What's Cooking?

             Happy Fathers day Chefs,

  Yesterday it was walleye, Jalapeno potato salad and bean greens.

    Today it was just me and the Mrs. She asks what do you want. How about duck? Sounds like a plan So it was grilled wood duck and a caprese salad. Iced tea with mint from the garden,

Well for no good reason I decided to go all "hoity toity" tonight.  Wife had found some small tuna steaks, sometimes you don't ask where when you live in a small town in missouri, and had also been to Gordons Orchard and brought back some peaches, blue berries and blackberries.  Unable steaks went onto the grill to sear but not over cook, then for my amusement I split a couple peaches and put them on the grill also.  While things were happening there I decided to up the ante.  Into a tiny little skillet went a large amount of butter, some capers, dill, lemon and garlic, let it all brown up and darn it smells good.  Also mashed up a handfull of blue berries added a small amount of coca cola and some Chicago old town spiced sugar.  Spooned than into the center of the grilled peaches.  Stood back and watched the feeding frenzy.  I should add that my wife did contribute by opening a bag of salad and reheating a few slices of grilled zuchini from last night.  And for clarity I must admit that there was a cooking show on TV making some odd items. It was poor planning on my part that I don't have any major items I want to buy to spring on wifey at this point.

You betcha! I elevated it from ‘sucks a lot’ to just ‘sucks’.

Years ago I used to buy the cheap frozen pizza for like 99 cents, a roll of sumer sausage, some black olives and cheese.  Made some pretty dang good pizzas that way.  Well at least I thought so, washed them down with Milwaukees Best Light Beer.

I did the same, except for the beer. Cheese, mushrooms, olives, brown and serve sausage, whatever was on hand.

Nothing fancy tonight, plain old country goodness.  Zuchini did their normal we are all ready to pick thing, so my wife picked I think a dozen this morning.  Side note if you live close to me, lock  your car doors or risk finding some in your passenget seat.  Split 2 of them lengthwise and hollowed them out, then peeled all but one because my wife likes the skin on them.  Painted the with garlic and butter and put on the grill with open side down, marked them up nice and about half cooked.  Turned them over, painted them again, and began to layer in provolone cheese, chopped bacon, chopped turkey and more provolone.  Closed the lid for a few minutes to melt the cheese.  Mmmmmmm good, didnt last long enough to take a photo.
