I say the key to a well prepared meal is preparation.
I like to check out the meat prior to preparing it.

Was cooking inside and outside at the same time, running in and out like crazy, so some slightly charred chicken, lol:





And a couple of somewhat mediocre striploins to finish it off:



They were actually fine, not mediocre. the debacle was that it was one piece that was too thick for a single steak to “properly” cook this way, but not quite thick enough to slice it into two steaks. After some back and forth, I decided on the latter and after a bit of paranoia (about getting it to the shoe sole stage, a la well done) while cooking, crisis was averted and it turned out all right. I’d prefer a little more rare myself, but it was for the kids (they’d probably eat the shoe soles too though, if I cut them properly, lol).

Boy, I’d put a squeeze of lemon, a minced clove of garlic, and a good glut of olive oil on that chicken and gobble it right up.

Garlic Scapes matured over the past few days.
So, cut them and transformed them all into Garlic Scape Pesto.

Last night smothered a couple pork chops with that and gently BarBeed.



Corn on the Cob and Pasta along with a fine Merlot made for a fine feast!

Sorry - forgot the follow-up pix...

Cheers

Yesterday a good friend informed me that today is the last day for commercial prawn fishing here, and that one of the local boats would be offering caught-that-day spot prawns for 12 clams a pound!!

So, I was there around an hour before they were expected in.
HUGE buggers, still kicking!
Collected ten pounds.

On the way out, another Buddy (fishes for cod & rockfish) called me over for a BS.
When I went to depart, he said Hold that bucket out!
Then tossed in a nice sized yellow Eye (Red Snapper)!

Great day to be at the docks!!



So of course tonight's din-din will be massive prawns & Yelloweye with a cold salad of some sort!

Cheers,
Nog

Certainly! Was a meal fit for a King!

You know the prawns are big when only eight fit on a skewer that usually takes a dozen!



A dribble of butter with a shot of white wine & lemon, then the spices - Bow River Blend from The Silk Road in Calgary (one of THE Best spice shops all round!) for the fish, and red peppers & garlic for the prawns:



Onto the BarBee for a quick sear:



Served up with Mushrooms, Rice & Vermicelli in a home made sauce:



And quaffed back under candlelight with a very fine Merlot:



All in all... SUPERB!!

Cheers,
Nog

Default WHATS FOR SUPPER...keep it going

As always.. looks amazing Nog!

Wife and I had an evening sans kids last night, so got a couple of ribeye steaks, fresh garden beats and greens topped off with some nice wine. Missing that fresh seafood above, but fresh Alberta beef will have to suffice!

That looks damn GOOD DR!!

Yesterday found me up the ladder and collecting a few of our cherries.
The Lady insisted I get around to making her favorite: Black Forest Cherries again.

The Recipe:

Black Forest Cherries

Cherries – washed & pitted
Medium syrup (8 cups of water to 3 1/2 cups sugar)
Cream De Cacao
Pint jars

Prep jars by boiling in water canner
Pour 2 ounces of Cream de Cacao into the jar
Add cherries – pack to about ½” from the rim
Cover with hot syrup to ¼” depth over cherries
Process in water bath canner for 15 minutes.









Now we wait a couple weeks for the flavors to blend before we enjoy the yummyness!

And in keeping with the these on this thread - last night's din-din was BarBeed Yelloweye Snapper, Basmati Rice, Garlic scapes with walking onions, all topped with my Lady's home-made Hollandaise Sauce:



Marvelous!!

Cheers,
Nog
