What a hell of a busy week for me. High School football in MS is back so it's about to feel like fall. Not sure of the plans but I'm sensing some bourbon on the horizon for me this weekend.

Sous vide ribeyes, fresh corn & baked potatoes. Some Dieselpunk Honey Amber and Rex Goliath Pinot to wash it all down.
About to bust No Way Jose wide open.
Sculpin and Elysian Space Dust IPA, smoked chicken wings, pork tenderloins, and a rump roast to slice into sandwich meat.
ETA: Jammin out to My Morning Jacket Pandora radio.
High school football is back -
So kick off the season we ate our traditional pregame meal at the world famous Willie's Wee-Nee Wagon on the way to the game. Had a pork chop sandwich, fries and sweeeett tea. Now I'm sweating it all out in 90 degree heat and no sea breeze watching Benedictine from Savannah maul Glynn Academy.
Live shot of my meal I'm cooking my staff. 4 pans of baked ziti and some garlic bread. The red ring around the edge is my xtra gravy secret

Gonna slow smoke a deer tenderloin and veggies, while pairing with some mezcal. First time pairing deer with Mezcal. Typically prefer bourbons and scotch, but Mezcal is growing on me.
If your able to try some Allegro bbq sauce I highly
Recommend it. The spicy is the best iAttachment 2877
A cooked another staff meal today. This was my bowl. Sautee pan mac n cheez. Reduce heavy cream and liberally add shredded sharp cheddar (stole that recipe from a Starkville joint I used to work for). The chicken was breaded identically to how I'd do chicken parm. In another pan I made a sauce with butter, garlic, oregano, Basil, and honey. When the chicken was done I tossed it in the sauce to completely coat the chicken. Finishing touch was chopped thick-cut Wright's bacon. Came out well. You had you're creamy, savory with the pasta. The chicken was your crispy texture & hint of sweet. Bacon was salt.

Wife and I had ribeye I marinated since noon yesterday in basic stuff. Sea salt and pepper, garlic and a small bit of spicy mustard rub. Soaked in Lea and Perrin with some Allegro smoke! I just opened my Weller white label bourbon she bought me for our anniversary a year ago. My wife is about to get laid!!
My father-in-law is visiting us this week. Today was his last day, so we drove up to Plum Island for the day. Pretty gorgeous day...and we met a gull with no ****s to give, lol.

Picked up some nice scallops on the way home from the fish guy. Sauteed 'em, and served with carrots, tomatoes from the garden, and a wine-butter sauce.

My 3 yr old learned to cast on his own this weekend and had a blast catching. We kept a mess of bream and a couple catfish. Fried them up tonight with fries, jalape?os & black eye peas. A margarita (cause it's hotter than hades down here) and a couple Sculpins make it even better.

The glistening is not sauce. These are dry rub.
Reposado Margarita and steaks for Friday night. Caveman style. Just meat no sides. An Orin Swift Papillon to start then an exclusive Marke Wines Biliv Cab to chase the steaks.

Last night hit my fav local spot Chianti Restaurante. Straight Italian. Pollo alla Milanese with tagliolini spinach pasta with a tomato cream sauce with mushrooms and prosciutto. Orin Swift Equinox club Commute Red Blend just outstanding. Chased at home with some Frangelico on rocks.

I had a dish last night at my fav local place. Pollo Alla Milanese. Pounded out chicken lightly breaded and saut?ed with a brown butter herb sauce with a hint of lemon. Any hints on getting it this way as far as the light breading and sauce? I'm a kitchen am when it comes to breading things and saut?ing.
Nice looking smoke rings on those ribs, I Seen It....and that steak looked bad perfect!
Sous Vide is the best. I sear AFTER the sous vide, believe me it's better . And I do it in a cooler. season and vacuum the steak, pour in hot water to 140 degrees, throw in steaks , weight them down and water should drop to 135 -130 which is perfect med rare, and pull em out 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. (It doesn't matter, just don't go more than 3 hours.). Pat dry, sear on VERY hot grill or cast iron skillet 1 min each side.
Thank me later, it's the perfect steak, and you don't spend $100-$400 on a sous vide machine
lose a degree or 2 per hour if you have a halfway decent cooler with a good seal top. DO NOT OPEN FOR ANY REASON, and that will hold true. i use one of my 10 lb dumbells to weigh it down. Redneck sous vide all the way. As long as the temp is 135-130 when you start, you are good.
