Let us not forget those who have served and died for us to be free, and those who serve now. God's speed to all.
Day 1 of this freedom weekend.
Dungeness crab, porterhouse on the grill with some BBQ bacon wrap shrimp. :mrgreen:

If you think for a minute that I have friends worthy of presenting with THOSE kinds of spreads, you are sadly mistaken haha! Absolutely fantastic looking grub there, brother!

And X2. Humble and sincere thanks to those that have fought and to those that have died for our freedom and for our security. Your service and sacrifice is greatly and constantly appreciated.

@ BigSki: How did you give 2 Likes on my above post? :???:

I have given multiple likes on a post when my internet was slow.

Interestingly, the opposite happened when I got married. My wife is pretty anti-social.

Trust me. That's not a bad thing. Way less costly 8).
My wife says now, that she has no friends because of me.
Like I give a poop. :lmao:

The rest of us do. ( hpiguy, BigSki, BigSki and 4 others like this.)

Hell if I know, I'm only seeing one on my end. Not doubting you.

We're in the same boat and I don't think it's a bad deal either. We've actually got a friend that due to her constant diarrhea of the mouth, is likely to soon be discontinued as well. Our true friends are part of a pretty short list and that's okay with me. We do just fine without a lot of drama and without the responsibility of feigned texts, invites, gifts, etc.

Hahaha, too funny. :lmao:

Yes, those are dove breast and fresh Italian sausage from the butcher. "thumbsup"

 

[high plains drifter]

Okay... I think that "Judas Priest!" should also suffice. At least that's what I muttered looking thru those last pics. That looks absolutely delicious!

I've made a lot of pizzas over the years but this one from last night was quite possibly the best yet: Hand tossed buttered crust with pesto-infused Alfredo sauce, garlic & herb rotisserie chicken, spinach, onion, bell pepper, Romano, Asiago, smoked provolone, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.

Bacon wrapped petite sirloin and pasta with homemade pesto. The basil was right out of our herb garden.

 

[skinnyj]

About a month in, the garden is going along pretty well...

Already have some bell peppers:

Hungarian Wax Peppers:

Fresno Chiles:

San Marzano tomatoes starting to peek out:

Roma tomatoes starting to form. The two plants I have are already three feet tall :shock:

And a little tiny cucumber:

Not sure how appealing this looks but these were some damn fine Independence Day burgers!

80/20 chuck + 93/7 sirloin, sauteed onion & mushroom ( plus A1, butter, bacon grease, Worcestershire, minced jalapeno, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper), Parmesan, crushed red pepper, spicy mustard, Hellman's, Miracle Whip, and extra-sharp cheddar cheese.

 

[hpiguy]

^^Did you just empty the spice rack on them? :lmao: No offense, but that sounds like so much stuff that you can't even taste that there's meat in there.

 

[high plains drifter]

lol.. Nope not at all. May not be everyone's "taste" but I've found that the trick to producing delicious results is in the amount of each spice and ingredient used. The flavor of these burgers were fantastic but there was no single ingredient that stuck out nor overpowered the finished product. Like the sauteed mushrooms... The A1, butter, garlic, bacon grease, jalapeno, etc equaled maybe 20-25%. This produced a very flavorful yet subtle blend to compliment the prominent taste which was that of the onion and mushroom. Same with the other ingredients... very small amounts of several different things can really make the difference.

Something else that works for me and gets rave reviews from everybody, is my guacamole. One thing that I do differently than a lot of restaurants is to very finely chop the onion and jalapeno. Tomato is a little more coarse but still chopped small. The end result is a guacamole that has a much more blended and consistent taste instead of a big taste of onion, pepper, etc.

In soups, stews, etc... I like to chop things more coarsely and keep things more evenly distributed but in some dishes it really pays to accentuate with a variety of flavors and blend flavors more evenly through each and every bite.

Yes, I know... I went WAY too far into this lol!
