God bless ya Maggie....you sure can put together some good stuff.

Thank you.

Very Fine looking meals right there.

How do you cook artichoke?

You wash well and trim bottom (top too if you prefer, I usually don't) flat, so after it is cooked it will sit straight. Put in large pot of water and boil. I add lemons sliced or quartered to the water for taste. Boil until tender, usually about 20 minutes or so.... they turn a darker green. Remove from boiling water and drain. Served with hollandaise sauce for dipping and they are awesome!!

...supper. Farm raised quail baked on a bed of rice mixed with spices and cream of mushroom soup and also spices on the quail, English peas from the garden last year [the last] & garlic bread.

I gained 5 lbs reading this! Looks amazing!

How bout a recipe for that bacon wrapped shoulder? Looks mighty fine!

Gladly. Lemme think on it a spell and I'll try to remember everything!

Well, danged if I can find any recipe I might have used so here is what I remember....

One deer shoulder topped with Stubb's beef marinade, unseasoned tenderizer [I use Adolph's - no MSG], salt, pepper and garlic salt. In addition, I slice up some garlic cloves and jalapeno pepper, make slits in the meaty parts of the shoulder and slip a slice of each in the slits. You don't want to over power the meat just add some flavor. So, how much you use would depend on the shoulder size.

After that, I wove a bacon blanket on top of the shoulder so it was entirely covered in bacon. Added to that I rough chopped celery & bella mushrooms. I then added jalapeno slices [those were pickled] but I use fresh too. Added to that I julienned some carrots, added sliced red onion [lots] and some grape tomatoes. You could really use any veggies you like with this...

All of this was cooked tightly wrapped in foil that I sprayed with cooking spray before hand and popped in the oven at 350 degrees for about an hour....I check after an hour and if the veggies need a bit more time, I cook a bit longer. When those veggies are done, your meat should be perfect. You don't want to over cook it.

Went fishin the other day at my honey hole...





cooked it up today...my goodness it twas good!!

Just put a big ole pot of cabbage on the stove.

I love cabbage and sausage!!! Looks good!

Made some cornbread with it. It was mighty fine, if I do say so myself.

Cooking now....boneless chicken thighs smothered in new potatoes, baby bella mushrooms and finely chopped onion all tossed in EVOO with salt, pepper and garlic powder for seasoning; served along with green beans from the freezer & grown in the garden last year and cheese toast....smellin' mighty good up in here!!!

Lookin' great Maggie. Nice home style vittles right there.

Grilled chicken breast tacos and grilled corn for dinner tonight.

Oh my! SBS that all looks delicious but grilled corn is a favorite of mine!!! YUMMY!!

Had a hankerin' for some pasta so I made a tomato based sauce using: tomatoes I canned last year, ground venison, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaves and some fresh basil and parsley from my window sill herbs.

Sweated the onion, celery, and garlic while browning the venison & once everything married and got happy, I added one jar of Basilico [tomato basil sauce] and spices and let that simmer. Cooked some penne mezzani rigate pasta al dente, drained and added to the sauce mixture and let that simmer for a bit.

Served with toast points, a light shave of Parmigiano-Reggiano, topped with some rough chopped fresh parsley and it hit the spot!

The tacos and pasta both look awesome!

Italian seasoned roasted turkey breast tenderloins with Brussels sprouts lightly seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked in a bit of renderings from chopped bacon along with the bacon and sweet steamed corn on the cob from the freezer doused in fresh cream butter...that was supper.

Damn fine meal right there.

^^

Spicy chicken tacos this evening!

Nothing fancy tonight.....baked chicken, smothered green beans and steamed cauliflower.

Fried cabbage with conecha, white Mac and cheese, fried corn.

Seems we all went for comfort foods tonight! Nothing wrong with that.

Grilled (boneless) chicken, country ribs, sausage and (Sliced) Zucchini. Plus we had potato salad baked beans & turnip greens.

Sautéed shrimp burrito bowls with my southwestern rice (rice with black beans and corn).

Eek Gads that looks FINE!!

Happy Palm Sunday; breakfast..cheese grits, messy eggs over easy, toast with homemade peach jam slathered over it, yummy bacon, homemade tomato juice and black coffee! Have a beautiful day!!

Geez Maggie. I had to get up early and play drums in church, so I had coffee and a donut.

