MacKenzie Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Fri. I went on a day trip to get some special meat and beer. Came back with both and a combination of the two. The meat market had beer bacon, the beer was an IPA made by my brew-master friend so I just had to try that.:) This was tasty breakfast, ck peach jam, purple crack and beer bacon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I've never seen beer bacon before, but I love the idea of it!! How was it? Could you taste the beer after it was cooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) I loved it and actually I did think I could taste the beer hops. This one is for you Tony. I can't remember what hops were used but I'll ask my friend and see what he says. It has a wonderful aroma though. Tony, that beer was called FLR - Front Line Rocker DIPA. It's an 8% DIPA brewed with 50:50 Citra:Simcoe hops. The aroma as you put the glass to your mouth is stunning, loved it and the taste.

tony b Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Classic hop combo for a big IPA like that. Should give off big citrusy aromas, with some hints of passion fruit and even some piney accents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 This was a quick dinner, haddock, fries and fresh tomatoes. It is that time of year around here, starting to clean out the garden. These are some of today's squash pickings. I grabbed a quick shot of a poppy that was blowing in the wind at my friend's yesterday. Needed to make some tartar sauce for dinner. My tomatoes are just starting to ripen, these slices came from a tomato that weighed almost 1 pound. Fish on the KK. Plated. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Wow great looking meal! I love tomatoes eat them every day. A 1 pound tomato would last for a couple of days LOL. Once again Mac your photos are wonderful. Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks, Bruce. This is the first year I've had this tomato and I love the taste. Planting this one again next year. It would do for 4 burgers at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Nice looking tomato, MacKenzie. We're in the middle of a late heat wave here - it's been in the low 90s for almost a week. It's confusing my tomato plants; they're starting to bloom again. Fingers crossed that this second, late batch of tomatoes ripens before we get our first frost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Tony, the same thing is happening here. I expect it will abruptly end this coming week. I can see a lot of very green tomatoes in my future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Wanted to something differently today so decided to make mac and cheese in the rice cooker. Turned out nice and tasty. Only had white cheese on hand so that is what I used, 2 different cheddars. For the ribs I just needed to sauce them and warm them up. Added some crispy onions and set the dish under the broiler for a couple of minutes. The sauce was one of those leftover sauces that I made but didn't label. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 A friend asked me to do up some Canadian bacon for him. He brought out 2 pork loins. Here they are on the KK. I used the KK smoker. It does take me awhile to get it going but once it going it's going! I can't believe I didn't think to take any sliced pixs. I did cut a thin slice of one of the piece to see what it tasted like. I knew it smelled tasty but just had to make sure before I delivered it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Made some ketchup today using a recipe CK posted for me. It is quite good I just need to tweak it a little for my taste. It is a keeper. Tomatoes for ketchup. The bigger tomatoes all weighed 1 pound or just over. Now i needed dinner for the ketchup. OctoForks for the chicken breasts. Chicken and Fries. Earlier I dehydrated some of the Tiny Tim tomatoes. Cut and ready for the dehydrator. Edited October 2, 2017 by MacKenzie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
