It's pretty well known that if you want to blacken a piece of salmon you best use the Infrared Grill. Moist and rare inside! ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ #BBQmunity

Love somebody. Make them food. Wife and I married 37 years. We try to laugh about something every day. Columbus, Ohio USA.
At Poll Worker training there was a discussion about handling credentialed observers. Me: What about ICE? Trainer: get their name and agency and call the Board of Elections. Me: So I can't just say "GTFO"? Trainer: get their name and agency and call the BOE Me (thinking): oh poop
Found 5 oz organic grass-fed beef fillets marked down to $6.50 each. Can't buy a hamburger for that. Spouse made a compound butter with blue cheese and chives. Resting here right off the grill. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ #BBQmunity
Simple-ish dinner of Canellini puree (lots of garlic) on Sourdough Toast with chopped olives, sundried tomato and chili crisp. Chopped cilantro and freshly grated Parmesan. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐
After a weekend of keeping the puppy and myself amused, I made my sweetie a fun return home dish. Beef Braciole (stuffed beef bundles) served over Polenta. My plating and polenta cake game needs some work, but excellent flavor. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐
College Football Saturday so made Dr. Pepper Ribs. Marinated in DP overnight then sliced, rubbed and smoked over Cherry. Braised in more DP, butter, brown sugar and a little wing sauce. Finished brushing with Sweet Heat sauce thinned with DP. Yum ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ #BBQmunity #CFB
Guy dinner I guess as spouse out of town. Strip Steak, Baked beans, baked potato and broccoli slaw. Photo looks a little like Ponderosa circa 1995, but it's Prime grade Angus and wine from Napa. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ #BBQmunity
Grilled Chicken marinated in pickle juice and Bok Choy drizzled with olive oil, salt and chili crisp. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ #BBQmunity
NGL I stared at the 1kg $49 can of Luxardo cherries for a really long time trying to decide if we could drink enough cocktails before they went bad. I wrote off the 3kg can for $109 just out of this pic. ๐ธ
Pretty lucky to have a spouse that can mix cocktails and arrange flowers with equal flair. Fall Old Fashioned with a syrup of apple cider, cinnamon, clove and allspice. One of three flower arrangements made with about $25 worth of Trader Joe's stems. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐๐ธ๐
Good Morning! #1 did the Blueberry Corn Cake and The Hash Brown Veggie Casserole (shown). I did the Bacon, Coffee, and "Pear-mosas" (Pear Juice > OJ). ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ #Brunch
Sheet pan Chicken cutlets with Lemon and Feta, along with green beans and tomatoes. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐
HT to #1 for the Coconut Curried Rice with Cod. She nailed the jammy eggs too! Recipe in comments. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
Trader Joe's GF Pumpkin Ravioli with a sage butter sauce along with Garlic Butter Steak Bites from a petite sirloin. Yes, butter-y. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ #BBQmunity
Frozen Pizza Adventures: Sexed up Kirkland Cauli Crust with pepperoni, fried chicken tenders, 3 kinds of cheese, and balsamic glaze. #1 at her Birthday Club and I may or may not have consumed most of a bottle of Napa Zin before and while eating this. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐
I'm at a fundraiser for @amyactonoh.bsky.social at a BBQ joint and they're serving Indian food, which just seems all kinds of cool.
Discovery of an urgent Ricotta expiration date led my spouse to make Polenta Lasagna on short notice. Used loaf pans so we could freeze for future. Two kinds of Italian sausage, spinach and mushrooms. No noodles, fully GF! ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
Piece of local Hangar Steak on sale for $7.75 sliced thin gave two nice portions and a went well with a "Whatever's in the Fridge" salad. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ #BBQmunity
Not fancy, but quickly made from pantry/freezer. TJs Dill Falafel balls, hummus, carrots, cherry tomatos, corn salsa, and romaine stuffed is a sourdough pita. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
My spouse made the Manhattan she watched Rachel Maddow make for Stephen Colbert on her show. ๐ธ Apparently though currently events caused this one to be haunted.
Labor Day Grilled Ribeyes from my sister's cow. Finishing salt and a touch of Graza. Sweet potato with Chili Crisp and corn salsa. Watermelon. 2019 Lirac for a bevvy ๐๐ฝ๏ธ #BBQmunity
Pork Back Ribs seared on the grill after smoking. Cole Slaw with Blue Cheese crumbles (my fav way) and cornbread. Ribs on BOGO, so a whole 3lb rack was about $11. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ #BBQmunity
Sliced Chicken Breast on sale for $6.15 becomes Chix Cesear Salad. Sourdough Bread chunks drizzled with OO and crushed garlic grilled for croutons Shaved Parm #BBQMUNITY ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
Well it was Monday, Louisiana steam bath weather outside, some laundry was done - Might as well have Red Beans and Rice. Used chicken andouille sausage and fresh out of Abita beer to go with, but still tasty. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
My spouse said she would make dinner while I was out on a long bike ride. I wound up with roasted salmon over garlic mashed potatoes with asparagus. Hit the spot. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
That time I saw a lady get out of a car with the license plate "GRILLS RULE". So awesome! #BBQmunity
As I expected, the leftover smoked and cured pork chops were amazing in a pile of eggs with cheddar cheese and spinach. (salsa on mine oli) ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
One of our fav simple dishes: Baked Salmon and Rice. Peas, grilled corn, and feta on the side. (The fish on the right is actually Tilapia because I mis-led my spouse on how much salmon was in the freezer. My bad. ๐คฆ) ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
Loved the ground pork burgers, so back to Farm Mkt to see my pork sensei. She suggested the smoked pork chops. TBH they were a bit too 'hammy" in texture for me but good and just $9/pair. Corn picked the day before. Chared, cut & tossed with butter& seasonings. #BBQmunity ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
