I feel like a golfer waiting for that gap in the ran to hit...have a couple planks soaking and some salmon that is aching to get on the grill...

Went to Casey's in Naperville:
Skirt steak, crab stuffed mushrooms, and cheddar/onion brats.


Let's do this......

In spite of mother nature saying fuck you, planked a couple more filets of salmon over the coals...this time I glazed them a bit before throwing throwing them on the grill and a couple more times during...soy sauce is quickly become my go to ingredient in grill prep.

Whole chicken legs and bone-in split breasts with a homemade barbecue sauce featuring pureed, canned heirloom tomatoes from last year's garden and extra dark Vermont syrup. Winner!

Part of me suggested we grill whatever meat we put in the fajitas, but I need a day off.

made some burgers over the weekend , ground the meat myself, mix of chuck and short rib

taste was solid of course, but i needed a bit more fat they were a bit crumbly

One can eat duck raw.

Marinated some New York strips and threw them over the coals...also did some sliced portabellas and asparagus. Either I have the worst luck with getting a good cut of NY strip or the fat in them is just much chewier than that of a ribeye...flavor was good but chewing was a chore at times.

Beer can chicken
Gold potatoes
asparagus (right on the grill grates for five minutes, covered with garlic butter and lemon)

NY strip, twice baked potatoes, salad...

Bought a new marinade at the Butcher that was A-OK.

Burgers three ways...also did homemade steak fries...I'm miserably full but it was totally worth it.

Got some chicken breast and shrimp marinating that I'm gonna throw on the grill later for some fettuccine alfredo I'm making tonight.

Still have to go to the store but likely some NY Strip steaks tonight.

Lot of fans of the NY Strip here. I'm a ribeye guy myself. (here ya go Lipid)

I'm a ribeye guy as well Hank.

I just think it is the most flavorful. I'll pick it over any other cut any day of the week...

I am a fan of the rib-eye myself.

Tonight it's Porterhouses, asparagus, and potatoes.

Ribeye is the only way to go.

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight.

The asparagus looked terrible, so I bought brussel sprouts. I will wrap them in foil with a chopped shallot and some prosciutto, all drizzled in olive oil.

Yeah, only time I've had one is at Texas Roadhouse, but I'm thinking I'm gonna have to talk to the butcher at some point this summer and get me some of these to do at home.

You will be so glad, it is without a doubt my favorite steak.
