What is on the menu this weekend?
Our team decided to take a break this weekend from competitions and spend much needed time at home for a weekend for a change. Of course, I will be practicing at least one category this weekend for next weeks comp. (pork ribs). We usually are in the top 20% at every comp on ribs (walked a number of times), but last weekend didn't do nearly as well as we usually do (low on presentation points-had 8's and 9's on taste). I will make most of the items below on my Eggs, but might fire up my Smokey Joe (love the little guy) for the abt's. He needs some love.
Menu:
Friday
Steak and chicken fajitas (marinating with some love in the fridge overnight) grilling on the Egg with my GrillGrates (love them). Making some homemade refried beans, Mexican rice, homemade flour tortillas, bell peppers (red, orange, green), onions, fresh guacamole and other condiments.
Saturday
Spare ribs and Teriyaki chicken (what a combo! ha), abt's, tator tots, some veggies, and homemade banana pudding.
Sunday
Dino bones, mashed potatoes, homemade mac n cheese.
What are you grilling and/or smoking this weekend?

Chicken, shrimp, scallops, and cod.. Not necessarily in that order

Just finished up my new table, so I will be installing the egg in it and taking it out for her maiden voyage of hot wings tonight.
Tomorrow would be tequila marinated chicken for soft tacos and then probably some abts or pig shots to take to the old man's birthday on Sunday.
And copious amounts of beers and football.

Tonight we didn't fire up the egg. Had to replace a wiper fluid pump on the X3, then put a hard start capacitor on the AC (running on the generator for a week revealed the AC is really starting slow).
SWMBO cooked up a super delicious chicken breast, pounded flat, wrapped with fresh spinach, garlic, onion, cheese with an Alfredo sauce and spinach linguini.
Dunno what we'll do tomorrow....

Yesterday I made a big pot of gazpacho (almost live on the stuff this time of year) but I was curious to try a "crabless crabcake", made with zucchini and Old Bay, that someone had posted on another thread, so whipped up a batch to grill a couple to go with the gazpacho.Hmm. The recipe turned out really wet, couldn't form them into patties. I poured two patties onto Saran Wrap and set them in the freezer, thinking after they firmed up a bit I could just plop them on the grill and pull off the wrap.Well, as I looked at it, I could just see the Saran Wrap touching the grill and sticking/burning, so I tried lifting the patties with my fingers to throw them on, it was like picking up pancake batter!They stuck and burned a bit, but were still pretty tasty. I'll be making them again but only using half as many eggs._____________

Just cooked some beer brats. Grabbed some homemade cheddar brats from my local butcher. Threw them in a bath of Great Lakes Brewing Burning River.
Don't know why I eat brats any other way!

Pizza last night. Deep dish and Round Detroit Style. Two of my Brothers owned a Pizza shop called Como's Pizza. From 1968 until 2003 they made one of the best pizzas in the Metro Detroit area. They were also famous for their BBQ ribs and Broasted chicken. Anyway my square pizza is inspired by Billy and Jimmy from the old days on Warren Avenue. I made two 14" round and two large deep dish pies.Simple ingredients, amazing results!

Leftovers. Lots of leftovers for the wok. Leftover skirt steak. Leftover Sarah/rosemary mushrooms. Farmers’ market this morning provided fresh heirloom tomatoes and scallions. Add some home grown basil and a few other things. Fried rice may be the most humble dish on the planet and among the most challenging. Every one is different, like a piece of art. +1 for the Joyce Chin bamboo wok tools from Amazon. I had been using steel and they worked fine but scratched the seasoning. Bamboo doesn’t scratch and allows scraping those wonderful little burned bits up. Every wok cook from now on will just improve the finish. My other fried rice attempts have ranged from good to total failure. This time I nailed it. It’s the first rice dish I’ve shared with my Filipino neighbors. They know their way around a bowl of rice and they LOVED it. Another entree on the “company menu”.\ Happy grillin’ bobMy actuary says I'm dead.
