Weekend Cooking & Drinking Thread

[BeastMan]

It's a big weekend gents. What's everyone have on tap? I'm smoking some wings, drums, and maybe something else for Saturday. I'll take pictures throughout

[CadaverDawg]

I will be making an evening run to the grocery for tomorrow's Gameday foods. Not sure what I will try this weekend, but I'd love to try something new that maybe one of you guys are cooking up.

So I ask EliteDawgs, What's on menu for the weekend cooking and drinking wise?

Oh and if you aren't already visiting the Outdoor forum occasionally, you really should check it out. Not only is it a great forum for everything outdoors...they have a weekly drinking and cooking thread that always provides great ideas for tailgates or grilling at home. BeastMan and the gang have done a great job with that forum, and it's worth the read. Here's a link, check it out....

Now, what you cooking this weekend?

[BulldogBear]

Dunno. Going with my two brother-in-laws to the USM-AppySt. game and we're going to some tailgate put on by one of their employers. I should note however that while he does IT work, the company is a certain food distributer. I'm taking that to mean we'll eat good!

[War Machine Dawg]

Corndogs. Self-explanatory. Doing something different in hopes we'll break The Streak.

No doubt, Gotta have at least a corn dog or two.

I'm thinking about a little deer sausage on the grill too

[thf24]

My crowd for Saturday unexpectedly grew to quite a bit larger than usual, so I'm just going to do hot dogs and sausages. Prior to that I was planning on trying some Parmesan garlic burgers.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm going to the grocery in a little while. I was hoping to pick up some tips on here to mix things up this weekend. Everybody has to have at least one corndog.

By the way, I hope you don't mind me starting one of these threads on the main forum for this weekend. I feel like it is a really good thread each week, and many don't know about it....so I linked the outdoor forum. People are missing out on this forum.

[IMissJack]

Hopefully some free Gumbo and other Cajun specialties that the LSU tailgaters give me.

Good. The more the merrier

[BeastMan]

We'll leave this thread here for a bit until we merge it to it's rightful home. As Cadevar said, we do this thread on the outdoor forum every weekend and it's awesome

[Pollodawg]

Chicken and sausage gumbo or dirty rice. I haven't decided yet.

[Goat Holder]

Don't know yet, but it will be cajun and involve lots of whiskey. I pattern my away game cooking after whoever our opponent is. Probably some boudin for sure. Corn dogs actually sound good although they'll be no cooking involved. Might do a big boil with sausage, potatoes, eggs, corn, okra and onions (I don't eat shrimp unless it's right out of the Gulf).

[RossDawg82]

Im going to smoke a Boston Butt and make some BBQ nachos for the game.

dayum....I like that idea

[DawgInMemphis]

Pan seared Rib-Eye in the ole trusty cast iron skillet.

[LC Dawg]

I think I'll drink bloody marys and Dixie beer and hope some of the corndoggers share some food from their tailgates.

[SpeckleDawg]

Haven't made a grocery trip yet and I'm not really sure what I want to pick up either. I am officially out of all deer and deer accessories. October needs to hurry up!

[BeastMan]

Dry run has been applied to the chickenhttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc473/stoms31/Mobile%20Uploads/20E1A081-BDB9-4CC1-AA33-87DDD6A4D290_zps457h3eor.jpg

I'm making porketta (see below), and if you don't know what that is, you haven't lived life until you've had it. It's a pork butt wrapped in a pork belly and roasted. The skin on the outside turns to cracklin's. It's essentially food porn.

For drink, I've got a watermelon I'm going to puree and strain for the juice, which I'll make lime/melon martinis...We're hittin' the sauce, for sho.

[Dawgbite]

On a side note, I purchased a Himilayan salt block last week. Anybody ever cook on one? Thinking of doing a rib eye but since I've never cooked on one, I might need to experiment before I screw up a $13.99 per pound hunk of heaven.

[Dawgcentral]

I've been trying to decide. Good ideas here. Red beans and rice was something I was considering, but those nachos sound ideal for the first half.

[I seen it dawg]

Gonna eat some Ruth's Chris in BR tonite. Then take what I want at the tailgates tomorrow because it's winning wkd.

That sounds amazing.

[SpeckleDawg]

I've decided on shrimp. Picking up some shrimp, potatoes, mushrooms and whatever else I'm in the mood for boiling tomorrow.

[BeardoMSU]

That sounds amazing.

Indeed.

Got 1" ribeyes on the grill now with my bottle of birthday Four Roses Single Barrel compliments of my little Sis today. All good!

[Treemydawg]

Going to cook a few quail stuffed mushrooms asparagus with some garlic and cheese bread

[WeWillScrewItUp]

Had boiled shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage, and mushrooms tonight. Washed it down with some ice cold miller lite. It has been a great night. Weekend is off to a strong start.

[BeastMan]

Make sure you heat it up with your oven. Don't put it in a hot oven cold, or it will split. It's a really nice tool to have though. Fish really like it.

[BeastMan]

Finished product. Left to right: dry wings, wet wings, dry ribs, wet chicken legs http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc473/stoms31/Mobile%20Uploads/3C9741E6-1390-4040-815B-60026C569EB1_zps5t9g0onp.jpg

I stayed away from my phone/computer for the while game, but the shrimp were delicious. Hail Fricking STATE!!

Saturday night I had LSU luxury suite buffet, drinks, and victory. Best meal I've ever had.
