What Are You Having For Dinner

[Mountain trapper]

We got to our next hotel too late to find a decent restaurant that was open (there's only one in this town) so we got pizza to go from the bar. We ate out on the balcony overlooking the ocean with the moon shining on the water.
I just realized that we stayed here almost 25 years ago. Nothing has changed.

I cooked Lina beans and shrimp with rice. Made shrimp stock from the fresh shrimp heads. Put 2 pints of xtra stock in the freezer for future.

Putting some ribs in the crock pot for tonight. I'll make some veg and fruit to go with them

I was thinking about something chicken based. Probably with peppers and tomatoes. Likely some rice also. Still formulating a plan while eating leftover beans. Mayocoba beans with a smoked ham hock, peppers, celery, onions, carrots, and some tomato paste. I thought there might be enough for dinner tonight but my refrigerator was ambushed and they disappeared. I may or may not have been part of the ambush.

Smoked some pork ribs.
Not the best I have done before.
But not the worst either.
Baked potato.

That's a baby pot. You need a proper one.

I've got two eight qrt pots of potato and leek soup simmering on the stove. Bacon gets added to the bowl when eating it. Guess what we are having for dinner?

Or maybe needs a couple of proper pots!

For lunch we're having shrimp cocktails, clam chowder with bay shrimp, grilled shrimp and chips, and blackened rockfish and chips.

My biggest pot holds 30 gal. I have down sized. And.... for those who care, it's squash season! I am going to fill that puppy up with soup for canning and freeze drying. Everyone should have a pot that can double as a bath tub.

I suggested maybe, just for tonight, we eat in. Lady decided to order some sushi. She loves sushi. I don't hate it, but will get some katsu or some tempura instead.

Creamy bacon mushroom thyme chicken and riced cauliflower. Daughter is helping me cook. The only soda the lady has is zero sugar root beer, so that's what I will be drinking.

T bone, taters, and aspargras

 

[Pearl]

Bowtie pasta with meat sauce!! Garlic bread!

For the record, the girl always stages these photos. Moves a mushroom here or there, turns the pan, adds some thyme, etc. Then she applies filters to make it look better before posting it. Still, she did a lot of the work and was proud.

3-4, depends on the size and thickness. I prefer a bone in thick chop.

I also make a glaze/sauce from time to time that is actually in my BBQ journal:

1 cup BBQ Sauce - I use Sweet Baby Rays
1 cup Brown Sugar
½ cup Pineapple Juice
¼ cup Tennessee Whiskey
2 Tablespoons Minced Onion
3–4 Cloves Minced Garlic
1 Tablespoon Butter

In a small pot melt butter and sauté onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add brown sugar and pineapple juice and bring to a slight boil. Add whiskey and cook at a low boil for 4-5 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Add vinegar sauce and continue to cook until mixture reduces about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

Thanks Marsh!

BTW, I only use Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce!!!

I'm going to cook some hot dogs and Bush's Bourbon & Brown Sugar Grillin Beans.

Easy peasy. Will toast some black bread to eat with it.

 

[Amish Heart]

Cheeseburgers, steak fries, and cut fresh fruit. Levi is starving, and helped make the burgers so he could stay for dinner. Just waiting on the fries to be done.

 

[Ekatarina]

Cherios cereals and nuts and sour cream

 

[snappy1]

Homemade chicken salad sandwich.

I didn't see vinegar on the ingredient list??

The recipe calls for a vinegar based BBQ sauce, I just use Sweet Baby Ray's instead.

I am going to fry a little bacon, added some whipped eggs, throw on a slice of cheese, toast some bread and make a breakfast sandwich for dinner. I have other options but they all require wrapping something frozen in a paper towel and microwaving it.

Fish taco's
Sliced tomatoes
Mac and cheese.

 

[Bacpacker]

Roast beef, mashed taters, peas, sweet tea

Alexandra made a nice chicken ceaser salad this evening.

Got some thin sliced ny strip steaks on sale. Had a tasty steak sandwich for supper. Snack time now... scuppernongs, late summer favorite!

I took advantage of my return to the compound and had some Dinty Moore beef stew. And yes, I ate it room temp straight out of the can with a brown plastic MRE spoon, like a man! And I drank a Coke Zero.
