Dinner and dessert on the grill

Grilled pork chops, grilled potatos, romaine salad, and grilled peaches for dessert.

Them peaches look great!

Looks good minus the Michelob

Supply was running low. I need to hit the exchange.

Hard to beat them with vanilla ice cream.

Our favorite dessert!

Looks good man.

Still calling BS on SBS's weekly food expenses.

Red potatoes were 2, 5lb bags for $5, bought one for $2.50.
Pork chops were $1.29/lb, bought 5lbs for $6.45.
Peaches were $0.39 each, bought 6 for $2.34.
Romaine lettuce was $3 for a package.

Assuming that there are 10 potatoes to a 5lb bag, that's $0.25 per potato. I ate one last night, so that's $0.25. I ate 1/6 of a package of romaine, so $0.50. There were 8 pork chops in the 5lb package, so that's $0.80 per pork chop. I ate one peach, so there's $0.39.

That brings my total to a whopping $1.94 in money spent on last night's dinner. Add my wife's to that, and we almost spent $4.

Dude.

This post & Gomer Pyle's has me thinking I need an Akorn...

I'm just glad to see you got a table and aren't eating off of the Yeti any more.

Looks good SBS!

The beer and charcoal cost more than that

Ranch dressing, cheese,..

Beer was free, cheese was a few cents, ranch dressing was a few cents, charcoal ain't included in groceries.

I also forgot that I ate 1/8 of a bag of romaine, not 1/6, and We are less than one potato each because I had some leftovers for lunch today, so those make up for the ranch and cheese.

All total it was under $4 for both of us.

Is there seriously nothing better to do than critique another man's grocery budget down down to each individual cent? Good Lort.

Some people (not singling you out jbc, as I did leave a few things out) are just pissed off because I can eat really well and save a chit load of money, while they're spending hundred of dollars more per week than they need to on groceries.

I was just thinking Aldeer sure is a pissy bunch sometimes.

Wal-Marks in Moulton had one marked $30 or so dollars down. I can't remember the price though. I want to say in the neighborhood of $240.

Didn't mean to sound pissed. Was just ribbing a bit since it was a hot topic last week (or 2 weeks ago).
The food looks awesome.

Yeah, I knew you were messing around as well. Thanks for the compliment bud!

No doubt looks good. I wasn't critiquing

I just know we decide to have taco night and all of a sudden I've spent $40 at grocery store

I need to follow you around

Maybe SBS should write a book on eating amazing food on a budget lol

So...please enlighten me on how to cook those peaches...that photo makes my mouth water!!!

Easy. Cut in half and take the pit out. Spring cinnamon and brown sugar on the pit side, and put the pit side down on the grill. Cook until it has good grill marks, usually 4ish minutes. Turn over so that the pit side is facing up, and then drizzle melted butter and honey over them so that it accumulates where the pit was. Cook for another few minutes and take off the grill. Serve with cool whip or vanilla ice cream and enjoy.

The "rollback" price is $247, down from reg price of $288. Tempting.....

For those that have a Char-Griller Akorn how hard is it to get the coals lit? It's been a long time since I fooled with a charcoal grill

I fill up a chimney, spray a newspaper sheet with cooking oil (paper towel with cooking oil works as well), light it up, wait 10 minutes, dump it in the grill, throw a few more handfuls onto the lit coals, wait 10 minutes for it to level out, and start cooking. Irishguy uses cotton swabs soaked in rubbing alcohol to light his, some guys use a MAP torch or electric coil starter to start theirs. There are many ways to skin that cat. Just don't use lighter fluid.

Anybody heard from him lately?
Did he get lost in BVI

good point, according to his post was supposed to be there june 12-26th.

add him to the list with Deadwood and OutdoorObsession,...

MIA

THANKS!

I use the burner on my fish cooker to get it started. Dump charcoal into the chimney and put on top of fish cooker burner and light it up. In just a few minutes the coals are ready and it never tastes like lighter fluid.
