alimac23 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Oh my that was tasty. How did you like it with the Grapefruit MacKenzie? I find either a yellow or pink grapefruit goes extremely well with a G&T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pearson Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Nice cook Mac! As usual lol. 102 degrees wow hot hot. We think it’s a heat wave here if it gets to 90 lol. Ok Mac doesn’t care for fish, Tekobo’s not into chicken breasts I’m not a big fan of broccoli so I’ll never show it being cooked on my KK LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangles Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Tangles, it was hot, too hot to do much more than sit in the ODK and smell the cooking. I am in Nova Scotia, Canada and there are lots of summers when we don't even see 30C and if we do it's only for a day or two. This year is exceptional, we have had heat wave warnings out for weeks. I have a theory - the spring was miserable cold and wet with frost right up to the end of June. My garden went in the latest ever and I thought it was doomed. I also put in an irrigation system. The weather gods took pity on me and said OK she has gone to all that trouble let's give her a hand and make it really hot to speed up the growing process. That's my theory. I am hoping it doesn't come to a crashing end with an early frost. Your garden looks fantastic Mac. I wish I could have one just as nice. I did have a large vege patch and chooks but it was getting too much to maintain with kids. They used to love helping me out but it slowly grew out of them. I succumbed to their desires for a pool. I like seeing the different varieties of vegetables you get there. Very nice. Ahh... it’s Canada not UK.

Congratulations, tekobo. Washed and ready to go. Clafoutis in the wings. Oooh. I am very happy about that Mac! You won't regret buying the pan. It is good for muffins, Yorkshire puddings AND clafoutis. And will outlast any of us alive today. Best of all, you almost never have 7 guests and so there is usually at least one extra pudding for you or, if you are feeling super generous, one of your guests to munch up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not v expensive at all when bought in the US https://www.amazon.com/Lodge-L7B3-Cast-Biscuit-Pre-Seasoned/dp/B00063RX7O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1533381837&sr=8-2&keywords=lodge+muffin but it looks like it is £54 if you buy from amazon in the UK and $89 if you buy it in Australia.

MacKenzie Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I made the trip to town and picked up the grapefruit. This time of year they only had pink, so pink it was. I can't pass up the pulp. Yummy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, tekobo. Include me in the KK Shopping Network. Mine arrived a few days ago but I haven't gotten it seasoned yet. One can't really have too many devices.

MacKenzie Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Remember those chicken breasts the other day that tekobo raved about well here they are again. The last of my Lebanese Mountain Bread put to good use on a hot day. I need to make more. It is great to have on hand. I opened the fridge and took out every bottle, dish I could get my hands on for this wrap, including pickled chili pepper. There is mayo, tarragon mustard, relish, red onion, lettuce and orange pepper. Then came the chicken and the purple crack. Roll up the devil sandwich and we have lift off. and that's why there are chicken breasts. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 You left out the single best reason to own one of those Lodge pans - biscuits, child! I've owned mine for so long, I can't remember when I got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to google a photo of an "American biscuit" to figure out what you meant. Yeah, you can add scones/biscuits to the list of things this versatile pan can do. I think Lodge should give us a cut of their profits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonj Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 The Alabama brother-in-law was passing through last week so I made dinner for a small family gathering. Started with some corn and mushrooms. Cranked up the KK, added some top sirloin, evo and seasoning, seared the sirloin, let it rest, then sliced (some of it; kept the rest for later). Plated the lot with heirloom tomatoes, loaded mashed potatoes, baguette and some Cabernet. A good time was had by all. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 @tekobo - the problem is ya'll don't speak plain English! And, a true Southern biscuit is NOT a scone, honey! It's so much better than that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlausVanWinkle Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) My old, meat-loving partner was in town and staying with us this weekend. So we ended up grilling Friday and Sunday, and went to the local BBQ place on Saturday. Friday night I grilled some sweet sriracha marinated jumbo shrimp, garlic bread, peaches and burrata, and summer squash skewers. Saturday we had brisket, candied bacon, smoked chicken wings, mac n cheese, greens, buttermilk biscuits, etc. Sunday night, we had friends over to see my old partner. And I loaded up the grill more than ever before (corn on the deflector plates, lamb and ribs on the main grate and chicken up top). We grilled 18 lamb shanks; a rosemary/garlic rubbed, spatchcocked, heirloom chicken; corn for a miso roasted corn salad; half a rack of ribs; watermelon, mint and feta salad, and fresh artisan bread with some 2010 Coquelicot estate sauvignon blanc. I really recommend that winery if you're every in the Santa Ynez area. I swear this was a candid photo. And last weekend, I grilled a rack of ribs, peaches with burrata and mint, garlic bread, and yellow beets.
