editor Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 So, who's cooking outside this weekend? And what's for dinner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonmather0 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I think we'll do some burgers and roast corn tomorrow night. Still trying to decide if I want to mess with the charcoal grill or cheat and use the gas grill.I've also been meaning to smoke a pork butt sometime soon and I still have a fresh frozen brisket in the freezer. Maybe that will be next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I kicked my grill and it broke. Today is Mother's Day at my grandma's house. I think we're having ham. Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Believe it or not I have Schwann's out here cooking for us right now! They brought a whole truck full of stuff for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Well we just piced up a bunch of crabs from Alex's in Pirates Beach.Taking my first stab at BBQ Crabs. It's either going to be great or ghastly. If they are too bad we can always head over to Cyrstal Beach. They are having a Crab Festival today and tomorrow.

KimberlySayWhat Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Mmm, I want to come over to one of your homes. I'd love to have some grilled stuffed jalapenos, some good BBQ chicken and a turkey dog. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Inch thick ribeyes on the grill. Served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and purple hull peas w/ bacon.Care to post that peas recipe? I've never had purple hull peas.I just made hamburgers. They didn't come out all that good. The meat was too lean, but it was all they had at the store.I tried that Heinz organic ketchup. It's pretty good. It's runny, and tastes a little different, but not bad. Just different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Purple hull peas are kind of like black eyed peas big brother, and a little more purple and green, whereas black-eyeds are more tan.As much as I can't stand Heinz or Kerry, I love her Ketchup !!! Only the 57 variety will do though, no ORGANIC, that is blasphemy ! Edited May 10, 2008 by TJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Today is a rare day off from grilling. Last weekend was a smoked chicken and smoked pork ribs. Tomorrow will either be burgers or steak, depending on the Kroger specials I see. Gas is blasphemy! Grilling should be dirty and smoky.

mikeybob2 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Flatiron steak from Kroger and shrimp on bamboo skewers from HEB.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nothing on the grill. However, I am thawing some chicken to stew up a pot of Brunswick Stew. Since I no longer live in Carolina, I have decided to attempt to adapt the recipe for the Gulf Coast. So, instead of pork, I bought some boudin to mix into the stew. We'll see how that works.

jm1fd Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Care to post that peas recipe? I've never had purple hull peas.It is SUPER simple. Take a good 6-8 strips of bacon and chop it up (preferably the center cut stuff with more meat and less fat), and cook it over low heat until it is just starting to get crispy. Drain 95% of the fat offTo that pan, add the peas (about 4-6 cups, fresh or frozen but not dried), and add water until just coveredAdd garlic salt to taste (or you could use real garlic and salt)Bring to a boil, then dial the heat back to a simmerCook until the peas are just starting to get the tinest bit mushy, and have lost that raw flavor, usually 30-45 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
