Mrs Meshugana was making meatloaf a couple nights ago, so I offered to smoke it. Truly loving my Green Mountain Grills pellet smoker with WiFi control...

 

Dinner was outstanding. She made gravy with the drippings. 
 

For lunch the next day, sliced and fried the meatloaf in butter and made open faced sandwiches. 
 

Btw - it feels good to be back!

I'm sorry.  Did I miss my weekend invitation?😁

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

Must've gotten lost in the mail. Although, NJ is a long ways away, even in 'pre-pandemic' travel hours...

No worries.... just get the next one here on time.😅

This is how saturday laziness looks like:

 

Oven fries & fried eggs for dipping. An odd sausage for extra protein 🤔

As a fresh accompaniment Gazpacho from the veggies in my fridge. Despite the minimum effort the family was happy ...

Not actually true.    In France, we were joined by friends at dinner.    As I translated the menu , the husband could find nothing on the menu he would eat.   I finally came to andouillette.   "What's that?", he asked  "A kind of sausage." I answer.    "Great", he answers, "I love sausage!"    "Excellent", I reply.     He commented that it was the "strangest" sausage he'd ever eaten.

Nope ... its a “Feine Bratwurst”, so a fine pre-boiled sausage (spiced, but not cured, though). Texture is a bit firmer than a Weisswurst, and it is made from pork alone. Tasty ...

We took my sister and my brother in law out to a neighborhood bistro in the 20th Arrondissement in Paris some years ago. He wanted something “different”, so I suggested the andouilette, that was advertised on the blackboard. When some time later the server approached our table from behind him, he looked up and said “Wow ... someone must have left the toilet door open”. He soldiered through the andouilette, which was very much on the offal side of the spectrum, but refuses to discuss his experience until this day ...

A couple of decades ago Andouillette AAAAA was listed on the chalkboard of a bistro across from Notre Dame.    We decided to enter because of that offer and because several guys exiting told us how great their meal had been.    We were seated (in the English speaking room) and I ordered the A. AAAAA.    The waiter said, sorry, they were out.    I was disappointed and switched to some equally disappointing cotes d'agneau.    Only recently has it dawned on me that the waiter just sized me up and, protecting both me but mostly the house, refused to take my order.   Sure, I've had some Andouillette that made you rear back, but done right, like in white wine, they are interesting and delicious.

Whoever was the original of posting the zucchini carpaccio recipe I have to give you all the kudos for the idea.   So I copied it.   I also had some nice Bluefin tuna flown in from Maine, made a carpaccio with that also.    

 

Zucchini from my garden, salted, then tossed with lemon rind, lemon juice, sea salt, EVO (a really nice brand), pignoli, shaved reggiano and basil from the garden.   It was fantastic.  Genius combo and again kudos to originally posted it.  The key is....is to get a bite of everything because it just works so well together.

 

As for the Bluefin tuna, I got from Browne and Trading Co in Portland, sliced it into carpaccio, then drizzled with EVO, lemon, sea salt, cracked pepper, capers and sunflower seeds.

Ohhhhh that looks so wonderful!  And the tuna.   I so wish Ronnie liked sushi....  I think the combo you did sounds like the perfect summer meal.  I'm so glad you tried it :)
