Whatcha Grilling?

[George K]

Nothin'

D2 is down from Wisconsing, currently spending time with D4 and G2. She's coming over to our place for dinner and the evening. She's still having smell/taste issues, and can't abide a lot of food, particularly beef (smells like vomit).

So....we're ordering in Thai.

What foods do taste good? Any?

Mexican and Thai, afaik.

When the watermelon explodes, you grab up your date and go hunt a piece.

I don’t get why you’d need to hunt up a piece if your date is with you.

BBQ pork ribs
Shrimp, chicken, and tempura kebabs
Bulgogi marinated beef
It rained before the hot dogs get their turn on the grill so it looks like we'll be skipping the hot dogs.

Not on the grill but on the side …

• Steamed Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce （蚝油芥蓝）
• Corn on the cob
• Spicy tofu （麻婆豆腐）
• Mango mousse cake
• Fruit and berry cake
• Boston cream pie
• Ice cream cake
• Boba milk tea popsicles

Ended up just pan frying them but, 1/2 lb stuffed burgers. Fresh garlic, onion and peppers minced by hand, sautéed in butter. Plus, 5 year old aged cheddar stuffed between two 1/4lb patties of fresh ground chuck. Everyone had their choice of cheese. Mrs. went with Swiss, daughter went with provolone.

A can of Bush's baked beans.

I ate my burger like a steak. No bun.

Cheeseburgers and hot dogs, if you haven’t tried them before they are really good.

Also used our grill at the new house for the first time. Still have my eyebrows so all went well.

Yeah. I'm tempted to try that as well. When I make burgers (about ¼ lb per patty) I'll put two patties on one bun for myself, and one for the management.

Onion, and blue cheese. Salt and Pepper. No mustard or ketchup.

I should try this without the bun - it adds little taste, and ends up being little more than additional carbs and calories.

[Jolly]

Without bun happens pretty often around here, usually with grilled vegetables...

[Mik]

Yeah, burger no bun has been a staple here for a number of years.

[Axtremus]

Do you at least replace the buns with, say, lettuce?

[Mik]

No, just treating the burger as the protein, much like lamb or chicken lula. Really quite delicious and very quick and easy dinner. Quarter pound burger, green salad and corn on the cob and voila!

Actually, if MFR and The Princess loved tomatoes like I do, I'd just serve sliced tomatoes this time of year. Alas, they do not.

A lot of groceries make up bacon cheese, mushroom, gouda, chicken or lamb burgers pre seasoned. Fresh Market's mushroom gouda ones are especially good.

More friends coming over tonight so I will smoke a couple racks of ribs. Or maybe just oven roast them. They turn out REALLY well with this recipe, although I don't use their rub. Too spicy for my audience.

I’d like to think that they would get a little inventive with equipment they are already carrying…

[Mik]

Like when they say they're gonna nuke something up....

salmon with a teriyaki glaze

Really hot today - real feel 97F and humid. So oven ribs it is.. don't feel like tending a fire, also changed to one full rack and some chicken legs bbq'd. Heading up for the first local picked corn. Not sure what else. Maybe miso green beans.

I made blackened chicken in Oreo sauce.......
