It cooled off enough to put short ribs in the oven today. I love how they turned out!
The missus‘ brother sent us a gift card for a lobster dinner. We went last night, and came home with enough leftover to make lobster rolls tonight!
Past. Don’t tell Trump that we are on fire out west! He’ll make I-25 and I-70 toll roads.
It was 100° all afternoon, so we decided a cold salad would be good. Crab and Avocado salad, with a Red Chile and Lime vinaigrette. I’d forgotten how pricy lump crab can get, but it’s worth it once in a while!
Pulled some steelhead trout out of the freezer. Made a pasta Alfredo to serve with it. We need to go catch some more of this.
98° at lunchtime. We needed something cool for that. Avocado and shrimp salad just works!
Found a recipe for Hot Honey Street Corn. Made it with a pork chop and the glaze I mixed in with the corn.
We are still working on the Tomahawk steak! The missus said this was the best sandwich ever! Woot! Sweet potato fries on the side!
I reverse seared this ribeye on Saturday. Low temp on the smoker to a temp of 120°, then blistering heat for 1 minute per side.
Our fishmonger had Alaskan Sablefish today. It’s a super moist, super flaky whitefish. It made the best fish tacos for dinner!
We both worked the election yesterday, so we moved date night to tonight. Salmon Alfredo was pretty good!
Cajun spiced red snapper in a creole tomato sauce. Roasted green beans were overdone. Oh well.
Beef back ribs. Seven hours on the smoker turned them into perfection! How it started. How it ended up!
The missus asked if I could make the Alfredo again. So, I had a couple of lobster tails in the freezer and now I don’t!
Green Chile bechamel sauce with Polidori Sausage Hatch Chile and Cheese sausages over egg noodles for dinner. Heaven in every bite!
Put a rack of lamb in the smoker, with broccolini and sweet potatoes to celebrate the beginning of June.
Instacart shopper couldn‘t find Poblanos, so she brought me a pound of jalapenos this morning. So I stuffed a pork loin with them and wrapped everything in bacon.
We did date night on Sunday night this weekend. Corn is a little early, but I still ate it!
I didn’t have much to make for dinner tonight so I decided that pasta Alfredo would do. Bacon instead of guanciale, over garlic linguine from a local pasta guy, Pappardelle’s.
Who’s up for lasagna? It was rainy all afternoon today, so I thought having this in the oven would make the house smell so good!
Light lunch with roasted asparagus and shrimp. Side is coleslaw with apples. Washed it down with a Mexican chocolate stout. Gorgeous day today!
Gordon Ramsay’s Spicy Lamb Shanks and Yukon Gold mash. Saturday night date night dinner.
I was so excited that I got to put Bode’s trip to the vet and his medicine on a credit card yesterday! And I’ll get to put the work from my broken trees on it too! F Trump and his whole administration.
Dinner. How it started. There are leftovers! 4 hours on the smoker was perfect!
Want to see how we ate during the Vietnam war? And how Trump is feeding the troops?
It’s a nice night for meatloaf! And we have some for sandwiches tomorrow!
