It was a perfect day for grilling, 47 degs with a nice breeze blowing. It feels like a storm is moving in. We'll see.
What's for dinner tonight?

I cooked a pot of red beans, that where stored away from the fall of 2017. They cooked just fine. 1 year old hot smoked sausage from the freezer, also just fine.
I'm only storing some of my meats for up to a year in the freezer to test them out. I may experiment with some and try them after 15 months and 18 months. I really don't have the room to extend beyond a year on my frozen meats anyhow.
I cooked rice and picked up a loaf of French bread.

We've had meat stored in the freezer for up to 2 years without any problem. We vacuum seal everything and it turns out fine. Generally when we butcher a beef, pork or chicken we try to eat it all before the next years butchering. If we have too much meat left over we'll donate it to the old folks center in town.
TLDR Anyone say mealworms?
I took the family out for a pizza and to celebrate a birthday.

We're having steak fajitas tonight. Right now I'm sitting out on the back deck with the granddaughter eating smoked clams.
New diet, I am now eating everything in sight. In the last 3 months, I have lost 30+ pounds. I went from 175 t0 133 pounds. I am 5'11. My metabolism has kicked into high gear and is not slowing down. I have been medically checked and everything came back normal. So I have decided to quit worrying about my carb intake and focus on gaining most of my weight back. I look like a walking scarecrow.

Making pizzas
I’m doing take out tonight. Still deciding from a BBQ platter, pizza, Mexican, Chinese, or seafood. Also deciding on how far I’m willing to travel for dinner since I live kind of out in the nowhere.
Pizza and philly subs won. I’m content with the world now.

We had some steamed broccoli and steamed frozen rock lobster tails last night. I steamed them for 6 minutes after thawing them out. Dipped in pure melted butter.
REALLY GOOD! I've had much worse live lobster at restaurants.

Nice snacks....
Where's the meat?
I cooked a pot of red beans and some rice. 2 loaves of French bread. A carrot cake for dessert.
