Weekend Cooking & Drinking Thread

[BeastMan]

As y'all noticed 2 weeks ago when I did the cleanse, you'll notice this weekend I'm still dieting. I'm now doing a keto diet. Ole Beast Man needs to get back to his old self... This is today's breakfast and lunch. Breakfast was a 4 egg omelette (2 whole/ 2 white) w/ cheddar cheese and a link of deer sausage. Lunch was 10 oz of grilled chicken with saut?ed spinach. I'll be fishing Sunday so I'll have that report too...

Interesting....I listen to the Tim Ferris podcast, and he talks about this alot. Are you testing your urine with the strips to see if you are in ketosis or not?

Still working out the menu for the weekend, but I did start shooting a recurve bow.....liking it so far.

Picked up two new bottles over the last few weeks. Will post a review shortly.

Got beef tenderloin marinading (olive oil, soy, salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic...just something I made up). Should I put it on the grill or do the hot iron skillet thing?

Put equal parts (give or take, your preference) of sweet vermouth with that rye whiskey and a dash of bitters, couple cubes of ice - kick ass manhattan.

Not sure on dinner but my drink has been decided.

Still at work, hopefully be home for next weekend. Been able to catch some small tuna and had some sashimi last night. Watched a boat pull in a big sail fish this morning right after watching about a 30ft whale shark swim around. Ready to get back and do some cooking though. These threads kill me

[Dawgbite]

Dos Equis and a turkey sandwich on sour dough for lunch. Not cooking tonight, going out. Beef ribs on the egg tomorrow unless I go to the baseball game in Vegas. If I go to the game, it will probably be a late dinner at Anthonys on the way home. Last night was 18yr old El Dorado neat with a frozen chicken pot pie, gotta have priorities.

[reno hightower]

Guess my pic via UrL didn't post.
.hmm

Anyways, glass of blantons before tonight game

Dude, fresh sashimi sounds amazing. I'd be like a kid if I was seeing whale sharks and sailfish at work

[PassInterference]

Cooked those two marinated 8 oz fillets in an iron skillet. First time to try that. Gas stove High heat, 2 minutes on top, 2 minutes on bottom, 2 minutes on each outside edge. They came out medium rare.

It's was the best steak I've ever cooked. I'll never grill steaks again. Because I like a little rarer than MR, next time I might do 1 min on the outside edges or skip that part.

Tried a Bell's Oberon beer. Wheat beer with some hops. Good flavors, way too filling or heavy. Back to tequila shortly.

The cast iron sear method is tough to beat imo

Seared elk eye of round medallion steaks served on cheese grits with sauteed field peas and a BBQ sauce reduction.

And my favorite beer of summer. Oh yea.

The whale shark was a first. I had saw a while a few days earlier in the distance and assumed that's what it was. But then it came pretty close and I saw the spots. Ive seen a lot of sea life but that's up there with the coolest.

If I ever open up a wild game restaurant, I'm cutting you in for menu development purposes...


Btw on the keto thing, I'm not doing strips but I can all but guarantee I'm in ketosis by what going in. I'm still lifting 4 days a week and my average day at work is 11k steps. I've never been able to do keto b/c I absolutely crash energy wise and get weak and miserable in the gym. This time, I'm supplementing with MCT oil and it's been a game changer. I don't feel carb depleted in the gym. Joe Rogan's podcast gave me enough info b/c he's doing keto and all the MCT oil talk was enough to get me reading about it and then try it.

[SpeckleDawg]

Chicken and veggies on the grill.

Grabbed a 6-pack of this at the store today and put it back for something else. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

Deal on the eat house.

Have you tried bullet-proof coffee to help with the crashes? I was making it diy style with coconut oil and grass fed butter for a while. Tastes fine, but I didn't stay with the program long enough.

MCT oil is basically refined coconut oil. Coconut oil is 60% MCTs (middle chain triglycerides). MCTs are the only fat that converts in your body into readily available energy. So it's basically the same thing. I'm using OnIt's emulsified MCT so it mixes with coffee or water effortlessly. I got all 3 flavored (Vanilla, coconut, and strawberry). I've done the vanilla exclusively in coffee, strawberry exclusively in water, and the coconut in both.

