Welcome back, @Basher! 

[Basher]

Thank you peeps.
We are limping back into home with much Reno work yet to be completed.
The dry aging fridge is our every day fridge until the cold room is built back in on Monday, the outside is incomplete, the rooftop garden is yet to be waterproofed and landscaped, we are moving boxes and trying to clean up our other house.
All in all thing are pretty ugly around here just glad to get a cook up on the KK….. and the Parilla.

Here is part of the kitchen.
I’ll post some more tomorrow.

A modern look Basher, unique inset counter and cabinets and cut out look/function to the counter...top show. Were these your ideas?  Nice

With these ribs I prepped them first by laying them in a sheet of Aluminum foil and dousing them with enough Japanese BBQ sauce for absorbtion. Wrapped up and placed in frig for 2-3 hours. They come out a nice soft brown in color, then a rub called Saucehound sweet/salty and well balanced. It's a rub  you can use on beef, pork, chicken or fish....find it on Amazon however they only have it in the small shaker, I generally order the 5lb bag and divy out shares. At the 3hr point I wrapped in a combined sauce of Go-Chu-Jang, Sweet Mirin and a sweet Ginger Sauce for a little heat. I removed the ribs after 30 to 40 mins  and placed back on the grill for some more sauce to set.  Beautiful colored ribs and the taste was there too. Layers of flavor

2 pieces of Salmon done two different ways, one a little spicy, the other with a sweeter side. 1/2 lb of scallops baked/sauted over the coals with some garden dried herbs, garlic and butter. Curiously the scallops were $28/lb not far from port, is this comparable to your area? Just thought it was high for market price, a good treat though.

I saw some Grade A scallops at Costco for over $30/lb I think. I'm not sure that's apples to apples since I'm not sure on the details on where they originated from but they looked pretty good.

Sometimes things just go oh so right and this one of those cooks. Chicken thighs, rice cooked with chicken stock and white Miso, steamed carrots that were just recently pulled from the garden before they froze in solid and peas picked early in the season then blanched and frozen.

Thank you, Tyrus.

BBQ in the dark (pictures are not good but why not).  Just basics.  4 pork butts, 4 chuck roasts on bottom.  Bad Byron's Butt Rubb (mustard binder) on the pork.  ACV and montreal steak seasoning on the beef.  Beef and Pork BBQ to send to my brothers-in-law up in NYC for the holidays. Turned out great.

Looks good johnnymnemonic, that's a lot of meat!  Are you sending it by mail frozen like Porter Road? Can I put my order in?

Thank you troble, I see you haven’t backed off on your cooks…. And we’ll photographed.
Here’s a sneak peak at the new kitchen.

Poured concrete Benchtops.

Still plenty to finish around the edges

QFC, one of our grocery stores around here (Kroger), carries some Berkshire Kurobuta pork chops. I think most people don’t realize how good they are. Often I’ll find them on close out because they are reaching their sell by date and the store is trying to get rid of them. Sometimes the cut isn’t all that great and they aren’t worth it. But these were excellent cuts. Got them for $12 a piece. They turned out to be the best piece of pork I’ve ever had. I marinated them for about 5-6 hrs in Kinder’s Teriyaki with sesame and ginger. Glazed them a bit at the end of the cook which was done on indirect at about 275F, then once they reached about 130F internal I turned up the heat and placed them on the hot side direct to get a little char. Then placed them back on the indirect side abd brushed more sauce on and let glaze. Pulled them off at 142F internal and let rest. Talk about meat candy.

Found an excellent seasonal beer also. Great flavor with the spices and orange peel it was brewed with.

Beautiful thick pork chops @CaptMorg82.  I agree, chops can be super delicious.

@Basher it looks like all the angst and hard work has been worth it.  Great that you will be back home and able to enjoy it for Christmas.  Congratulations.  Snagging lists take a while to clear but what you have shown us so far looks gorgeous.
