Winds finally died down early evening and the sun came out last night - so grillin' time! I used the FoodSaver to force marinate some pork souvlaki for dinner. On the lower grate, direct over the basket splitter, a small chunk of peach tossed in, as it was going to be a short cook (about 20 minutes).

Plated with some mint basmati, tzatziki,  and a nice Greek salad. My last bottle of Bonny Doon rose. Randall Graham has sold the winery, so I don't know if I'm going to be able to get more? :smt089

This was seriously good. Brought back memories of my trip to Crete a couple of years ago.

A beautiful day yesterday (looks like today is going to be as well - hurray!), so off to the grill. Straight up pasta puttanesca with grilled Italian sausages - main grate, direct, 325F, no wood chunks.

No pic, but I ate one of the leftover snags for lunch today as a classic grinder - sautéed peppers and onions with provolone and grainy mustard.

Last night's dinner was chicken adobo with fried rice. Chicken thighs with Badia Adobo seasoning, direct, apple wood chunk. Initially @ 325F, then flipped to skin side down and cranked up to 400F to get nice crispy skin. I think I nailed it!

Plated with the fried rice, which I did in my paella pan and got a bit of nice crust. The sauce is coconut cream, tamari, sugar, rice vinegar, chicken stock and a LOT of garlic. I liked it!

As the song goes, "Keep on rockin' in the free world!" The morning showers gave way to afternoon sun, so Game On for grilling dinner! Moroccan chicken with couscous. Chicken breasts rubbed with green Harissa and za'atar, direct, over cherry wood, 325F.

Thanks everyone. Being in lockdown just means more opportunity to cook, so you might as well make the most of it. Unfortunately my streak is probably going to end, as we're supposed to get rain late this afternoon into early evening and again tomorrow, so I'll be cooking indoors most likely. Bummed because I had picked up some nice country style pork ribs that I was looking forward to doing for dinner tonight. Guess they'll have to wait until the rains stop. 😪

HURRAY!  The rain held off and I was able to get my country style pork rib cook in tonight - keeping that string alive! Indirect, 250F, smoker pot of hickory and apple wood chunks.

Plated with overly roasted potatoes (not very good, as the herbs were burnt), but the hushpuppies were tasty! The rib was great, very juicy and a bit of a smoke ring. Honestly, this thing was almost a pound and I couldn't finish it.  A nice chunk leftover for another meal!

Ahh, leftovers are always good. :grin: :drinkers:

Indeed. Sliced up and fried like bacon, with sous vide eggs on thick toast. btw - was watching Cooks Country last night and used their SV technique on the eggs = 167F for 12 mins, then 1 min in an ice water bath.
