Weekend Cooking & Drinking Thread: IT Is Coming Soon Edition

[BeastMan]

Andy by IT, I mean football season. As fun as the offseason has been, the real season is right around the corner. I will have to do some grilling and cooking this weekend to get back to season form. Stay tuned....

[BeardoMSU]

My weekend started Thursday, so I made us some ramen using leftover pulled pork. We're going to our local dive tonight, so I'll probably have a burger, washed down with a Narraganset. Right now I'm drinking a Negroni waiting on the boss to get home.

Little Dooey's tonight. May fire up the grill tomorrow if it'll ever quit raining. Almost 9" this week. And no...that's not what she said.

[RougeDawg]

Liquid only weekend. Red Dress Run is tomorrow in Nola.

[SpeckleDawg]

Stuffed jalapenos on the grill with Basil Hayden as an appetizer. Filets and shrimp on the grill next with a little Shiraz.

[Spiderman]

A Corona light and a dip of Smokey Mountain Fake snuff tonight

[Howboutdemdogs]

Marinating a pork loin tonight, which will be sliced and stuff with cream cheese and chopped chives, wrapped in bacon and grilled for 3 hours very slow for Saturday. Also, brining ribs now, which will be rubbed 24 hours before smoking for Sunday night. Boudin and deer sausage will be grilled both nights to snack on as the Jack D flows.

Same as a lot of tailgate and LFL menus we have,,,,,all is welcomed!

BTW, most die of heart attacks in my family,,,,I wonder why?

I think I just pissed myself from laughing Beardo,,,, also Speckle seems to know the single barrel Bourbon.

[Bucky Dog]

Ok so I'm predictable! 2 Woodford at the house after a 15 mile bike ride with the wife. Amerigo for dinner and had the cedar plank salmon and she had the chicken acuto. Coppola Chardonnay with dinner and now enjoying my Rabbit Hole Bourbon.

[BeastMan]

Just got stretched out in the mancave. Blantons on the rocks and High Plains Drifter on the tube. Cooking for my folks, inlaws, grandparents, & siblings tomorrow.

[BeardoMSU]

Now I'm watching Eddie Murphy's Raw, on HBO, and drinking a cocktail I call "the apiary", which has honey, bourbon (using Blantons), and lemon peel.

I passed raw and almost stopped but went with a little Clint Eastwood. I see we both went for Blantons. I'm not totally sure we aren't already friends irl tbh

This my kind of thread

All this mention of Blantons made me pull some out too.

Making a fish dip for tonight so I thawed out a bull red and neatly trimmed it. Just hit the smoke. I'm using the Jim Beam Barrel Aged Oak chips for the first time.

After an hour at about 220. I flipped one filet over so you can see the contrast. Some folks call for longer but you'll turn your fish to jerky. For me, this is perfect. A ton of chips, heavy smoke, short time

My son's coming home from working in Michigan this summer. I told him I'd get him a douchy, pretentious microbrew from Texas to drink. I got him this:

According to the microbrew expert at Specs in Ft. Worth, it's a 10% that drinks like a 5-6%. Told him to watch it, or he might get knocked on his ass. He told me that in Michigan, there's 12% beers.

The Gumbo

[Coursesuper]

Keeping it simple, burgers that got a nice Tony's rub, then a good bath in lea and Perrin with a touch of makers mark for good measure. Also some sausage fill mushrooms and country pride smoke sausage going all on the grill in about an hour. Drinking 30-A Beach Blonde to warm up.

[jbjones]

K-Roger/Columbus finally had some single rack ribs. Got 'em rubbed, wrapped and ready for the 6 hour smoke ride tomorrow. White cans, pint version, while we wait.

Homemade chicken and dumplings

My Grandma made the best chicken and dumplings, I bet everyone can say that though.

My wife makes better homemade chicken and dumplings than either my mother or grandmother. Been sick with the crud all week and she made them for me Tuesday night.

[BrunswickDawg]

Just me and BD, Jr. tonight, so I threw together some red beans and rice. Tossing back an old fashioned Bud heavy to make the meal complete.

[BeardoMSU]

Absolutely.

[SpeckleDawg]

A little good stuff while getting burgers ready for the grill. Bacon cheeseburgers with saut?ed onions on top.

My better half surprised me with a new tailgating toy today so there will be smoke in the air pretty soon. Right now I'm enjoying the crickets and some woodford reserve.

Wow. That's awesome.

Blackened some ling tonight. With scalloped potatoes, and a wine butter sauce (with capers and chives). Simple and delicious. Started drinking wine, now on to bourbon. Watching the Cowboys.

Thanks, dude. Yep, definitely one of my favorite gulf fish; surprised to see it at the market, but had to buy us some.

You know, it's funny you say that. My mom is no gluten and my BIL is no dairy. So I did the shrimp and salsa for them with corn torilla chips. I did an olive oil garlic sauce for one of the redfish instead of garlic butter lemon.

My brother is moving to Denver to practice law next week so we did a family fish fry before he left.

That's a major league spread. Hands down best of the thread.

Nice job on that fish. Got distracted last time I blackened some salmon - not pretty.
