It's almost time for Copper River Sockeye! Another 5 days until the first opener, probably 6 days until it hits a market near you! YUM!

 

...also, last week Karin and I made pizza on the BBQ for the first time ever. Never again in the oven! That worked so well, a much better product that's for sure.

 

Currently baking root beer ribs right now, done in 9 minutes. Pics should follow pretty soon. I already made risotto al cioccolato (chocolate risotto), waiting for that pic to download now. It was really good!!!

 

Somebody needs to get a pic set of this pizza on a BBQ thing going, so I can see how to do it

I've made pizza at home a couple times and its good, but never on the grill.

 

Here is the chocolate risotto.

 

What you need to do is make sure that you clean the grill really good and grease it even better. I have posted pics of grilled pizza on here.

 

I am in the process of downloading pics from last nights dinner. It was grilled rib eyes with jicama salad with shrimp carrots,green apples,a mint,cilantro,lemon grass,sugar vinegar,olive oil dressing which is sooooo good. We have had it on about any salad and its top notch

 

Here are the rib eyes

Here are the ribs, I took them out of the oven then I covered them with a rootbeer bbq reduction. I intentionally did not coat one of them so that you could see what they looked like without sacue. I put them back in the oven for a bit....

Holy god man!

 

Tell you how they are in like 30 minutes, time to go on a run!!!

 

They were very good. I just ate the extra pieces that that hide under the ribs and they were good. I cooked them a little too long and they were spicy due to the dry rub,but I will dr them up a little bit tomorrow.

 

Always the tots!!!! hehee

Let us know how the Rocky Road bread turned out...curious as to the flavor and how much flavor you notice.

 

Pete you should have let me know you were making breakfast. I have a super simple recipe for an egg casserole with tater tots..... and I mean super easy and really good

 

If you wouldn't mind a quick 1 2 3 on how you made those ribs, it'd be swell, I'd like to give them a whirl!

 

I didn't take any pics but here is the recipe I followed...

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and all you mother f*ckers out there!

 

Just for ha-ha's, I went outside and conducted a little test.

I've got, as I've shown here a couple times, a four-burner gas grill for my daily cookin' needs. The grills burners are, from the perspective of the cook, vertical away from you, arranged right to left. Essentially, there's a burner pointing away from each dial, as it were, not including the fairly useless (round) side-burner.



So, as you can see here, I set up a probe thermometer with a binder clip on the far left side of the upper rack, and turned on just the far right burner to its lowest setting. Then I set my timer for 5 minute increments and sat back.

After 45 minutes, here's the HIGHEST rating I've seen:



The rate is 210-217, depending on the wind. Which makes me a very, very happy camper. It JUST so happens I have some pork ribs in the chill-chest not working real hard, and I'm thinking I needs to try this thing as a MacGuyver'd smoker tomorrow...

1-I dried the ribs off with a paper towel, then sprinkled generously with any pork dry rub you like, I used a sweet and spicy one that was in my cabinet. Then I seared on a hot grill for a couple of minutes.
2-I then redressed with the dry rub. I put the rack on a long enough piece to have about 4 inches on each side. Then you kind of make a boat with the foil and pour some root beer or whatever kind of soda you want to make. I know guys have used dr pepper,coke or pepsi, this time I used Barq's root beer. Then take another piece of foil and place it over top and seal it well.

3- Into a preheated 350 oven and let it got for 2:30 to 3:00 hours. After the 3 hours I took it out and drenched with a bbq sauce and rootbeer reduction that I made about 30 minutes before the rigs were done on 350 for 15 to 20 minutes.

They came out good. I am long winded about this recipe but it is super easy!!!!

 

If it was breakfast you wanted I would def recommend the recipe I have for the tater tots.... maybe for next time.
