Beautiful Saturday - What’s for dinner?

My family plays all games for blood, so yes.

this is just a social game, but I won the last one and I intend to win tonight.

Rainy, drizzly and 65 degrees here.

Went down the street to pick up a couple of sammiches.

BLT and a cucumber tuna salad.

Homemade guac and pico de gallo. I can eat store bought guacamole, but store bought pico can never compare…

That marinade was maybe the best damn thing I’ve ever made. The lime cut through, but there was still plenty of sweet and a little heat. It worked even better on the chicken

Tonight we went to Mi Cozumel, and absolutely over the top Mexican place.

Had this guy trying out some robot like suit. Not sure what that was about.

I wish I had good pics of the inside. never saw a Mexican place quite like it. Even the restrooms were extra.

Even the restrooms were extra.

You had to pay to use them???

[Mik]

Um, no. They were quite luxurious.

I made the fajitas again tonight. I’ve actually made them a few times, refining it, as this is maybe the best thing I have ever made.

A couple of updates - Bavette steak works best since it’s the thickest cut. Get that grill screaming hot. I was well over 500 when I tossed the steak on. 2 minutes per side gave a great char while not overcooking the middle. Also, you really want to marinade the meat between 6-8 hours. Too long and it turns to mush. You want to marinade chicken for roughly 2 hours… a little more lime for the chicken makes it pop. Cook the peppers and onions between the steak and chicken…

I've got a thick Berkshire pork chop brining since yesterday for dinner tonight. The brine is Boars' Night Out White Lightning. Good stuff.

Won't be much today, we're putting up pickles and peas.

Be lucky to get a fish stick...
