hmmm celery... might have to try that next time.

 

Celery is HELLA underrated in american kitchens. I use some in almost every crock pot dish I make, and that shit makes a *difference*. A big one.

Celery is one of the things our kitchen is NEVER without. Of course, it helps that the wife and I both have been known to eat it raw as a snack...

 

Oh raw with just a dash of salt is Noms! Also cant have a good bloddy marry without it...

 

With peanut butter or laughing cow cheese!!

 

Laughing cow is good me likes!

 

The wife is a big fan of sticks with a jar of Marie's Blue Cheese.

I just slice it thin, the short way, into half-moon chunks and munch away!

 

Weekend's grilling:Saturday:
Ribeye. I set the gas grill to 800 degrees to get a good sear, then turn it off and let it finish on the top rack. Leftovers with eggs is a good start for the next day.

 

Weekend's grilling:Sunday:
pork loin, cauliflower



I like to grill veggies, but this was a first time for cauliflower. It was great; I don't think I will ever want it just steamed again.


Plated with some gravy on the pork (made from drippings while grilling), cheese sauce on the grilled cauliflower, and a zucchini/squash/potato/tomato dish my wife made in the oven.

 

Bwainz....

 

Those look great Ferdie! ^^^

 

Now thats a good looking combo Pete! ^^^

 

If you don't know now you know secret menu shit McDonalds chicken and waffles!! Booooom

 

Any ROUND meat is from the back leg. Bottom Round, top round[inside round] eye of round will be tough if grilled. Ever try grilling a bottom round steak? Well don't. They do make good roasts as well as braising meats. Former meat cutter.

 

That is exactly the point I was making.

What's the old line? "The further from the hoof or horns"?

Yea. ROUND cuts are from the leg...not much fat, all lean work muscle. You need to cook long and low / slow to make it worthwhile.

That said, they can be damned tasty...if you cook them correctly. Try to grill them like a sirloin and you'll be severely disappointed.

 

That looks good Pete!

I love the cast iron skillet. Does anyone know how it will do on a glass top stove? My wife won't let me use cast iron on the stove - concerned it will scratch the stove top. I wish I had a gas stove...
