Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Tonight it's a 10 lb shank portion ham on the Egg over applewood smoke with home made red tater tater salad and fresh pink-eyed peas with snaps...
You know what that means----really good ham'n'cheese omelets with grits and biscuits in the morning!

 

Smoking butts today on the Egg. Home made baked mac & cheese, slow cooked barbecue beans, and steamed fresh cabbage to go along with. Butts are a long slow cook--Back porch Yeti's getting a work-out today....

 

We were busy all day both around the house and running errands so it was grilled cheeseburgers and home fries tonight.
Alan's coming in for the week-end tomorrow so we're gonna kick it off with fresh fried catfish, cheese grits, and home made cole slaw Friday night.
Give him a night with his friends Saturday--
And have Jan's pot roast & gravy, mashed potatoes, cream 40's & baby butter beans along with fried cornbread on Sunday...
Love having family home for the week-end...

 

Is it just me or does anyone else gain 5 pounds every time they click on this thread??????

 

YES!!!!
It is tomorrow!!!

 

I am with you on the marinating, Lurker.

Instructions say 2 hours which I always translate to two days plus.

I love taking the most basic chicken pieces - the thigh and the leg then marinating and grilling them so they taste as good as any steak.

 

And, jerk marinade is my fave closely followed by teriyaki and mojo.

 

Do any of you do tailgating for baseball games?

I've been living in Miami for some time and will be moving to Jacksonville in about a year. Would love to get together with you all.

 

There is a regular group that gets together tailgatoring around the law library--you know them as "the Section E Hecklers"...Also Wingtee, a baseball alum lives in Jax also.

 

2" thick boneless ribeyes tonight with bi-colored cob corn and baked red taters on the grill along with a fresh salad.
Ice cold bottled Pacifico with fresh lime wedges to along with the meal tonight.

 

"Pre-Hurricane" party tonight. Got a house full up from Tampa riding it out (Kayla & Tim and a couple of their friends)--
St.Louis cut rack ribs on the Egg over apple wood smoke along with some wild hog Italian sausage, cream 40's & butter beans, barbecued baked beans, and loaded smashed potatoes...
Oh yeah, and ice cold longnecks.....

 

We've been busy the last two days and nights on Merritts Mill Pond here in Marianna setting crawfish traps. Yes, I know the normal season is March-May--but-- this pond is spring-fed and stays at a very cool temperature year-round making crawfish a real treat.
We had really good luck and as these are spring fed as I said so there's not so much work to purge them.
We had a great Low Country Boil with 60 lbs of crawfish, corn, new potatoes, mushrooms, and New Orleans style Andoulie sausage.....
And yes--plenty of ice cold longnecks...
Batten down the hatches boys and girls---it's fixing to get real.

 

I don't eat "critters" lol.
