would have to be precooked fish. ;;)

    4 pounds of spare ribs, I have not cooked them in many years and these looked great. Also found some fresh early yellow corn from Fla.

    I had a soon to be expiring Groupon, so I cheated today and went to Texas Pride BBQ in Adkins, Texas.

    Tomorrow, I'm having a bunch of family over, so I'm making 4 racks of ribs (pork loin back), split chicken breast, spicy ginger teriyaki wings, sausage and roasted corn.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    My "The Chicken" I cooked earlier was interesting. The chicken dusted in flour looked and smelled awesome coming off the egg. Dunking it in the sauce and wrapping them in foil made the skin soft but the meat was moist and soaked up the sauce.

    I did Thai grilled beef salad last night, using the egg to cook the steak to rare with heavy smoke.  That turned out amazing.

    Today I have a Chuck Roast on the grill.  I rubbed with a thin coat of mustard then a heavy coating of "Willys number one-derful" rub from the Smoke and Spice cookbook, then topped that rub with Cowboy rub which is spicy and pungent.  I'm sitting here now with an oatmeal stout and my maverick reading 234 grill temp, 140 meat temp.  It's nice enough to be outside in a t shirt and thats exactly what I'm doing.

    On a side note, I made an awesome bucket out of a 5 liter mini keg of Rogue Yellow Snow IPA that I had last weekend.  It was a fun project to do outside today in the nice weather. I don't always soak wood chunks or chips, but when I do I always use a kitchen bowl, now I have a special bucket to use.
