Recently Consumed

I haven't done one of these in a while. So perhaps it's time for another recently consumed post. We've been eating fairly simple and grilling and smoking quite a bit. The Missus loves roasted vegetables. But man, it's been so hot….I really don't feel like having that oven on. So what we've started doing is roasting vegetables on our Weber after a grill session. It's get's nice and hot. I'll get some of the small wood chips and soak it in water and throw it on the charcoal.

Using the carry over heat form the grill session, this works out real well. You just need to stage the vegetables.

I'm finally finding the time to cook a bit on weekends. So the Missus get's Her fish again. In recent weeks, the Monchong at Catalina Offshore has been excellent.

But it was the sculpin that Tommy told me that I "had to get" that was the real winnah! I seasoned it with cumin, harissa, ghost pepper salt, etc….. Dusted it with potato starch.

Good lord this was good.

The Missus likes organizing potlucks at work….easy to do when I have to do the cooking, right? So they recently had a Mexican food themed potluck and the Missus had me make my Carne Guisada (with chicken).

Now folks are asking for the recipe……they must have enjoyed it. The Missus came home empty handed.

And, like I said, we've been using the smoker a bit.

I hope everyone's been eating well!
