Happy New Year to you All! Spent yesterday evening making Mai Tai jelly shots for our NYE party. Tasted one this morning. Wow! I think we are going to have to set a two jelly shot limit. The tequila pannacottas are pretty good too. I think I need a lie down.

Scored this pack from a butcher for 20 dollars new years eve burgers yum.

Ribs for dinner last night. 325F indirect with the smoker pot with coffee and apple woods over coffee charcoal. Half the rack got slathered with Dinosaur Mango Habanero sauce. Dry rub was a mix of Dizzy Dust and Dr. Cimarron's. Plated with roasted potatoes.

Funny thing happened just now. I had been cooking a Boston Butt since 7:30 this morning while Mrs skreef was at work. When Mrs skreef got home from work she asked what I'd been doing all day. I told her cooking the butt and moped it. He face lite up thinking I had moped the kitchen floor or something stupid like that. I laughed when I explained I had moped the butt with a vinegar sauce. She should have known better.

Braved the 10F windchill last night to grill steaks - Denver steaks from Porter Road. I should have left them on the grill a few more minutes, as they were very rare. Still super tasty and tender though. Plated up steakhouse style with 2x baked spud and creamed spinach, with a nice blue cheese mushroom sauce.

Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for the tips, encouragement and abetting in 2019. Wishing you all health, wealth and happiness in 2020. In whatever form that takes. At this point, there is a brisket on the 32KK and I'm about to put on some Indian lamb chops on the 19KK to the recipe of the legendary East End restaurant 'Tayyabs'. I'll take some pictures but given my wife has been mixing cocktails and misread my writing where I said 1:1 as 2:1, the vodka ratio is shall we say 'a little strong' and my competence with the camera may decline dangerously. We'll struggle through. It's bitterly cold but bright and sunny in the UK today. I started BBQ'ing with three layers on. After 2 cocktails, I'm walking out in a t-shirt and going 'meah, it's not that bad'. 🥶

This is a classic case of you don’t know what you don’t know. 10 years ago I bought a Weber Summit grill for $2k. My buddy swore up and down it was a waste of money. I explained that I had spent more than than that in 15 years on grills that didn’t last. I should have just spent the money once. He said his $400 grill was just as good. 3 years later his grill was rotted out and he bought a Weber. My Weber lasted 8 years and was in great shape when I sold it for $600 and bought a Lynx. He then argued with me about Tvs as well after saving money and buying a Visio. That tv lasted 2 years before having issues I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for but some just don’t understand that concept. My KK is better than my KJ and completely happy with the upgrade.

To be honest, I haven't mowed my own lawn in over 25 years. As they saying goes, "I have people."

LOL you mean everybody does not have a maid, gardener and driver full time? Ahh the joys of third-world living! Who cleans your grates when they are greasy? And you thought I lived here for the fun and sun..

Will start breaking out the bubbly in a couple of hours with the hors d'oeuvres. Happy New Years, Everyone!! 🍾🥂

That's one way to spend New Year's eve day, I hope you get up in time for the big event. Happy New Year.

Happy new year also to everybody! Steaks to bring the new year in - can’t look at Aussie’s burgers as I will get food envy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And the same to you and yours.

And happy new year! Just cranked the bbq on myself for some steaks. I hope the fires stay away from your side - my area is getting hammered right now!

Talk about being amazed, those ribs are over the top awesome looking and I'm sure they tasted the same.

Definitely a different turf for surf and turf. Looks delicious.

Great looking first cook after the burn in.

Nice job. Next time, can we get a pic of the pizza on the grill??? We LOVE food porn here! btw - nice Shun knife! I'm a junkie for Japanese knives - own several and keep buying more - yes, I have a problem!!

You constantly amaze me, MacKenzie!

I think I need to do pizza.

looks delish great cook

NICE cook looks delicious!

Ground some wheat berries this morning to make 100% whole wheat pancakes. Only the bacon was done on the KK. Those pancakes soaked up the butter and good old maple syrup. I haven't forgotten you, CK.

Dark Autum Gold Flake is the color.

Turned out well mixed this with the Cray.. .. The ribs turned out great..And plated yum.. Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

What time do we come over? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Friends over tonight. Two boned out pork shoulders. One seasoned with green, black and purple peppercorns and chillie. The other is kid friendly. That’s an apple in between them for air circulation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To end our Star Wars marathon we had indulgent lamb rolls with gravy - lamb shoulder I brought back from Sydney. Monsoon season here so it is a bit hard to work the machine - it was easier on the balcony! Saw the latest Star Wars today at the cinema - was good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
