Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Pic from another forum's 'what's for dinner' thread:

 

Seeing all the cabbage posts - has anyone ever thrown a couple wedges in tin foil and put them on the grill. I take a head of cabbage and cut it into hearty wedges. Then I slather each side with butter/spices and wrap a couple pieces of bacon around each of them. I wrap them in a tin foil and throw them on the Egg for a while. You really cant over do it. I usually throw a Vidalia onion on their too with the top carved out an inch or so down and packed with butter/spices.

Really good on the Egg with Beef Plate Ribs—

 

I like the onions on top of pork chops or hamburgers. My wife loves them on steak but I prefer my steak without a lot of distractions. So I make one and put it on my baked potato instead. Shes not a fan of cabbage so I dont make it as much as the onions. But its one of my favorite "add ons".

 

Tonight I’ve got 1” thick bone-in center cut pork chops on the grill—Pat’s Ho-made will show up for the last two turns—

Inside it’ll be fresh crowder peas with pod okra on top and a pot of rice topped with Rotel tomatoes—of course jalapeño cornbread on the side—

The ice cold longnecks are enjoying watching September wind down with it’s mild 97* days—

 

Inspired by you guys....picked up a head of green cabbage today.

Will not be wrapping with bacon though as I'm entering into my annual Fall fitness program. Boot camp more or less for the next 3 months!

My heart thanks me!

 

Oriental Beef Stir Fry over Teriyaki Rice tonight—

The back porch Yeti is glad it’s Friday—

 

This evening I’ve got a request for Beef Plate Ribs, so the Egg will be busy this afternoon—

To go with it will be fresh Romaine salad topped with vine ripe tomatoes and baked potatoes—

The Yeti is full and ready for a great day of Saturday football—

 

Angus beef hot dogs last night and what was left over for lunch today. No buns - per my annual Fall fitness program. When you have 2 dogs...who turn their noses up at nothing....you'll always find something to do with the buns you don't want.

Life is always good at Gator Nation....

 

Since I had a special request yesterday and varied from my Saturday football grilled wings and a cold tray I’m getting my grilled wings in tonight with a cold tray—

Remember, the difference in refrigerator beer and ice cold beer is, well, refrigerator beer is kinda like kissing your sister—you can do it, but it’s just not the same—

Gotta love those back porch ice cold longnecks—

 

Switching gears a bit - watching the Ken Burns documentary right now on PBS "Country Music".

The last episode was 1973-1983 and the one coming up is 1984-1996.

It's VERY well done. Peter Coyote as narrator.

I can't call myself a lover of country music - but as a lover of music - I love this documentary.

I suspect many here lived through these eras too - which makes it all the better.

 

I've only watched these two episodes (#7 & 8) but hope to watch all of them at some point.

I couldn't get through tonight without tears welling up during the Johnny Cash segment when he passed away - 4 months after his wife, June died, and his daughter Roseanne spoke about those last few months and then showing her singing at his memorial concert - that was very emotional for me.

The way the documentary provides the historical aspects, personal histories, and relationships of the music, the industry, and the recording artists is very special and extremely well done.

I listen to music every day and as much as possible when working. I don't know why it means so much to me.

Ever heard the of band "Honk" from California? I listened to that during the first shift today. I just woke up this morning and decided that was what I wanted to listen to. Maybe it will be ELP tomorrow. Who knows? Like food....there's an endless variety to choose from.

 

While the civil war series was emotionally amazing, after all of the factual errors in the baseball series that I am sure of, I can’t watch him because I don’t know what to believe about these topics I know less about

 

The house is already smelling good—Using the ham bone from the smoked ham last week for a pot of ham bone soup using the Honey Baked Ham Multi-Bean packet—fresh jalapeño cornbread with be perfect on the side—

The Yeti is loaded and ready for the day’s activities—

Life is good in Gator Nation—
