Weekend Cooking & Drinking Thread: Party At the Pony Edition

[BeastMan]

If you're going, check in here. C & D thread needs correspondence. No plans for me grilling this weekend but we'll see what ends up happening.

[BrunswickDawg]

Just spent 10 hours driving from Brunswick to Starkville to move my daughter in for the start of band camp. And what does my want to do? Drive 30 minutes to go to Proffitts Porch. I like Proffits, but damn, I've already driven 600 miles today!!

Where is that? I'm moving one in on Tues.

I'm thinking about making ceviche next weekend. Never made it. Any suggestions?

Lot's of ways to go...last time I essentially made pico de gallo, plus fish obviously, and it was really good. I wouldn't use an oily fish (e.g., mackerel, salmon, etc.); I like halibut, snapper, and tuna...but my favorite is scallop, I think.

[BrunswickDawg]

Outside Columbus near the Lock and Dam. Great sandwiches, gumbo and red beans and rice.

It's North of Columbus lake. If you google it, you'll find all kinds of stuff. They've got a FB page, and their location is marked on google maps.

Edit: I see that I'm about 1 minute late. Glad y'all made the trip BrunswickDawg

They're good, but I'll just stick with oby's and save the drive.

[I seen it dawg]

Fat steak. And I think I've finally hit the home cooked steak as close as you can get to Halls Chophouse in Charleston. Still working on the crust but if I had any idea how to load a pic I'd drop a strip

That's what I wanted to do, but when you married a W girl, you have to go to Columbus or they get cranky.

I'm thinking about making ceviche next weekend. Never made it. Any suggestions?

yes sir. I make it all the time and was taught by someone from Peru where the recipe originates. Get a lot of limes. squeeze the juice and put it in a blinder along with with celery. Blend the shit out of it and then determine based on personal preference as to whether or not you want to strain the celery. put some garlic in there too. this is your juice that the fish will soak in.

sliced red onions , cilantro, are on the suggestion list as well. these items will be in the big bowl with the raw fish awaiting the pouring of the prepared lime juice stated above.

For the love of God, don't buy Tilapia. get you some red fish, flounder or something. chop them up in small pieces. the best spice is hard to find if you don't live in an area that I live in. It's a famous pepper known as Ricato. it's Peruvian and typically can only be found in ethnic groceries. you've GOT to add some kick to it to make it work.

Believe me , if you have some cajun ingenuity inside you, you can make it work. steamed corn and sweet potatoes are excellent sides to this delicious meal. 15 minutes of soaking in the lime juice and your fish is cooked. it is NOT sushi. lime juice COOKS the fish. it is a trial an error type of recipe but if you work at it, you will be satisfied. it does take time.

Picked up a grilled chicken Caesar from Amerigo and now I'm enjoying my new found glory, Rabbit Hole Bourbon on the rocks! Wife had the chicken Marsala and nursing the Meiomi Pinot Noir and I'm trying to talk her into some sex!! I'm thinking my odds at the moment are currently at 27.6%!

Look on the bright side, that's better than 0%.

[Treemydawg]

I put some shish kabobs on the grill with steak, onion, red and yellow bell peppers and mushrooms on them. Grilled some asparagus on the side. Lady friend cooked baked potatoes and home made garlic and cheese bread. Damn fine meal if I may say so myself. Wish I had pics to share.

For married sex that's damn good odds.

UPDATE: She called me into the room for a massage and it was on!! I'm finishing my Rabbit Hole and checking ED.

On my second Jack the Sipper. 6/10 beer, not worth the price tag.

Bucky, may you have good fortune

I took that part out without bread. More meals for the upcoming week to be made shortly.

Just had a grapple and a cherry plum. I'm all in on these hybrid fruits. Couldn't find any cotton candy grapes.

[Bucky Dog]

FYI- not to brag but just hit it two nights in a row! Playing in golf tourney. Went to club for dinner and music. Pork tenderloin and I was hitting the Woodford. She had 3 glasses of Cupcake Pinot Noir and it was on. Like most husband, we try to get our wives dress no for them to have sex. 2 glasses is usually her limit but she had three large and it put her in the GO Zone! Yeah I'm proud and happy right now. If there were a football game on right now, I could die and be a happy man!!

Just you tube last year's egg bowl highlights and tell the wife to get ready to ride space mountain one more time.

Damn son. That's a big-time breakfast

[Dawgowar]

Damn son. That's a big-time breakfast

Thanks. Cool thing - two total eggs, one link and small handful of cracklins- filled all four of those small tortillas. Five minutes cooking time total. Have to make my own. If I go to the local San Antonio breakfast taco joints I'll eat 30 pounds of those things. Not to mention the refried beans they serve like grits. They have so many breakfast taco combinations it will make your head swim. They do not call this place 'Fat' Antonio without reason.

Nice! Have you made much nigiri with your bad ass tuna, I Seen It? I love rolls, but when I've got awesome fish, I also like to have some simple nigiri to really celebrate the simplicity of the fish.

I take a few chunks and dip in a little soy and eat. Love it.

Homemade sushi looks as much like art as it does cooking. Good work I seen It

Impressive skill - would never trust myself to prep sushi.

[rcsteph1]

That sushi looks amazing. Never tried my hand at but that sure makes me want to!

[BeardoMSU]

Tonight I made us blackened pork loin, with grilled tomatoes, cheese and chive grits, and what I'm calling "creole gravy", which was essentially the same sauce piquante I smother shrimp or crawfish tails with....kind of an odd choice to sauce pork with, but it turned out pretty well, oddly enough, lol. I drank a few pilsners tonight while I cooked. Then we watched GoT.