It's another tequila sunrise.

Pass the Gatorade.

Going hard in paint broseph. I like it

[Uncle Ruckus]

I haven't been able to drink the stuff since a trip to Mexico over ten years ago. Then I was introduced to Agavero. If you haven't tried it and you're a tequila guy, I encourage you to do so.

[BrunswickDawg]

Shining up my mint julep cups for the afternoon. Going to toss some bought off the dock shrimp on the barby this evening. Pics later.

[Uncle Ruckus]

Any luck? You must be on the south side with the water like that

[BrunswickDawg]

Quick marinade of worchestershire and siracha - but not much so that the flavor wasn't overwhelmed. Basted with butter at the turn. Can't beat catching a shrimper offloading and grabbing a couple of pounds of 40s for $6 a pound. Even popped the heads off for me. Dinner slept in the river last night.

That was actually on the North Side, near the West tip. Water looked great out there, especially after wading in GPT this morning. Didn't catch anything, but catfish out there, but that's what I was expecting. I did catch a few trout early in GPT.

Doesn't count unless they have a laser show with it.

[SpeckleDawg]

BBQ chicken breasts, pineapple and corn on the cob on the grill for a late dinner. Elijah Craig and now some more Dale's Pale Ale to drink. A long, but great day today with some solo fishing, family beaching and eating/drinking.

[BeastMan]

North Beach in BSL. Grilled platters

I admire Beastman's willpower and he would probably scold me today. Copious amounts of pepper jack deer sausage, pork chops, chips, dip, wings, hot dogs, chicken legs, peanuts, Natty Light, etc in the outfield today. Capping it off at the hotel with more Natty, Diet Coke and blueberry Pop Tarts. Still hungry too.

[WeWillScrewItUp]

Went home this weekend for Mother's Day and let dad handle the cooking tonight. Crawfish pie sand twice baked potatoes. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a558/lancedale88/20A99890-26FB-4F19-B68E-540AD845E106_zpsvsbxjfwr.jpg (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/lancedale88/media/20A99890-26FB-4F19-B68E-540AD845E106_zpsvsbxjfwr.jpg.html)

I had 2 easy eggs over toast, grits and corned beef hash for breakfast. Kinda what I do most mornings. Pretty boring, but it's quick.

http://tibbee-creek.com/images/bfast.jpg



Went fishing and set a few lines, and on the evening patrol I collected 4 decent catfish. I've got about 40 hooks out, so I might be busy in the morning. Got a deer backstrap thawing in the frige for tomorrow. Lots of possibilities. Open to suggestions.

Dude I'm a bread fanatic. When they brought out the bread with the seasoned olive oil, it was a tough. A beer would have been outstanding. I'll give myself a cocktail next weekend but I wanted to get 2 weeks by the rules before I cheated. My boat food tomorrow is tuna fish salad... Never done that before

[Uncle Ruckus]

Do you like it there? I've been twice and had bad experiences both times. My in-laws love it and always want to go there. Bacchus is my first choice, but they don't like it so we usually compromise on Tripanis. Also, when is the last time you had the Hollywood buffet?

[SapperDawg]

Working on a big finish to a great weekend. I carved two TRi tip steaks out of my elk, and decided to break out the old kettle to grill these up. Made a mole sauce last weekend, and am working on turning part of it into a tomato based and mustard based BBQ sauce. These are the first two experimental batches.

Got a limit of reds today. I'm just getting back to the metro so I'll do a seperate report thread later. MIL's Mother's Day activities now

[BrunswickDawg]

Sapper - that is an impressive presentation.

Beast - nothing better than a haul of reds.

Wife wanted fillet tonight. So the girls got fillet, I got a t-bone, the boy got a pork chop (he doesn't like steak - I debate sometimes if he is mine). Filled up the Weber with twice baked potatoes topped with smoked Gouda and bacon, fresh squash and zucchini, and straight form the farm Vidalia onion roasted in foil with a bullion cube. Topped it off with my first Sam Adams Summer Ale of the year in my Sam Adams perfect Pilsner glass.

Looking forward to this report - I am living my fishing plans vicariously through you guys this spring. A colicky newborn is adversely effecting my outdoor activities.
