Was going to grill filets, wife said it's way too hot to grill. She started them in a cast iron and finished them in the oven. And they were outstanding.

Ribeyes, baked potatoes, and asparagus.

Baby back ribs. I will be using a barbecue sauce that I made this morning.

Ingredients
2 cups ketchup
2 cups tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
4 teaspoons hickory flavored liquid smoke
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together the ketchup, tomato sauce, brown sugar, wine vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke and butter. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, celery seed, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper.

Reduce heat to low, and simmer for up to 20 minutes. For thicker sauce, simmer longer, and for thinner, less time is needed. Sauce can also be thinned using a bit of water if necessary. Brush sauce onto any kind of meat during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Did some cheddar burgers, grilled some bacon, polish sausages and grilled onions in a foil pack.

Very nice. Super easy.

Can someone grill me some food im hungry

Standard fare today: burgers, dogs, misc stuffed sausages, maybe lamb chops.

Gonna be a looooong day. Festivities start at 8am in Lake Bluff...probably have my first cocktail around 830.

Feeling bad for my 4yo...he developed a fever last night and it's not gone yet. He's been super excited about the parade.

Burgers tonight.

Last night was chicken thighs, grilled potatoes in a foil pack thing my wife makes, and some corn on the cob.

_________________

Big menu today - burgers, Polish, hot dogs, bacon, t-bones, catfish, cheesy potatoes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and ribs.

Ribs are for dinner. They look good.

Damn... very similar to my menu minus the ribs and catfish.

Well, if you love T-Bones so much, we might as well start calling you T-Bone.

To continue the trend...

T-Bones, hot links, burgers, chicken (later in the week dinner options), corn, zucchini, mushrooms along with some garlic bread.

I'm really into grilling thick cut bacon this summer.

If you time it right, you can really get some big flames to sear steaks, fish, burgers...anything that needs some heat.

Do you buy a pork belly, and brine it yourself?



That's a pretty good idea.

No. Too much work to brine just for that.

Just buy a pack of Wright brand thick cut Applewood bacon at Da Jewels. About 18 for $6.

If you take care, you can make some great stuff. One mistake and you are eating charcoal.

I like to put it on the top rack, grill covered, about 6-8 slices at a time on high heat for about 5 minutes or so. Once it starts dripping fat, take it down and put it on direct heat until it starts the fat frying and pull it off at your level of doneness. I've found that's the best way to keep it flat.

It was an experiment, but turned out pretty decent.
