Last week I did nt have my usual yeast or flour and I had a hard time getting the KK up to high temp due to excess ash in the bottom. so This week I picked up my usual flour and yeast and I cleaned out the charcoal ash and I turned out some magnificent crust if I do say so myself

Oh yes, all veggies right out of the garden this morning. And the steak was from Previties, it was real good 😁

Tee hee. The stuff of nightmares for @MacKenzie. Red mullet cooked on the KK with tomatoes and potatoes cooked in my Alfa WFO.

Well the veggies are done, summer squash, zucchini, red potato and some sort of purple string bean that turns green when you cook it. There is also some assorted spices and herbs with a little broth. The next steps sear the steak 😁 and a little topping for the veggies 😁

Jon we are caught in this construction supply chain problem. I am told we move back in a month…. In time for our summer. If I knew it would take this long I would have dragged the bbq out of the back yard and bought it with me. ……. I’m building bbq desire…. The new kitchen won’t get used!

I see that you wasted no time in opening up that new bottle of Gunpowder! Well done, sir!

Poor puppy! Glad that he's recovered, but not so good that he's on those meds now!

I’ve gone both ways. I buy all of my spices from the spice house, and still make some of my own rubs. There are some really good commercially available rubs out there, and I find it difficult to compete. The choices are endless, and when you find one you like, it’s consistent. The commercial ones are always coming up with something different also. Heath Riles, Elk Creek, and Dizzy Pig are some of my favorites. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You know it's been so hot lately you cold have put those veggies on the back steps and they'd cook themselves. Going to have to check on that Hanover store, if it's closer, I'm in. Did all the veggies come out of the garden?

Thanks to everyone for the info. Sorry I’ve been out of touch. We had to rush our 13-year-old goldendoodle to the veterinary hospital for an emergency splenectomy Tuesday evening. Thankfully, he survived a very risky surgery and came home yesterday. The first sign of a problem, ironically, was a seizure in my office a few days before. Blood clots were the cause of all this and he is now on Plavix and Xarelto, among other meds. Quite an ordeal.

did some yakitori today, outdoors. its a lot of work. deboning meat, cutting the right size, skewering, babysitting the food. slow cooking but nicely paced and perfectly portioned.

It’s Tri-color quinoa from Trader Joe’s with sautéed sweet onion, carrots and celery. It’s a staple in this house i did not catch the salmon but I bought it directly from the guy who did! It comes from the border of CA/OR a big fad from where I live but the season is in full swing so the boats are coming back full of wild salmon and bluefin tuna

@MacKenzie, I'll eat the fish if you will eat the quinoa!
