Weekend Cooking and Drinking Thread: Baseball is Back Edition

[BeastMan]

Opening weekend at the Dude is always a welcome event. I've got some grilling on the horizon but nothing too crazy.

Happy for some baseball, but rough start. Grilling some chicken and veggies, while drinking Eagle Rare.

I've never had Eagle Rare but have got to try. I've been on a scotch kick here lately

Its good. You'll like it.

I think I have the menu for tonght nailed down. In laws coming over so I'm cooking for for a few extra. I marinated chicken overnight and made 2 kinds of skewers. One is a basic chicken, onion, pepper skewered and the other is chicken wrapped in bacon that will get a sweet glaze (50/50 yellow mustard & honey with a touch of granulated garlic). I'm going to attempt to recreate a salad I had at uncle ernie's in PC. Probably bake some sweet tater fries too.


INSALATA ROMA
An authentic Italian salad of fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes & roasted sweet red peppers, drizzled with olive oil, garlic and romano cheese.

If I was, I'd pop in for a visit.

Just fired up the grill. My brother who lives in Sarasota just texted me that he caught 2 gag Grouper, a few sheepshead, and a pompano from his yak today. I'm jealous

Salmon on the grill, red potatoes on the grill, purple hull peas with smoked sausage, and ciabatta bread to eat. Drinking.......a German dopplebock and a Bigfoot so far. We have an Alexander Valley Pinot to have with dinner. There will be a good Isla Scotch afterward, probably Caol Isla tonight. I will probably sneak in at least one more beer sometime tonight, maybe an Old Rasputin or a Mississippi Fire Ant.

It's birthday weekend for the W Girl. We are doing brunch at her favorite restaurant in the AM. Tonight, I pan cooked a couple of tenderloin steaks and fresh scallops finished with a champagne butter sauce, roasted some red potatoes, and threw together a Caesar salad.

Now I'm working on finishing off the bottle of champagne and may grab a slice of Haydel's King Cake I had overnighted and arrived just in time for breakfast this morning.
