Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

We played a lot of PG tournaments at Pickens County HS. Their facilities are elite.

 

Pork picnic roast on sale at Publix today @ $1.50/lb. Picked up a half roast, right about 3.75lb.

Kinder's cherry chipotle rub, half a white onion, two smashed garlic cloves, 1 cup of water. High pressure in the instant pot for 75min.

Remove bone, shred, sheet pan under the broiler for 12 minutes.

Perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, etc. Excellent on a bun with slaw.

Go Gators!

 

Pulled out my old cylinder smoker (Cajun Cooker style) today.
I’ll be smoking a standing pork rib roast. Seasoned with coarse black pepper and original Everglades seasoning.

My water pan will be half water and half apple juice as I am using apple chunks for my wood smoke.

Our sides will be a pot of fresh green beans and new potatoes and I will lay some fresh bi-color cob corn in the smoker when it’s time. A good meal in celebration of our Gators getting it done with the sweep of Mizzou.

Ice cold longnecks and chilled wine are available as desired.

Life is good in Gator Nation!

 

I’ve done a few in my infrared turkey fryer. I did not think it would work as well as it does. Only two things I use that thing for, turkeys and rib roasts. It does a phenomenal job with both.

 

Clam chowder for lunch....Snow's condensed from a can. Diluted with half & half and seasoned with black pepper and pink salt.....yum!!!

 

Tonight we are having spaghetti for supper. We will also have a freshly made Romaine salad topped with vine ripe tomatoes.
Toasted garlic bread will be on the table as well.

The pot of spaghetti sauce is filling the house with its appealing aroma.

Ice cold longnecks and chilled wine will be available.

Lentil soup for lunch....yum!

 

Aunt Nellie's Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage for lunch....yum!

 

Same experience here. When one calls I say they call them spring breakers for nothing. I post that I rent to no one under 25 years old.

 

Salmon tonight!

 

Loaded BBQ pork tots tonight.

Air fried tater tots (extra, extra crispy), put back under the broiler for a few minutes with the pulled pork I made this weekend, jalapeños, and colby jack cheese.

Once melted, topped with scallions, cilantro, and Greek yogurt (which I prefer to sour cream). Valentina hot sauce on top.

Simple salad of iceberg lettuce, chopped fresh tomatoes, and lemon juice on the side.

Is it authentic? No.
Is it healthy? No.
Is it GD delicious? YES

 

I failed to post this earlier. We’re having grilled cheeseburgers and Lay’s lightly salted ruffle chips tonight.

Ms. Jan’s staying with her chilled wine and I’m enjoying a tumbler or two of Elijah Craig.
