Endless Winter Weekend Cooks...

hapster · February 2014

Well our travel plans have been nixed due to the weather expected around here on Sunday into Monday. Hoping the ice they are talking about isn't too bad...

The friend who was going to watch our dogs is still coming over tonight so that sounds like a perfect reason to fire up the egg. I just ordered some Rockwood from Firecraft that I will pick up later this morning after I hit Wegmans and the liquor store.

Not sure of what I'll be cooking tonight, likely some steaks, chicken, and veggies... Also have to figure out what to make the rest of the weekend as well.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

The never ending winter keeps on coming. Stay safe.

AlbertaEgger · February 2014

Good luck. We are getting a damn cold blast right now through the weekend. I'll see -35 or -40's at the house before windchills tomorrow. Your right, this is a never ending winter. I'm getting sick of it. Look forward to some more pics. Stay safe.

Bone chilling here in CT now and looks like its going to stay that way for a while. Snow expected Monday. Nothing too creative on the Egg since I will want to minimize my time outside. Maybe pizza's or a Spatchcock Chicken?

hapster · February 2014

Every time I turn on the news, our snow totals keep going up...

Back from Firecraft earlier, 3 bags of Rockwood and a quart of Pineapple Head

Cold as hell this evening. So for my cooks...

Big pot of chicken stock will be defatted over night on the deck. Not sure if I will be making matzo balls for it or using the stock in something else like some Kale, Potato, and Andouille soup.

Tonight...

Doing some shrimp on the egg, grilling them and then tossing them with some EVOO, lime juice & zest, black olives, and cilantro for a little appy sort of thing.

Chicken breasts for the ladies, and some Certified Angus NY Strips for the menfolk. Doing some sauteed mushrooms for the steaks.

Sauteed spinach with a little garlic, andouille, and white beans for a side.

Picked up some Fat Bastard Cab for wine and a bottle of 10year old Talisker Single Malt for my buddy and I...

Tomorrow for brunch I am going to try and make Emeril's Chicken & Andouille Hash...

Past that, not sure... thinking about trying the Dr. Pepper Pork Butt method with a chuck roast...

Pics to follow in a bit

Skipping a few LOL

Here is the very start with a clean egg... And the latest image, kinda the finish

Tjcoley · March 2014

Right there with you Hap. Hoping the Sunday/Monday crap turns out to have minimal effect in PA. Just got back from Minneapolis and minus 50 degree wind chills. I'm tired of global warming and polar vortexes. Chicago deep dish pizza tomorrow, with the dough in the fridge overnight. Stay warm and keep Egging.

hapster · March 2014

A few more from dinner...

Great meal with a great friend and my family. It don't get much better

The steaks, the shrimp app, and plated.

Tjcoley · March 2014

Making me hungry for a midnight snack.

BckPorchGriln · March 2014

@hapster... I have to say, some of your recent posts are making me want gnaw my fingers off! Those pics are perfect! I'm sure the actual finished product is 100 times better in person. Bravo

Thank you for the nice compliment... And they were pretty tasty

Nice lookin cook. The egg is going to be quiet this weekend. Anniversary party for my inlaws today and birthday party for the kids tomorrow. Wife wants to make some Greek marinated chicken on Sunday night. I might bake it on the egg. I'm ready for winter to be over. I want some warm days to sit on the patio with a stick and some gentleman jack.

hapster · March 2014

Here is today's breakfast, non egged but at least I used some enameled cast iron. First time using coconut oil, like it...

The chicken and andouille hash was really good

Anyone else getting the posting only after approval message? I've tried to post on a few other threads with no luck

hapster · March 2014

Listening to a little spring training baseball this afternoon. Burning a stick and enjoying the weak sun before the next storm moves in...

After that has this morning, none of is really thinking about dinner.

Eggcelsior · March 2014

It's already overcast here. Forecast is now for freezing rain and then 5+ inches of snow. Can't wait!

Yep... Clouds thickening here. Last forecast I saw has us with 8-14" of snow with a little ice. And then a chance of some more later in the week.

hapster · March 2014

Really?

Go home accuweather, you're drunk...

AlbertaEgger · March 2014

Thanks! Not sure about tonight's dinner. The girls are thinking takeout LOL...

Probably going to make a batch of matzo balls to go into the chicken stock I made yesterday. Going to go shopping in the morning, also thinking about trying another deboned stuffed chicken

Eggcelsior · March 2014

Hell yes! Now we are up to 6-12 inches through Monday with record cold near 0*F after. This is looking awesome!

Eggcelsior · March 2014

Yes Sir!

Metalmaker · March 2014

3 below yesterday. Made burgers for supper. 18 below zero right now. Hope it warms up a little before I put some wings on for the race this afternoon.

hapster · March 2014

Back from the store... About to make to make the matzo balls for the soup. Picked up some stuff to stuff the chicken later, I'm again going to try and debone it.

Based on last weeks dessert, I'm going to do the cobbler again except this time going with a mix of berries and a little rum.

Dyal_SC · March 2014

Will you adopt me? Amazing cooks!

hapster · March 2014

Soups on! Now to review the chicken deboning video for the 100th time

hapster · March 2014

I win...

LOL. This one was a lot easier than my first. Watching Jacques about 4 times helped for sure.

Stuffing it with some sautéed spinach and gruyere

hapster · March 2014

Here it is stuffed and tied. Just have to get the egg fired up and stable. Going around 375-400 indirect with pecan for smoke. Once the chicken is done, going to do the mixed berry cobbler.

DMW · March 2014

Wow, looks good, both the soup and the chicken! I would ask if I could visit for supper, but no, can't drive right now. b-(

Thanks! About to have a few cocktails myself...

Had a blowout on the chicken. Covered it in foil and just waiting for the IT to get to 160 to be safe.
