I threw together a Trifle to take to a New Years party.
Only my second time making one.
Didn't get eaten, so I brought it home.
My son and I are half way through it.

Looks delicious!

Looks delicious!

It was.
A must have at Christmas time for me, Mum always made one.
In 2015 my parents were touring the country with their caravan, so I had to make one for myself.

Time to bring this one back...

My little sister and brother-in-law know I've been really trying to eat better, and get into even better shape. So while I was down visiting for Easter over the weekend, they gave me a Holland Companion grill. They've had a Holland for years, and I love it, just wanted the portable one. My brother-in-law knows me too well, "You'll go spend what most people would on a used car for a mountain bike, but you won't go buy yourself a nice grill." :lmao: I was blown away by what they did, literally speechless.

So today, now that I'm back home, I broke it in with some Carolina seasoned chops, squash and zucchini. Cooks just like the big one, so damn good!

Que?

Que?

Recipe I found online;

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix all that together, and rub it into the meat and let stand at room temp for 10-15 minutes before cooking. Technically, should have said Carolina rub. At least that's what the author called it.

Got a fresh bag of hardwood char last Sunday for a quick grill of some pork loin, gotta get back into "smoker mode" this Sunday. Gonna buy a nice thick slab 'o salmon.

You guys decide what you want yet?

Yeah whatever is on the bottom of the deep fryer. And another beer.

Biscuits on a grill...now that's a first for me. I'm interested in knowing how that works?

 

[EeePee]

Probably like an oven with a fire in the bottom.

 

[hpiguy]

Yep, Hollands cook more like an oven. Way more versatile, but some don't like it because you can't sear like an open flame grill. I personally love it, did thin and crispy pizza tonight.

Grilled London Broil sliced, corn on the cobb and the wifes kick ass twice baked potatoes.

I had a craving for wings this evening, so that's what I did.

I love my charcoal grill, but my steaks seemed to be coming off just "okay", not great. After doing some reading, I figured out that, for a good sear, you really need the coals close to the meat. However, I didn't like the idea of using a chimney and a half of charcoal just to get the coal pile high enough for a good sear on a couple of steaks. So, I made this contraption:

It gets the coals up to the grate without having to use more charcoal that I actually need. I just need to play with the height a little.

Here is the product of the experiment (I forgot to take a pic of steak before I topped it):
