Whatcha Cooking This Weekend???

I did get a couple bites of this on Sunday before my boys devoured it. Rubbed in Famous Dave's and cooked over charcoal and hickory.

 

Chicken dont get much better than that

 

WOW

 

Getting ready for potluck tomorrow. Borscht and buns! Trying to keep Campinspecter out it until tomorrow is going to be a challenge.





Might try Hot Cross buns later today.

 

Tonight I'm going to do a 5 lb chicken on the rotisserie in the gasser. Little olive oil and sage inside. I'm bummed that my rosemary bush didn't make it through the winter. A rotisserie is the absolute best accessory for a gas grill.

 

Cooking nothing this weekend. Working. I am lucky enough that everyone but me is cooking! I just get to eat it.

 

My friend raised some heirloom pigs, I forget the breed, I bought a half of one and we just got him back from the butcher yesterday

We had a fresh ham, rubbed with paprika, cumin, coriander and garlic then glazed with maple Dijon. Sorry no pictures, I'm not gettin off the couch, plus the bones aren't that pretty.

 

Smoked a 8 lb precooked fresh ham from a local butcher. Smoked at 200 deg for about 5 hours with apple wood until the ham was at 140 deg. At 120 deg, I started glazing using basod's method as a base-puree pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup real maple syrup and added in 1 tablespoon brown mustard. Heavily basted 3 times in last 30 minutes for glaze. Pic is when I added cherries and pineapple rings after 1st glazing. This came out fantastic !!

The cherries were like candy when done

 

Rib Eye steaks ,Shrimp and twice baked spuds

 

Mmmmmmm

 

mmmmmmm Rib Eye

 

Mmmmmm. Ham.

 

Left over fish casserole today with pumpkin pie and the last of the hot cross buns for desert. No more hot cross buns until next year.

 

First evening eating on the back screened porch this year. The chicken was pounded, cut into nice chunks, egg dipped and rolled in italian bread crumbs. I pan fried it in olive oil. Served over mezze penne with a creamy alfredo sauce. A nice chilled glass of moscato wine to wash it down.

 

Not cooking today. Good time with family. Who can tell me where we are eating?

 

Peanuts and buns.

 

That's what they put out to start you with. Good size chain restaurant.

 

Man that looks good fishin!

 

That be Texas Roadhouse. Know them peanut buckets, rolls and steak knives anywhere. Good food for a chain restaurant.

I went there last Wednesday for my birthday. Got the 11oz sirloin on the wed special at 9.99. Best deal in town on a good steak
I left the coupon they sent me for my birthday at work and missed out on a free appetizer but I think its good for a few weeks though-I may have to go back
