CeramicChef Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Last night it was dark and stormy. Severe Weather Warnings all over the great State of Oklahoma. And once again, the City of Moore, OK was hit by a tornado. I'm convinced there is a fundamental force in the universe unknown to physicists that exists in Moore and trailer parks that just attracts tornados. Moore has been hit by tornados more times in the past 10 years than I can count. In any event, my soon-to-be-Granddaughters were over last night and wanted me to cook for them. You know the outcome on that deal. They wanted hamburger steaks and roasted potatoes with a tossed salad. Nothing else would suffice. And the weather was no excuse. Just pull Beauty! under the covered part of the patio and get cooking! SWMBOI just looked and laughed. Here are the potatoes going on Beauty! I just toss the small golden potatoes in some olive oil, melted butter, S&P, crushed Rosemary and Thyme, and a dash of Cajun seasoning A buddy of mine makes. It only takes about 20-25 minutes in a 400F kamado. The spuds are placed in the back to get them away from the direct heat. I was too dadgummed lazy to use my heat deflector. I also wanted just a wee bit of color on the taters. Here is the end product of that tater roast. Just as I took the taters off, here come the screaming tornado sirens. I know that the danger is 15 miles south in Moore. We have the best severe weather meteorologists in the world here in OKC. It's Moore getting hit and where I live all we have are strong straight line winds and BUCKETS of rain. Thankfully no hail. So, I sally forth back outside to put the hamburger steaks on Beauty! I get drenched in the process because I don't want to walk through the garage and dodge the cars hiding from the hail that never showed. Here are the hamburger steaks sitting pretty on Beauty! And here they are as they look when they are pulled off the grate. Finally, here's the money shot. All in all a very simple but wonderful meal. SMWBOI was happy, Cailey and Gracie were happy, and I didn't catch my death of cold wearing wet and cold clothes. Thanks for looking. Please remember the good Citizens of Moore in your prayers as they rebuild, again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very tasty They are already talking about how to decorate "their" room! LOL! I told them they were going to have to earn their keep around here and that meant cleaning out ashes from cooks, scraping grills, loading charcoal, learning the fine art of cooking on a KK. They just smiled and said "Okay!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Great looking meal. A trooper for cooking in the storm. Thanks, Charles! As for being a trooper, I must confess I had Beauty! Under the eaves of the house! LOL! I'm not nearly as dumb as I look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 We get them too! Just too early for us yet. We've had our share of F5's in this state. Little town of Parkersburg, IA got completely wiped off the map by one a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
