Had some lean ground pork so decided to make pork cheese burgers for dinner. Pickled peppers from this summer's garden. Caramelized sweet onion on burger. Plated.

Lamb soaked in Balsamic for 5 days and the last day rosemary and thyme were added. The leftovers make great sandwiches

It was the final challenge in a 7 month grill challenge series that was Covid-19 themed. This challenge was basically an attempt to recreate a multi course (3 course minimum) restaurant meal in a time when many people are still not going out to eat in restaurants. In the end it was a very relaxed, drawn out meal for me and Mrs skreef. Mrs skreef still has to do her challenge cook so we have another multi course meal coming in the near future.

Good to hear from you again John B. Care givers are definitely cut from a different roll of cloth, a strong tensile with a charming pattern. I lost my Mom in August, she would have been 100 next month. A former Marine, actually of the first group of women Marines inducted at Camp Pendleton in Ca WW2. I hope things become a little easier for you from here on, I know the trip your on and it's not easy so do your best and hope for the best.

We will be looking forward to Ms S's cook.

Scored a nice flat iron steak at the market, so onto the KK it goes. Sear grate, with mesquite, post oak and coffee wood chunks. Rub was a mix of Shut Shot Sid's Gunpowder and Lane BBQ's Brisket. Plated with melting potatoes and sautéed green beans, with mushrooms and chimichurri for the steak.

I never really understood or appreciated how much of a sacrifice caregivers make to care for others. I now have the utmost respect and admiration for them. Quick story..... My Mother is 91 years old. She was able to live by herself in Michigan until a couple of years ago, when she started falling. My Sister, who lives in Iowa (by Tony B.), retired and would spend summers with Mom in Michigan and then take her back to Iowa for the winter. Last July, my sister's husband died unexpectedly and she had to go back home to handle everything. I stayed with Mom in Michigan into August and then brought her back to Syracuse for a few months. In mid October, she went back to her home in Michigan and my sister rejoined her. These next comments are not complaints but instead expressions of respect for caregivers. For three months, my life as I knew it.......changed. Almost every minute of the day was consumed with caring for Mom. Came home 3 times a day from work, preparing meals, doctor visits, regulating her medicine, shopping for her, helping her move around from room to room, checking on her during the night and just spending quality time with her. Again....not a complaint.............as I would do it again in a heart beat............but Holy Crap what an eye opener!!! Caregivers are Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my first time back to the forum since June, I'm finally getting caught up at home and work. I didn't BBQ much over the summer, as Mom was not a big fan of grilled/smoked food. Forget about the boating season. Now I'm hoping to start on my KK repair project for Dennis. Don't think I will ever take spare time / down time for granted again. If you know a caregiver....thank them......offer to give them a break.......do something nice for them..............it is a stressful and many times a thankless job. I call and thank my sister all the time now Went to Michigan last weekend to give her a break. . My hat is off to caregivers!!!!!!!!!

Pork my favourite type of burger,especially wrapped in smoked bacon yum.

Siu if you want quick easy cooks then gas is your answer. If you want better tasting and versatility in cooking numerous different styles of food.... and also a piece of artwork in your yard then get a KK. Yes it’s a little extra effort to light a fire. The extra work is worth it for better food. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
