When I'm jonesing for Kobe Steak-flavored Lays or Mixed Bean Crackers I know I can always hit up the Asian grocery. And prices on Garlic, Green Onions and Bok Choy? Amazing. 👀

Enchiladas made with smoked pulled pork from the freezer and black beans. Elote corn casserole. Charred salsa Verde (Serious Eats) with a neighbor's peppers. #1 made a yummy Flan. 🍜🍽️ #BBQmunity

Smoked pork over potato. Came with a smoked peaches and cream. Sounds simple but it was really good. Also a bacon wrapped pizza roll! Who wouldn't like that?

There's mini smoked chicken and waffles! Also smoked Kofta meatballs in sauce

Smoked mac and cheese, pulled pork, and slaw, with a barbecue sauce coming out of a beer tap. Also a pork belly taco with pineapple and pickled onions.

#BBQmunity peeps! Went to the Ohio Eggfest today in Columbus! 26 cook teams preparing treats for tasting and benefiting charity. I'll post some faves in the comments to inspire you, but best was a Wasabi Deviled Egg with Pork Belly and Teriyaki sauce. Needed a nap after

Local Skirt Steak and Grilled Romaine topped with Feta & Pistachios. Salsa Verde marinade w/reserve for dressing.🍜🍽️ #BBQmunity ~$9/plate. Certain this cost less than a neighbor's misdelivered DoorDash McDonald's

Start with $6 Costco Cauliflower Crust (GF) frozen pizza. Empty fridge adding Italian salami, roast beef, prosciutto; Swiss, pepper jack and Italian blend cheese, chopped pepperoncini and tomato and Penzys pizza seasoning. Bottle of Nero d'Avola. Oh yeah 🍜🍽️

To accompany grill-smoked salmon, my spouse made GF focaccia, a spinach and orzo salad, and a Basque cheesecake with strawberry compote. Cut watermelon also. 🍽️🍜

Our dear friends are moving to Denver, so while they pack up their house, we brought them dinner with a dish I've made for them several times: Cedar Plank Salmon with Rosemary smoke and a caper dijionaise. 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

From my sister's cow: Cube Steak! Never made b4 so I seared and slow cooked with the contents of an undated freezer bag labelled Bourbon Beef Braising Sauce. Added onions, mushrooms, red wine and garlic and topped the beef. Good? Hell yeah, with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. 🍽️🍜

#1 made us a sumptuous Tomato and Smoked Gouda Pie for dinner. Had a Rosemary crust and a ton of garlic. Fully GF too! Chianti Classico went well to wash it down. 🍽️🍜

Spoke with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today and he told me that after drinking Bourbon from a short Bodega tumbler he liked to have the glass filled with Gazpacho with a little feta on top and a homemade cheese cracker. Go figure. 🍽️🍜

My spouse sent me a pic of the breakfast she made. Artisanal Sourdough toast, homemade guac, farmstand tomato, eggs, everything bagel seasoning. Yum. 🍽️🍜

Tri-Tip got a 3 step treatment: Smoked with Hickory and Rosemary for 45m, SV for 6h @ 134F, then a quick sear before turning into sammie's with Henry Bain sauce. Also potato salad and a watermelon/arugula salad. 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

My sweetie's July 4th cocktail 🍸 was a blueberry pomegranate juice spritz with vodka and Cointreau. SHE RIMMED IT WITH POP ROCKS 🎆 🍽️🍜

🤔🤔🤔

Today we avoided the Heat Dome by staying inside drinking Limoncello and Prosecco with thyme sprigs 🍸 though I did run out to 5 Guys for burgers 🤷

Heat Dome Week - Spicy Apricot Wings from the Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Cookbook. I added Feta, just because. Excellent. Bell & Evans wings on sale $11.60 for all these! I paid half of that for the Apricot Preserves 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

It's Heat Dome Week! Keeping the kitchen cool-ish Grilled Salmon with a cold Cucumber Chili Crisp Salad. 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

Spouse made Watermelon Juice Margaritas with Cointreau and a Tajin rim. NGL the 3rd one tasted better than the 1st 🍽️🍜🍸

Early meeting cancelled so I made Egg, Potato, and Cheese Tacos for breakfast. Don't call me a Vegan. (joke! IYKYK) 🍽️🍜

Caprese salad with prosciutto and tequila lime grilled shrimp. These don't really go together except in the stomach. 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

Grilled fish tacos with guac, broccoli slaw, corn salsa, salsa verde, tomatoes and Feta. 🍽️🍜 BBQmunity

I also have two grown children, but my youngest arranged for this #FathersDay #DogsofBluesky

Grilled Boneless Chicken Thigh with a Farmer's Market Bourbon BBQ glaze. Rather than being ketchup-y it featured Oyster and Soy sauces! (and Bourbon) Side of baked sweet potato with butter and brown sugar. 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity

In the last 3 weeks, bookending getting fixed (recovery shown), this asshole has swallowed a whole rubber tipped gardening glove and a (thankfully empty) poop bag, both requiring emergency Vet visits to make her vomit. We love her but Jeez. #LivingTheDream

People probably think we eat fancy all the time, but tonight's dinner was Bourbon, an order of fresh Pork Rinds from a bar down the street, pork chops I got for $1.25 ea. and a pie #1 made with assorted frozen/fresh fruit in a premade GF crust with frozen custard. Pretty good actually. 🍽️🍜

Steak Frites! Grilled 5oz pasture raised beef fillet and air-fried shoestrings. Beef on sale, plus expiration date discount + fries makes the plate $6.75. Can't get a Happy Meal for that. Disclosure: I am indeed Happy. 🍽️🍜 #BBQmunity
