What's Cooking?

Some of my favorite smoked meat places were dumps/dives.  One was a mechanics shop except for Sunday he fired up the smoker, but he saved one side of the piece of plywood he rebuilt stuff on to flip over so he could cut up the meat.  I would go broke trying to compete in BBQ but I would be fat and happy, and probably slightly intoxicated by end of each day.

  Chief,

Remember after you skin and gut those baby possums you stuff an apple in their mouths before putting them in the smoker

Tonight's dinner; Grilled chicken and shrimp with a sweet chili glaze, garlic zucchini spears with Vidalia onions, butter lettuce and mixed green salad. That was followed with grilled peaches with or without (mine) cream. Really enjoyed that while watching the end of the Indy 500.

Looks tasty and a lot lighter than what I ended up with.  Had a nice big pork loin, after trimming and cleaning it up, make 12 nice thick boneless chops.  Seasoned them and put in the bottom of a glass casserole dish, and my wife made her mom's stuffing/dressing and we covered the chops up.  Into the 350 for about.an hour and a half.  Sautéed some thin sliced parsnips and carrots with seasonings, butter and saved bacon grease, and some "salad in a box".  Was dang good even if I did get a little heavy handed with the cajun seasoning.  Nap sounds real good right now.

Thank you. My niece says these are her favorite of all the things I fix.

Hmm those burgers sound interesting.  Did anyone else notice that knife on the cuthing board in the picture on that link, that knife looks like it has been sharpened a few times.

Here is the first real meal to test out my gall bladderless lifestyle. Chicken picatta, zucchini with dill, and carrots with sweet potatoes with a little honey and cinnamon. The vegetables were put in foil packs and grilled. The chicken was done on the stove. Tried to use as little oil as possible. Hear that too much fat in my diet from this point on will lead to some serious GI distress. Didn't realize that my diabetes diagnosis in Jan would lead to a lifestyle change that was prepping me for this next stage in a more fat free and carb controlled diet.
