What's For Dinner Tonight?

hubbahubba · 01-30-2022, 06:43 PM

Turkey marinated in red pepper and onion sauce, Twice baked spicy potatoes, and green bean and corn casserole. Angel's Envy with a big cube.

JJ 911SC · 01-30-2022, 07:33 PM

Chicken (Air-fried), Rib and Mash

UncleWede · 01-31-2022, 11:10 AM

Took the wife out to The Palace Grill in Santa Barbara Saturday night. It was her sister's anniversary.

I had the stuffed filet, medium rare. Shit just fell apart. There was some sort of dipping sauce that seemed to be balsamic vinegar based. That tart on the meat made it fantastic. Paired with the SAZERAC as a beverage, it was great.

Sunday afternoon, and then again for dinner Sunday night I had a pesto chicken. Niece's baby-daddy's mom is a caterer in the Bay area, but came to the 'Nard for a combined birthday (niece and her daughter on the same day). That was the bomb! I put it on everything!!!

Sorry, too busy grubbing to snap pics

So then I'd up the gas a little, go inside to warm up for 2-3 min, and bingo, FIRE...blackened chicken everywhere...and the temps weren't even that warm, maybe sitting around 350 degrees F. So I turn it down a little, and start losing heat again. So frustrating.

Anyways, it turned out ok, but it was piss poor cooking on my part - I rescued enough of them such that we weren't eating charcoal, but wish I had saved it till a warmer time.

Gas right? Do you have charcoal as an option?

Its been a decade since I owned a gas grill but found chicken on charcoal to be easy because you just build up heat with a big fire, then nearly choke it out. The CO builds up and it cant maintain a flame, no flare ups (well, not until you open the grill, which is why you have to burp it).

Its easier with a kamado but a quality kettle should still be able to do it. another thing that helps is a deflector.

Yeah, propane. I have a deflector, and in spring/summer temps it is perfectly fine, can control flare ups fairly well (plus, I'm usually near the BBQ as well since its nice out). No option for charcoal on mine.

I have a smoker for when I want to go charcoal.

I’ve been on a low carb diet so don’t typically eat out. However after a “meeting” today over bourbon and cigars… I had one too many and had to get something to eat. Greek salad with some chicken.

cmyx6go · 02-01-2022, 05:37 PM

Nothing! It was supposed to be baked chicken breasts. I put the oven on and saw the usual preheat message. Went back 10 minutes later and it’s still showing 175 degrees preheating. Shut off and tried again. Still nothing. Temp not rising. No convection. No regular bake, no roast. It won’t go on. WTF. No grill, it’s too cold. Now my oven died. FML! Carry on.

JJ 911SC · 02-01-2022, 05:53 PM

Drumstick and Fridge Leftover Fry Rice...

KenB925 · 02-01-2022, 05:53 PM

Chilean Sea Bass with a nice sauce.

Some garlic bread to soak up said sauce as well!
