I am glad that I cooked my evening meal, before I saw that video clip.

Someone in my neighborhood was cooking BBQ chicken, outside.
The scent of crispy browned chicken skin was on the air.
I salute the person attending to the BBQ grill.

I went for chickpeas, to soothe the taste memory.
The dish I made was too virtuous.

rough smoosh Chickpeas
butter used to
saute carrots
saute zuchini
brown sushi rice
(not smooshy)
thyme
white pepper
smoked salt
wholemeal bread crumbs soaked in goat milk
two eggs

form loaf
top with fine wholemeal crumbs

bake 45 minutes
350f oven

sauce
mushroom with jus
(and Wur ster sheer sauce)

Don't you mean "What's-This-Here" sauce?
 
Everyone's weekend should end like this:

Complimented with red wine, roasted potatoes and summer squash.
 
The Neverending Weekend Story would have been a much better title.

I cooked the strip steak directly on the glowing lump charcoal yesterday. Too busy for photos. But it was damn good.

And good today, for breakfast hash.

Yum! We did rib eyes last night...those were delicious!
 
I've been bulk shopping the past 2 years or so. It's good for the budget.Put frozen foods in a freezer beside the fridge.

Most times I cook my own food. I write down necessities as they get low. I keep a running list of healthy stuff I should eat. Most times I let everything get low or start to run out before I go to the grocery store again. Days off, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking and doing dishes. For my dogs, I never let their food run low and they get plenty of rawhides and doggie toys.
 
Spicy chicken and veggie tacos with homemade salsa. They are burning my mouth and absolutely delicious.
 
Emmenthaler and Jarlsberg grilled cheese on marble rye, with steamed veggies. Zucchini does not cost an arm and a leg, right now.

yay
 
The Brits were the first commercial canners. They got the idea from the French.

Because getting green beans out of a champagne bottle was fun, and well the lead solder in early canning probably wasn't the best, but yeah nowadays the most dangerous thing you'll get out of a can is a salmon bone in your throat.

Or incurable salmonella.

Always pack butter, flour, salt, pepper and an onion or two when on a multi-day caribou hunt. Fresh liver and onions is good eats.

Isn't that like bringing a lemon along on a fishing trip? Pretty much guaranteed skunk!

Ugh I need to get camping soon, 1st night is always frozen steaks with butter sauteed wild mushrooms over a wood fire.

I kept meaning to try that technique but I haven't. Now I no longer have my continuous supply of oak palletes.

If the salmon bone is cooked properly, it will just be a nice crunchy. And, extra calcium.
 
If you plant a rose, you can put a fish or a banana peel in the hole and it's a good thing for the rose. That's what my grandfather used to do. He grew marvelous roses. :)
 
Tonight we did cedar plank salmon, on the grill.

We had an extra soaked plank, so I halved a couple pears and scooped out the seeds.
I let them bathe a bit in some rye whiskey and honey, then spooned some blue cheese crumbles in the scoop cavity, wrapped the halves in a wide slice of prosciutto, then set them on the cedar plank, on the grill, for about 15 - 20 minutes.

Served them in small bowls, with a wee drizzle of honey and a spoon of vanilla ice cream.

DEE-LICK-CIOUS!
 
Actually, it's bananas....

The banana thing is....low hanging fruit.
Yeah I'm the guy that throws bananas into boats as soon as the shotgun goes off during King tourney's.

When I was a kid, I had a neighbour that was a carp FIEND. Every carp, any time of day, he'd take it. He was Jewish, so somehow in my befuddled adolescent brain I was like "Oh Jews like carp, I'll catch more then..."

I'd hand him a 20lb carp, and he'd hand me a bag of tomatoes, with instructions to give them to my mum. That went on for 4yrs or so, before his wife told me to stop. He buried the carp in the garden, apparently it made his Roma tomatoes bloom like never before.

The banana thing is actually total bullshit, but too many people believe it.

I used to catch tomcod off the ferry dock in Seward and give them to tourists. Just used a commercial jig and I helped to fill many coolers, and never smell like fish.

The lemon thing though, is totally quantifiable, lol.

Seriously, I can grab a train to drop me and a canoe off in the middle of the bush, paddling through the best pike, walleye and brook trout rivers and lakes....

....but bring a lemon along, and you'll get the tail end of hurricanes, cold funnels masquerading as tornadoes, and the occasional black bear eating two weeks of your food. On Day Two.
 
Aww, fuck it. I am pretending that winter is coming. My toes and fingers have been chilled for days. Wet and cold, is not part of June! grrrrrr

*eats roasted cauliflower with Jarlsberg and Emmental, and chocolate almond torte*
