    thanks bill for the tuna recipe. i plated the tuna on a bed of twice whipped potatoes and an authentic spinach caesar salad. had fresh strawberries with sweet sour cream and red wine sauce for desert. oooops can't forget the '02 robert pecota cabernet.

    your recipe is a keeper.

    Morning young William. Looks like you were busy last night! You are always terrifying Merry and her pets arn't you! :) That looks great. How you like the spuds? Kind of hard to go back to regular ones now! The bugs and crab legs were great. Alittle cool on the run back but not to bad. Rode up town and listened to a partner play last night so late getting to bed and up earlyish for church. I hate mornings. Think I may Egg some'en this afternoon if time. Them young'un like the grub?

    Gotta love those Penzey spices. I have never tried the lamb spice, but have used the "Prime Rib Rub" as all around beef seasoning. They are top notch for sure. I recieved a gift box of Penzey's stuff years ago and have been wanting to order more ever since.

    tom, the planks were from wegmans and as you might expect there are less expensive sources. once it starts raining i will come in from the garden and order from here

    they were wegmans lamb racks and very good. they smelled like fresh lamb when i opened them not at all 'gamey'

    i did the spuds direct on soaked planks at 350° give or take. put them in the oven to keep warm and put on the lamb and raised to 375° i opened the dome a lot to turn and move around the hot spots. probably 15-20 minutes, but i checked them every 5. i pulled about 140 measured in the center , the thin end was hotter and the thick a bit cooler. not a cheap meal but i like to cook "fancy' if both my sons are home.

    it really was perfect. the boys prefer a bit less char, but there were no left overs!
    the combination of sweet and idahos with a hint of garlic on the cedar really went well with the lamb.

    i was busy and i do enjoy tormenting livestock which is how i earned this

    i put it on when i 'egg' boys think i am nuts.
    spuds were great i am going to order some different planks today. want to get some bigger ones and use them like serving plates. plan to sear some filet mignon and finish it on the plank with the spuds 'piped' around from a pastry bag in some sort of design. kind of like chateaubriand.
