What's for supper?

**badwhale** · 11-17-2013, 05:20 PM

Went all kitchen bitch today:

Roast chicken* with under skin olive oil / soy sauce rub.
Broccoli
Mashed Potatoes

Also made:
Granola
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Quinoa salad
Chicken Soup

*Yes, TGT, I am actually roasting it, not in the microwave. It's damp out today, so it'll make the kitchen nice.

Sounds awesome! I've never made my own granola, but have thought about it. A couple honey and oats bars are my typical weekday breakfast on the run.

My wife is cooking a traditional southern supper tonight.

Country Fried steak with white pepper gravy
Mashed Potatoes
Turnip greens with hot pepper sauce
Great Northern Beans (odd that's a traditional southern thing IMO)
Cornbread

I think I'll be needing a nap after dinner.

That sounds delicious too.

Here's my granola recipe:

3 Cups Oats
1/2 cup Pecans
1/2 Cup Almonds
1/2 Cup Walnuts
1/2 Cup Wheat Germ
1/2 Cup Ground Coconut
1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds
1 Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

Mix it all together, put it on an ungreased pan, evenly. Bake at 325 for 20min. In the last 5 min, start mixing it on the pan as it cooks out, or you get your desired "brownness" I'll admit, this part is slightly a pain in the ass, but you'll get the hang of it.

I will definitely try that, thanks. I like all of those ingredients.

Dinner was delicious of course. A lot of dishes to clean, but worth it.

Me and a friend needed some dinner before the Black Sabbath show last night. This seemed fitting.

Making puffed pastry wrapped fish fillets today and bylenes (potato pancakes)

This constitutes our fancy schmancy Christmas Eve dinner.

**kevin7** · 12-24-2013, 06:38 PM

Hormel snack tray and adult refreshments

**badwhale** · 12-25-2013, 07:48 PM

Today:

Under skin rubbed MICROWAVED turkey breast
Red Cabbage
Brussels Sprouts
Mashed Rutabaga
Veggie Tray

Leftover puffed pastry fish / shrimp tray / potato pancakes.

And, I too am well on my way with adult beverages.

ETA: Oh yeah, we made some chocolate chip cookies last night for Santa. That mofo reportedly (ala wifey) left crumbs all over the place.

Grilled pork chops. That's right, grilled pork chops in February. It was sooooo nice out today, we spent the whole afternoon in the yard. Albeit, a 10" packed yard of snow.

Wifey said "Grill?" and I said "Hellz yeah"

**kingbeefy** · 02-22-2014, 04:45 PM

I will be grilling some chicken tonight as well as smoking something and drinking something. I'll report back with more details later as they become clearer, or foggier, depends on the drink I guess.

**kingbeefy** · 02-22-2014, 08:22 PM

I decided to stop by the store and pick up some onions and peppers and fajita the shit out of this chicken.

Marinadin' in some Modelo, onions, peppers, and seasonings.

Grilling on the Webber Kettle.

**badwhale** · 03-09-2014, 07:36 PM

Randomly made a spiral ham tonight with glaze (read: Had one still from 2013)
Made some steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Added some baked spaghetti, and Italian bread.

Yeah, it was a hodgepodge, but I invited my parents over, and good lively conversation was had by all.

That looked killer, BTW.

Fired up the grill this past week myself. Still below freezing the first couple times but we went above freezing a couple days ago and it's been staying there so I grilled Sat and Sun. Heck, it was so nice yesterday I was able to sit on my deck in the sun and have a cigar........in my T-Shirt!

Did up some very good pork chops on Saturday (they're a favorite of my wife) and yesterday was BBQ chicken breasts (bone in - I find they cook better) with Mashed potatoes and some steamed Asparagus.

I pulled out an elk meat pie for supper tonight MMMmmmm :P

Not dinner, but I made these tonight. My first attempt at confectioning. Um, they'll taste good, but I have a long way to go on my presentation.

For dinner I grilled chicken thighs, and asparagus. Heated up some baked beans to go with it.

Making some potato leek soup today, and preparing a whole bunch of ribs for smoking tomorrow.

This will be my first attempt smoking ribs. I have about 3 sets of babybacks, and I have 2 sets? is it sets? of full ribs, that I intend to cut St. Louis style. I have my standard "Oh Yeah" sauce I expect to be using, but I'd also like to try a mustard based sauce. I'll probably use cherry wood for smoking.

Wish me luck.

Let me check with the judges...

Okay, it's actually "racks", but we'll accept "sets".
