What are you guys cooking!?

[John N]

I can vouch that these came out great. It wasn’t just that I was starving by the time I arrived at John’s house. The pork tasted wonderful.

There wasn’t just bbq, we had sides and we had cake….actually cakes and cupcakes. This is the cherry birthday cake my wife cooked for Rusty.

Hope that Jeep wasn't leaking oil like most seem to do...

It was leaking icing.

No leaks evident, but Fred seemed to enjoy about 10 cupcakes while everyone was distracted in another room. Here’s Fred…..

I know Big Walton doesn't approve of tonight's game but he'd approve of the snacks.

Bacon wrapped jalapeños stuffed with cheddar, cream cheese and spices. Pre smoker pic. Yes that's the beer fridge in my garage.

Awesome! Those look like Munich Pulaner beers which would be perfect with them.

They were great. The game , not so much.

Man, I thought they were Miller Lite’s. The peppers look delicious too.

It did get Tomlin out of town a year early so it wasn't a total disaster.

Finally got a little chilly this evening, So got some beef and probably a dozen vegetables cut up and made some beef and vegetable soup.

Well, Mrs CJ-8 loves her gas logs, so much so that we ran out of propane! Our cooktop is plumbed into the same tank as the logs. It’s been 7 weeks since filling. So off to the Holland with its side burner for some cheesesteaks cooked in the garage with the doors shut. All in all not too bad for Walmart meat. It’ll make one!

Tater Tot casserole with beef instead of turkey. Man this is a comfort dish!

Felt like something sweet so I decided to make some cookies this evening. Oatmeal and craisins. Best freshly baked, but they freeze really well so always fresh

Those look really good. Have to try some craisins next time.
Have you ever tried Raisinets?

My wife usually makes a big batch of dough into balls and freezes them, a few minutes in the air fryer/toaster oven and hot fresh baked whenever you get the urge.

 

[Belizeit]

No. I only like Hershey chocolate, that being the main problem, and only straight up or with almonds. That and the craisins work great with the oatmeal.

How about some thick ribeyes?
I seared them on the new grill which has a searing burner for 2 minutes on each side and then cooked to a light medium. I don’t know if it was the cuts of meat, searing them or I just got lucky but boy were they delicious.
Have any of you guys noticed that the thickness of the meat has been thinner than in the past? These were a solid 1-1/4” + thick compared to the 3/4” they’ve been recently.



And the leftovers became steak and eggs for breakfast this morning!
