Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Rainy and cool in Gainesville.

Bought two nine pound pork shoulders at Winn Dixie and put them in my MIL's freezer. No St Louis cut pork ribs on bogo. Only spare ribs and baby backs and I passed on them.

My wife made an Indian potato and cabbage thing with lots of black mustard seeds taht we will have for dinner.

Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. It used to be my wife's and my favorite evening to go out to eat. Back then they were not busy during the Super Bowl. Then the owners finally got the smart idea of renting the place out for private Super Bowl parties.

 

Every Winn Dixie is different.

My local flier said that they had beef short ribs on sale, but I didn't look for them in particular and I didn't see them. I should have looked harder because I makes a mean braised short rib with two different takes. One is just decadent and artery clogging (I don't make this very often, but it tastes so good) and the other is in a Provencal style that also tastes great but not the same orgasmic effect.

 

Two really important catfish in MLB history. Most everyone here knows about Hunter. But there was also Bill "Catfish" Klem. He was a long time NL ump and HATED the moniker Catfish.

Good story about Al Lopez getting ejected from a game. He was a catcher. He glued a newspaper picture on home plate showing that Bill Klem blew a call the day before and covered it with dirt. Then Catfish used his brush. LOL.

 

I got that once at my local Publix. I had to ask for it.

 

Feb 27 is in 2024.

 

@74nole knows a lot more than me about grilling beef ribs.

I prefer braising them as short ribs. Epicurious has some great places to start learning how to do it.

 

Brain fart.

 

Braised Beef Short Ribs
Provençal Short Ribs with Olives and Herbs

 

Grilled knockwurst and Texan kielbasa on the KJ. Always better with a tiny bit of smoke.

Salad with grain as a side. Slightly unhealthy and very healthy combo.
