LarryR Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 EDIT: I have no idea how I posted this in the Cooking General section, sorry. It's my Bachelor weekend as SO has taken her monthly trip to care for her mother and for the first time I'm having a tough time deciding on what to cook for myself tonight. On one hand a nice thick rib eye med-rare with a good bottle of Zin sounds divine, yet it's such a short cook. On the other hand a couple racks of baby backs would be a nice short smoke on Hestia that would give me plenty of time to enjoy some adult beverages and admire her as she works, decisions decisions. Or I could always go with Fish Sticks right doc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 When the cats away..... Choose something that you enjoy eating but your SO won't touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshly BBQ'd at the Super Market................. (Fish Sticks???????) I know that I am going to regret this but I just couldn't walk past the isle of neatly stacked "Professionally BBQ'd Chicken"................

LarryR Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Booze made my decision So let booze make my decision for me. I'm in the mood for Tanq. and Tonics and Cab. vs. Beer so I went with a 20 oz boneless rib eye and some jumbo scallops. I'm going to do a baker on Hestia so I've got a little extra time to admire her (and drink) before I cook my steak and scallops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryR Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I'm sure it will. Decided I wanted to eat dinner late since the SO won't be here bitching asking when dinners going to be ready so I whipped a a seafood dynamite and threw it in the toaster oven thing as an appetizer, god it smells good. Second gin and tonic going down smooth, got coals for Hestia going and will be salting my steak soon. Perfect guys evening . . . well almost perfect, where are the dancing broads? Clothes will remain on Damn that was good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I need to parr it with something.............. T Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryR Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 What a great meal/evening, took my time (no one home to rush me), enjoyed my beverages, turned up Sirius Classic Vinyl, spent quality time with Hestia and cooked a great meal. Let Hestia warm-up over the span of 2 - 3 hours and cooked my baker, after I let my seafood dynamite settle and enjoyed a few beverages I grilled my 5 jumbo scallops (forgot to get pictures), let those digest with the help of more adult beverages. Then cranked Hestia up to around 600/650 threw my steak on for 3 min. each side removed to a plate and let her rest for 5 minutes while I prepared my 1 lb baked potato, poured myself a LARGE glass of Cab., threw some Worcestershire butter on my steak and cut into her, perfect med-rare with a great char on the outside. Outstanding! Steak was on the high end of choice so it had some decent marbling and I salted it for 50 min. If you're not salting your less than prime grade steaks you're really missing out. FIRE! LOVE my Worcestershire butter! PS - I think the silence is speaking volumes about the Super Market BBQ'd chicken, lol. In honor of your "cook" I think I'll spatchcock two roasters today. One Simon and Garfunkel and one BBQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
