Weekend Cooking & Drinking Thread: March is Here Edition

Burgers and deer sausage on the grill

Got some tilefish from Wegmans today; never had it, so I decided to get fancy.

So we've got a parsnip puree, with pesto. Next to the fish are roasted broccoli florets. Surrounding the plate are carrots, broccoli stem (which I quick pickled), and cilantro leaves. On top of the fish is a "pomme maxim" (a fancy French term for a layered potato chip). It was pretty good. Tonight I've been drinking gin and tonics, but I may switch to single malt after this glass....

Damn son

Prime strip and homemade fried rice. First time and it was outstanding if I must say.

Great sports day for us. Men and women roll and we get a big baseball win. (Footnote to C34)

I had a gastric sleeve on January 24. The good- Lost 74 pounds since I went on a Liquid diet January 3.

The bad- only started eating non-pureed food yesterday (including baby food). Reading this thread is real food porn.

Horry sheet

Move to Thursday night stogies. This one was a Padron 2000, and a dang nice choice. I had my local shop, the Humidor in HSV, send over a 10 pack sampler of full bodied robustos. Washed down with two O'Doul's premium, non-alcoholic malt beverages.

Awesome! This makes me happy, Sap. Enjoy the stogie, bud.

I had to look up what a tilefish was. Where do you find them and what would you compare it to?

I had never heard of it, either, they just happened to have it at my favorite grocery store. The fish guy compared it to grouper, but I thought it was more like swordfish. White fleshed, flaky, but firm.

Dammit Sapper, making me miss that shithole.

Boiled shrimp night

http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...psdj1raq2y.jpg

Damn I miss having fresh shrimp... that I could actually afford.
Wife and I are making up a big batch of Beef stew tonight.

Co-worker is retiring after 25+ years on Tuesday, I just finished preparing 10(100lbs) of butts to smoke for the retirement party at work Tuesday. Sat down and opened ED for the first time today and saw this thread. I will post some pictures tomorrow when I put them on the egg. Also got a case of beer in the cooler and to help with the all nighter tomorrow I've got a 33lb sack of crawfish and a bloody mary bar setup. I'll get some pictures tomorrow if I don't get too deep in the crawfish and cooler!

Guys thats what I'm talking about. If we could get more of y'all posting over to Outdoor Dawgs about what you are cooking that would be great.
Yeah we all come here for great sports discussion, but I'd love to encourage other topics too. We have too many good cooks and outdoors people who could share their experiences and creations.

Still a shithole, but with less to do. We are crammed on small bases that we abandoned years ago, and the Iraqis are doing all the fighting. Our day is literally spent in four places: hooch, gym, dfac, office.

I will post a full, unclassified update for those interested based on our first two months.

Obviously never caught any but I know it's a deep water fish that is typically caught with electric reels. Supposed to be some of the finest eating out there. I think it's a high mercury deal like swordfish so you shouldn't eat it often but it's not easy to get.

ETA- There was a thread years back on the hull truth were 2 guys from BSL took a 20 or 22 ft cc waaay offshore for an overnight trip where they deep dropped for pelagics. The 2 things I took from that story was (a) one hell of an adventure (b) they had some balls to do that in a small boat.

I am enjoying it so far.

Found a local Palawan made IPA. Not bad at all, especially for the price.
