    Lurk-

    I edited my post--I've got a long broom handle with a notch cut in it I can hook under the Egg lid handle so that I'm a few feet back when I do this---

    It has been a rainy day in Gainesville.

    Making penne with garlic, rapini, and sweet Italian sausage for dinner tonight to eat while enjoying the game.

    Sounds great. Kind of like paella with noodles instead of rice, isn't it?

    Now you have me thinking about cooking that with rice and throwing in some andouille and crayfish in addition with a bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce on the side and calling it Cajun paella. Maybe also some oysters in there as well if they are in season.

    Lurk--

    Paella is one of our favorites--but it's kinda like doing a Low-Country Boil--It's always a BIG pot! (And well worth it!)

    When I was looking for an academic job many years ago South Carolina tried really hard late in the game. I never applied to them, but they called me just after I got an offer from UF that I was 99% certain that I would accept. By right after I mean within the hour of getting the offer. The UF job was the position that I really wanted from all the places I applied. And I was honest enough to tell them during the phone call, but they said let us try to change your mind. What they did not know was that shrimp and grits as well as Low-Country Boil were high on my culinary list of yummy stuff. If they knew that I might have become a Gamecock instead of a Gator.

    On Thursday I am off to DC for the weekend and will miss the home series with Missouri.

    There are so many great places to eat in DC. Last time there I sampled some pho as there were many places that served it. OMG it was awesome.

    Mangialardo's. One of the best subs I have ever had. Not a nice part of DC but the sandwich is brilliant. FYI...

    Grilling 3/4" thick center cut pork chops touched with Pat's Ho-made tonight. Grilled cob corn, grilled asparagus, Dixie Lily Yellow rice dinner topped with Rotels to go with.

    And yes, the Yeti is topped off with ice cold longnecks ready for the day!

    Tonight is a crawfish boil at the local country club. Saint Arnold's beer (a local Houston brewer) plus pounds of crawfish. Hard to argue with that meal! It does mean I have to follow the game via my cell phone.

    Grilling boneless ribeye, 1 1/2" variety, with grilled/baked potato, grilled fresh cob corn, and a fresh salad with vine ripe tomatoes.

    Doesn't everybody treat themselves after we sweep???:)

    Ice cold longnecks to go with the afternoon and a tumbler of Elijah Craig Small Batch over cracked ice with the steak--

    Don't even know why I said that--I'm sure that's how everybody does it...;)

    Oh, and @wingtee, that's always done on Kingsford Charcoal...

    Garlic powder?

    Why don't people in the US mince fresh garlic? My mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, my parents. Everyone uses powder. Buy fresh organic garlic and mince it. Much much better.

    I only use garlic powder as part of a dry rub on occasion. Other than that I used "fresh" garlic and I use several heads of it every week. I put fresh in quotes because it is dried a bit first and not freshly dug from the ground.

    As for the asparagus as described I would definitely use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.
