Weekend Cooking and Drinking Thread

[BeastMan]

It's the dog days of summer. No idea what I have on tap. Hopefully some Outdoor Dawgs have some big stuff going on so I can live vicariously through y'all

Well, since my Jeep transmission died this afternoon, I thought I would drown my sorrows in good eats. Took the W Girl to one of her local favorites - had what they call the Charleston Saut?. Fresh Georgia shrimp and country ham with a file gumbo over creamy grits and fried okra. Matched it with a Shiner Ruby Redbird.

Dude that looks awesome. Love that Shiner. On an unrelated note, one of my best employees ever just worked her last shift and when she told me bye before she left, she cried. Stuff like that keeps you going. Investing in young people, seeing them flourish, and then be appreciative is incredibly rewarding as an employer.

Fianc? is moving into our home this weekend. It's going to be a scorcher. Got it ready to load tomorrow. May have to fire up the grill and feed the help a burger tomorrow evening.

Picked up 30lbs of shrimp today to boil tomorrow at the Neshoba County Fair. It's going to be a hot one, as usual. Nothing special tonight, just beer.

Gonna do some yard work and cut some trees down before the rain gets here. Got some frozen crawfish from the last boil of the year and trying to figure out something to do with them. I usually do cakes with a cream sauce, but I've been wanting a big ass potatoe with all kinds of stuff in it. Some kind of mad scientist meal with crawfish will be done by weekends end

Down in south MS this weekend visiting the folks. May get some bedding bluegill action on in the morning.

Damn that's awesome. Neshoba Co Fair... Have a buddy who hid a beer in the middle of the square last year and said if it was still there, he was drinking it this year. It was there.

Bet that was tasty. NCF #29 for me this year. Just as fun as always.

Probably the best smoked tuna dip I've had. From Tay's BBQ. Who would have thunk a BBQ joint in the Jackson metro kills it like this... They told my dad it's 100% yft

Very nice work Speck. I bet you are quite the popular guy bringing it like that!


We did steak night at our house tonight

Grilled some salmon for the first time and roasted some broccoli. Topped off with my new favorite hot weather beer.

Did you use cedar planks for the salmon? Game changer...

I don't own cedar planks. I just saw the salmon in a market and thought I'd try to grill it. Marinated in a little soy sauce and garlic. I'll plan to get some cedar planks. I'm currently heating the grill for some Sunday evening grilled oysters.

Not much cooking action for us...spent the weekend relaxing at our cabin on the Chickasawhay river in Greene County, MS.

Did manage to get in one good cook....elk schnitzel. Pounded these out from a bag of tenderloin I had.....if you don't save the tenderloins from your deer, or "inner loins" as I have seem them called, then make sure you do next time just to make these. We served the basil vinaigrette on them..crunchy and delicious. Basically, just cut them across the grain in about 1" medallions, pound them flat with a smooth tenderizer, then dredge in flour-egg-panko. Fry in olive oil until crispy.

The Chickasawhay and the Leaf rivers come together to form the Pascagoula River in Merrill, MS.
