Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Tonight’s supper will be boneless country cut ribs grilled indirect over cherry wood smoke with Pat’s Homade on the last two turns.


We will finish up the pot of green beans and new potatoes and have some more bi-color cob corn. There will be jalapeño cornbread to go with.

It was only 93* here today but with the humidity it was “feels like 101*...” Ice cold longnecks and chilled wine again await us on the back porch.

Lurk—

W/D used to have bone-in country cut ribs as well as bone-in country style ribs. The first was a true cut off the rib which gave you a tender piece of meat kinda shaped like a quarter moon. The later was merely Boston butt thin sliced up (not an easy cut to cook tender, at least for me).

Through times changing, they now only receive the country cut rib in a boneless package (giving you the quarter moon shaped piece of meat which cooks up quite tender) and that’s just what they tag it.

Sorry about your day....

 

Lol—all I can say is I guess it wasn’t until the butcher cut the bone away........the way they cook up they should call’em pork tenders.

 

Plumbing repairs.....ugh!

I bought a whole bunch of those specialty plumbing tools from HD made by Husky.

It still boils down to doing a bunch of awkward maneuvers that any gymnast would find challenging, sending prayers up on every task, plus an assortment of cuss words tossed in for good measure.

Tell you what though...those shark bites are worth their freaking weight in gold for how much they help!

Good luck on getting it resolved, Lurk!

 

Yep—Baz I was just wondering how many bloody knuckles Lurk might be sporting now....

 

Sounds like he exercised just the right amount of discretion by knowing when to fold 'em.

BTDT myself.....

 

We are going with the All-American supper tonight of grilling cheeseburgers and hotdogs.

Sides will be baked BBQ beans and air-fry French fries.

Ice cold longnecks and chilled wine as needed.

The recent hot dog conversation influenced me to buy some of these and I just had one for lunch....delicious!

They're YUGE! I used a sesame seeded hoggie roll for a bun....lol.....

 

Congrats on getting the plumbing part done, Lurk. That was the tricky part!

 

Smoking some baby back ribs tonight with lump charcoal and cherry wood. Also pressure cooking some white acre peas and okra. Maybe I can post a picture later when they are done.

Cool seeing what everyone likes to cook on here. I will try and participate more!

 

The house is smelling good today as Ms. Jan has put together a big pot of beef stew. Today we are using an eye of round roast—we’re slow cooking it whole then shred it with potatoes, vidalia onions, celery hearts, baby carrots and Ms. Jan will work her magic on the best beef stew gravy in the Panhandle.

I will fry cornbread to go with.

Afternoon thunderstorms will take away watching another sunset but we will get to sit on the back porch with our popular choice of adult libations while listening to the rain on the tin roof.

Damn that sounds good!

 

Well, I was picturing being at the ballpark!
