Just got back from a weekend cruise. Needed something light from what was available in the fridge and freezer. Chicken tortilla soup

Mine was a little more aerodynamic with the full wing minus the wing tip.

Tonight was a rather simple dinner. An airline breast cooked on the pizza steel on the grill with a baked potato. The steel work really well. The breast was barely 160 and pinkish, juicy, crusty and tasty

Rules are something’s crazy. Sounds like that chk was killer. Bottom line the chicken scored with you “Love the one your with”

Leftover chili and rice. Salad of diced beets and fresh mozzarella with a balsamic dressing

Tonight I made crab cakes with leaf salad and beet salad. Used the dregs of a cut avocado to build the salad dressing

@BonVivant you had me at chard ribs

Also a fan of the Dizzy Pig products. They are a stable in my cabinet. Spent an afternoon with Chris and the Dizzy Pig folk under their tent during a BBQ contest in Lakeland a few years back. We have a mutual friend. The BGEs were stoked

Always sounds better in French. Looks delicious

Raamo, that looks great!

A friend who owns a couple chain BBQ restaurants does a lot of good will cooks using his mobile pit around the area. Recently did one for his synagogue and the briskets were kosher, had excellent marbling and were fantastic. Some of the best smoked brisket I’ve had

My Jap knives are Tojiro and other non discrip carbon steal varieties

Nothing to to about Kosher. Carry on.....

Doesn't ring a bell, not that I could remember. Lamb's Eat Shop , oh yeah. Big slices of roast pork

I have a big container of MSG which I'm not afraid to use

Lunch was a few bites of lasagna followed by an OGD 114 Old Fashioned with a Cuban cigar. Carbo loading. Have a play to go to tonight.

SCO what else. I got to Memphis in '78. My to be wife was at Memphis State in the audiology program. Eyes and ears. Don't remember the Cupboard. Silky Sullivan oh yes!

More Memphis memories. A few of my friends/classmates from Optometry school entered the Memphis in May BBQ contest. Must have been around 1979 or1980. I think it was the 2nd year of the event. This Jewish boy knew nothing about the pig but I was just starting to get into cooking for myself. Hey it's organic chemistry. We came in 2nd in pork shoulder. Served on a cheap paper plate that was limping over as we fed the judges, one who one of my class mates was hitting on. We were drunk as skunks on beer at turn in time. It still has me wondering how we did so well given the odds

I remember Grisanti's when going to school there in late 70's early 80's.

This morning egg on sauteed beet stems

Boneless chicken thighs do really well cooked in a smoker. Other than that I'd stay on the bone

Never seen it under $19/lb I’ve purchased a couple times. Still needed a little trimming. Some parts can be gristley

One of my favorite chipotle condiments is canned chipotle in adobo blended smooth with guava paste. My Dad's family was in Mexico City in his youth then Tampa, now they are all back in Mex City. Chipotle was always a stable in the house. That and pickled jalapeño's

Finishing up the last of the current Cobia supply Seared Cobia with fennel and avocado the fennel was the star. Sweet and delicious

@ninagluck I want to know more about the filling. Looks delicious
