working twelve hour shifts...yesterday and today..... eating out of my lunch box.......

The neighbor is putting on a huge gala tomorrow. I will be available to attend after an 8 hour day. Lots of boats anchored out back. More boats will show up tomorrow and the pier will be busy unloading guests. Maryland 4th of July. The barbecue will be smoking a whole pig. It should be fun.

[benzer]

I've recently ground some chuck roast and turned it in to quarter pounder burgers ready for the grill.

Everyone enjoy the holiday and stay safe and win some race wagers.

Are we talkin' Jessica Pacheco flat ... or Kelly Ripa flat ? I imagined a wardrobe malfunction involving Miss Ripa when they came down the stretch at Belmont today ... Flat Out.



That's all I got. Now to repair to Thoracic Park for a game of chest.

That recipe looks good,but how do you bruise a garlic?
Break the clove into individual pieces. Remove the outer papery skin so you have just the meat. Rub between the hands, firmly. Or, if you don't like the smell on your hands, place on a flat surface (cutting board) then with the flat part of a knife or some other tool, give it a good thwacking. Don't use the knife as a hammer but instead rest it on the top of the clove then with the other hand, thump it.

You want to expose the inner goodness of the fruit by releasing the juices but not mince it. Afterwards, the pieces can be removed from the dish.

Mack, that song is no gimmy. if you can play that one,,,,,,, good on ya!:ThmbUp:

Crawfish and andouille stuffed pork chops.
That's right, spicy pork sausage stuffed into a pork chop...i may just wrap 'em in bacon if i so please...it's AMERICA baby!
Hot dogs for the young 'uns...gotta have hot dogs...is that pork, too?
Nobody really knows....
Someone is bringing boudin (boo-dan), but i ain't going near it (more pork). It's pig intestine stuffed with whatever...no thanks. At least it's not what's normally in a pig's intestine :)

The ladies will crank out some nice come-alongs (hors d'ouvres is so darned French and this is the 4th of July, so they're called come-alongs this wknd).

I usually drink wine or Heineken, but this wknd i'm drinking some good ole' American Miller High Life darnit. Ain't the finest brew but slides down very easy and it just looks right in my hand while standing next to the pit.

Today is strictly for horse playing though...too bad the Bel card isn't too good.
Have a happy 4th y'all.

Bruise really means crush. What I do - actually I pretty much always do this when workng with garlic - is crush with a spoon prior to peeling. It makes peeling it very easy and releases the oils in the garlic. That is what you are trying to accomplish when putting the garlic into the buttermilk marinade.

[Shemp Howard]

Same as it ever was.

Hot dogs, baked beans, corn on the cob.

Strawberry shortcakes for desert.

Old Overholt rye whisky and Rolling Rock ponie bottle beer chasers all day.

Fireworks at dusk.

OK. Stopped at the store on the way home for buttermilk and a larger bottle of Tabasco. The pieces of chicky is soakin' up all that peppery, garlicy, dairy goodness. I don't think I've ever made a recipe with buttermilk before.

Happy and a safe 4th to all!

BAM!

Between the BBQ chicken and ribs and the homemade fireworks, it was quite an evening! A litte cook out rule of thumb for everyone, always throw a little extra on the grill, as you never know when unexpected guests will show up!

I put the chicken thighs on the grill, fat side down, and went back inside to get the sauce. When I cam back out, the flames had to be 10 feet coming out of the grill! Thank God for the hose! I did have several of the neighbor's guests come running over from their party next door. Most of them were local fireman.

All in all, not a boring evening!
But is did take a chunk out my ICE stash.:p

:lol: :lol: just remember tom....and old saying in cooking 'when there brown there done...when there black YOUR done"
next time let the fire from the lighter fluid burn out before you start cooking :rolleyes:

[ldiatone]

speaking of garlic... i'll peel the cloves and then poach the garlic in a smalll amount of HOH...then chop or crush it so it mellows the garlic out a bit. great when making a "raw" kind of a dish like bruschetta.
