Troble

@tony b sounds like you might’ve had a case of the munchies 

@MacKenzie I’m sure your schwarma was delicious wish I could d sampled it 

@tekobo first off 58 years of marriage is something to celebrate. Both your meals looked divine 

I take a few days off and you all go nuts cooking so many tasty dishes the last few days. I ate In N Out today and had some takeout sushi and chicken quesadillas this week ☺️

AJR I have always found the smoke a better flavour the day after.
It definitely changes over time- greater depth.

Good BBQ is always better the next day. At least when it comes to pork butt and brisket.

@AJR I couldn’t imagine not having the rotisserie I absolutely love using it any excuse I can. Btw I love grilled pineapple and Hawaiian chicken that looks tasty!

@MacKenzie that was poolside lunch and then leftover dinner. It was about 90 today so the wife wanted something light and healthy. 

Chicken schwarma with Mediterranean salad and Tadziki 

@jonj perfect pizza! Nailed it 

@AJR it’s my favorite as well. I’m lucky San Diego is a tuna town....right now all the fisherman are selling direct to homeowners since restaurants are down. You can go to the dock and buy fish literally fresh off the boat. It’s $10/lb for yellowfin tuna....that’s insane.....two years ago when the water was warm and the tuna were jumping into boats it was $5/lb for most of July. Bluefin is $15/lb....(which is the price for bluefin nigiri piece of two at a sushi restaurant). 

I make this dish all the time and people think it’s fancy big it’s just ahi on top of soy sauce with a drop of siracha. Takes 5 minutes and is crazy cheap 

@Basher I booked it the night before in water, white wine, police oil, sweet onion, celery, carrots and salt & pepper and dried basil. Then I put it in a bag overnight with salt & pepper, white wine, garlic, olive oil and dried basil....I’ve always loved octopus over a wood fire and I have fond memories eating it in the Greek islands in 2007, so when I saw it staring at me I said “WTF! Why not I can cook anything in my KK”. So I bought if it was only about $23 for 3+ lbs, and I watched the two YouTube videos and kind of combined them. Turned out great. Will definitely do it again....next tine will sear it on lower grate but overall it was a winner

Grilled octopus

bluefin tuna sashimi w/siracha & soy,

wild Alaskan king salmon with quinoa (carrot, celery, sweet onion 

grilled zucchini 

Super hot out today so that calls for some fresh seafood. Bluefin tuna with a dollop of siracha above soy sauce, Japanese yellowtail with jalapeño and soy/lemon sauce. Peruvian ceviche with aji amarillo Leche de Tigre

Getting ready for my first Brisket 😅 8,5 kg US Wagyu Texas style, wish me luck 

That is a beautiful piece of meat. Excellent trim! Good luck with that bad boy 

Pizza night 

Nice work @Steve M!

@MacKenzie - looks like a restaurant meal! How’d it taste? Did you enjoy the beef rib?

Looks like you're ready to step up and go for the Peking duck challenge.

You didn't taste it, the chef always gets the first bite. 

Long story...I was supposed to cook it Sunday abd my plan was to smoke it above my pork butts but my day got turned around Sunday and my brother couldn’t come over till Monday so I cooked it/served it while I was feeding my kids and giving them a bath.....plus I’ve tried duck a ton it’s good but it’s not really my thing. I like duck fat and I’ve liked duck with like a port wine sauce but I didn’t have time for that 

I’ll try the duck next time the point was to make something for my brother that he could rage home cause he doesn’t cook

Troble, looks like you nailed that duck.  

Thanks I need to work on my knife skills with the duck, should’ve been plated better. My brother loves duck I made it for his birthday...I didn’t even eat any of it I just saved the duck fat 😀

Smoked duck with orange juice & maple syrup glaze, served with baked potato 

Smoked two 11lb bone in pork shoulders. Homemade Cole slaw

I threw some thai chili sauce and siracha in the foil when I let it rest. Then I tossed it and hit it with more siracha and Thai chili sauce...dusted with brown sugar, spritzed with apple juice finished in the broiler to get some crispy carmelization at the end....delicious
 

forgot to take photos of finished product and on grill but these babies took a long time to cook. Wanted them for lunch....turned into early dinner 

Cheeseburgers...including two “beyond meat” burgers for my vegan sister in law. 
 

pizzas for dinner. Cheese, Hawaiian, vegan veggie, pepperoni, pesto & grilled chicken, basil & prosciutto 

@Basher what beach is that? I spent a bunch of time in Byron Bay back in 2007 and also spent time in Noosa when I was down in Australia for 6 weeks. 
 

and for the record Red Snapper is one of my favorites. Love both those dishes shown

Crickey Troble, you have taken that lighting to the next level

@BasherThe ultimate plan was multiple layers of light. The candles really helped finish but I have to tell you I wasn’t adamant on the step lights till I saw yours installed but they really are a nice touch....

still waiting on solar/roof/battery/EV chargers permit from the city. They rejected the first one so we had to resubmit and wait another 6 weeks. Once that’s done we can do that project, tent the house then finish installing all the citrus trees. Right now I got a passion fruit, orange, lime and lemon tree sitting on my side yard in pots that I’ve been watering for the last two months 

Lights in the steps got installed and wife decorated with candles. 

@qundoy that looks awesome nice job 

Welcome! Looks like you’re off to a great start

Tasty looking lasagna, Troble.  

Thank you. We put zucchini and carrots in there to try to get the kids some veggies. I’m sure you spotted the zucchini 😀
