Looks good. I sometimes wrap cooked and cold burgers and cheese in puff pastry.

I've been pretty absent from the site but logged in today to look something up. I greatly enjoyed Larry's company the day we had an Oklahoma meet-up for a barbecue tour. I was going to smoke pork country (loin) ribs on my gas grill for dinner tonight but we have workers in the yard making that awkward. I logged in to explore a CSO option instead.

A friend of mine, Sally, is on the program this season. I thought she was a member of this group but could not find her in a search. If you want to read about what it is like to be a competitor see her blog, https://bewitchingkitchen.com/

I was so glad to be a part of this trip. We had many great experiences in addition to the amazing dinner. I particularly enjoyed the Farmers' market. Thanks to Alex for organizing and to Chris for the report.

For everyday meals I don't use a recipe and only make 2 servings at a time. I like a little crumbled blue cheese or Gorgonzola, a little buttermilk, a little mayo, shredded carrot and finely sliced cabbage. I've been meaning to try @kayb's jail slaw but haven't yet. If I'm entertaining (which I rarely do anymore) and have time for a lot of prep work I like this: Apple Cowboy Slaw adapted from http://www.cdkitchen.com Serves 8 105g mayonnaise 3 TB fruity vinegar 2 TB sugar 3 TB coarse-grain brown mustard ¾ tsp fine sea salt ½ tsp black pepper

@Smithy - thanks for the link, I guess my search skills on this site have gotten rusty @kayb - thanks for your kind words. Life is generally good but I am very busy. My new "hobby", being a community activist and organizer seems to be taking up all my time. I still cook most nights and bake all our bread but rarely try a new recipe or do a complicated menu. Looking forward to seeing you in July. -
Count me in for the dinner. I'm not a sports fan so probably won't go to the game. Any other activities being planned?

Thanks for the reply. I had a great trip - one of my best eating trips ever and that is saying a lot! I had Lucky's on my list but didn't make it. I haven't been on egullet for the last year and a half because I have a new more than full-time volunteer job - political activist and community organizer. I still cook dinner from scratch pretty much every night and bake all our bread but have probably only tried 2 or 3 new recipes in all that time. I noticed your new tag line regarding steaks. I spent $40 on a "Wagyu" rib eye at the farmers' market a couple weeks ago. It looked the p
