ckreef Posted July 24, 2016 Report Posted July 24, 2016 My sister and BIL came to visit so me and Mrs skreef took off work for a week. I'll use this thread to chronical what I cooked for them. Won't be a lot of pictures but I'll try and take a couple for each cook. . Friday night me and Mrs skreef where home alone so I started our time off work with a pizza fail. Pepperoni looking good. . Had the Blackstone at 500 so I figured 4 minutes. At 2 minutes everything was looking good. Then I stepped inside for a moment and got distracted (it's at this point I blame Mrs skreef for the distraction). When I went back out it was at 5 minutes and the pizza had burnt. Lesson for the day - Never walk away from the Blackstone when there is a pizza on board. . Saturday sister and BIL arrive. I had baked beans going on Prometheus. We grilled some smoked pork chops on Cassiopeia and served it with a summer coleslaw. . More pictures coming as the week progresses. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 2
MacKenzie Posted July 24, 2016 Report Posted July 24, 2016 Looking forward to them:) So far everything looks tasty even that so called burnt pizza looks good. 1
CeramicChef Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 Charles - great beans and pork chops and slaw! And if you wanna send that pizza out west, I'll eat that bad boy. Beautiful pics, great cooks. Your relatives are lucky, lucky, lucky! Looking forward to seeing more. 1

ckreef Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Posted July 25, 2016 Today (Sunday) we went out to eat lunch at a Mexican restaurant and had a really big lunch. Everyone wanted a nice light dinner. . Stuffed scallops on Cassiopeia and dwell in the shell lobster Tails on Prometheus. Served with a side salad. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1
CeramicChef Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 Scallops AND lobster! WOWZERS! Very nice. Kudos (again!) 2
Shuley Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 They all look good so far. For smoked pork chops， do you do a reverse sear kind of method?
ckreef Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Posted July 25, 2016 They all look good so far. For smoked pork chops， do you do a reverse sear kind of method? There is a large pork only butcher/smoke house not far away that sells smoked pork chops. Work buys them from time to time when we're doing a retirement party etc... and gets a really good deal. Me and a guy I work with ordered a bunch under the special work deal. . 70 smoked pork chops cut 3/4" thick for $120. I took 20 of them. Grill for about 5 minutes per side. The best tasting smoked pork chops I've ever bought. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Steve M Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 I think we may be related and would like to schedule my visit Those lobsters look great, do you go high heat to get the nice char?
ckreef Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Posted July 25, 2016 I think we may be related and would like to schedule my visit Those lobsters look great, do you go high heat to get the nice char? Direct at 500* with a good bed of coals. 4 minutes per side (for these md sized tails) and no more for a perfect md well. Any longer and you start entering the rubber stage. If it was a large tail 5 minutes per side Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1
tony b Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 Smoked pork chops - Hmmm, - might be another good use for the cold smoker attachment headed my way! 1
ckreef Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Posted July 26, 2016 Monday we went to Andersonville, Civil War POW camp. We then swung by Lane Packing to grab lunch and let my sister and BIL check out the Peach packing system. . We came home and cooked plain risotto, green beans and rotisserie chicken.

MacKenzie Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 I think you better be careful, your company may set up camp at your house if you keep feeding them like that, Beautiful. 1