Feeling lazy today. Hot dogs and chili

Peach jam...

I've got an experiment in the oven. I'll post up if it turns out halfway decent.

French onion meatloaf, brocolli, and sweet potato. I put too much liquid and not enough binder in the meatloaf. The rlavor was incredible, it just didn't hold together.

Looks good though

It is the taste that matters, eh? Fine meal!

I have got to stop looking at these threads while I'm at work.

Chicken Florentine & Farfalle [bow-tie pasta and white meat chicken with spinach in a Parmesan cheese sauce], with a salad of sweet cranberries, roasted pepitas, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, romaine, kale, carrots, green onions and Poppy Seed dressing [made with Greek Yogurt] and garlic bread.

Even if I say so myownself...it hit the spot.

Looks great Maggie. I went simple tonight. Grilled chicken quarters with some southwestern rice.

Crappie filets, hush puppies, slaw and fries. Mighty good.

Photo and description sound and look yummy!!

Tonight, I am feeling lazy...

Threw together some shell macaroni with cream of celery soup & spices along with some English peas topped with some farm raised quail and spices. Gonna serve that with some Hawaiian rolls and call it done!!

..tasted mighty fine to me....

Looking good

So does that burger and fries!!!!

Man, I bet that macaronishell/creamofcelery/englishpea/quail concoction was mighty fine!!

To pretty to stay inside yesterday evening, so I made Ka-bobs sans the skewers. Used my basket for the BGE and put in Conecuh cajun sausage, chicken breast bites and a medley of veggies served it all with a roll and it hit the spot.





...the view while cooking...it does not get much better..

Just smoked a ham. Going to have deviled eggs, asparagus casserole, corn casserole and Mac and cheese. Gonna be a ruff night around here!

Left over ham from Easter in the fridge, so today we are having homemade tomato soup with grilled ham and cheese sammiches!

I did some lamb on BGE for Easter dinner.

Had some collards, bacon wrapped asparagus, & roasted potatoes with it. Was pretty good if I say so myself

[img:center][/img]

Easter - Grilled Alabama leg of lamb, asparagus, scalloped potatoes.

Whoa.

Dang that looks great!

Very inviting dishes!!!

Gotta try to do some lamb...looks great!!

Sunday was a low & slow day..7.5 day wet cured wild hog ham & ribs...hit the spot!!

Tonight's dinner: pork tenderloin, sweet potatoe, slaw.

I've got some lamb to grill as well. I hope it was the turns out that good!

Good smoke! I gotta get to cooking these photos are making my mouth water and my tummy growl!

Supper...White Alaskan King Salmon topped with lemon, green onions and Cajun seasoning, steamed broccoli with lemon and Cabbage/kale salad with sweet onion citrus dressing.

Desert:


Strawberry short cake with lady fingers and fresh strawberries...

...bone in rib eye, last of the green beans from last year's garden from the freezer and a sweet potato....

not sure what happened to the salmon photo above...?

photobucket has been really wonky lately...

Put a venison roast in the crockpot before I headed out this morning. Not sure if we're gonna slice it up and eat with rice or taters or if we're gonna shred it and make sammiches.

Fajita rice and baked okra.

Salmon patties, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and cathead biscuits

Lawsy those both look and sound delicious!! Made some homemade chicken salad today so that will be supper around here.

..tonight it was Reuben sandwiches with crunchy fries....

Looks great. I love reubens, you got a recipe for that?

Just the usual: Rye bread, Swiss cheese, cornedbeef, sauerkraut all topped with Thousand Island dressing and grilled. I use olive oil spray rather than butter when I grill. Grill slowly so the ingredients all heat through, cheese melts and flavors marry. That is it.

X2!

Reuben Panini here on the ship today...didn't last long enough to get a pic of it!

That food looks mighty fine...last night I made venison burger steaks with fresh green onion and bread crumbs added with seasonings, pinto beans and ham, turnip greens and a pone of homemade buttermilk cornbread....it was so tasty and I was so hungry from working outside all day I forgot to take a pic. Oops.

Been outside most of the day today and am going to pan sear two beef fillets in some butter and garlic finishing them off in a hot oven. Serving with a half a russet baked potato and salad. Too stinking tired to even fire up the BGE!!

Ribeyes in a skillet with salt pepper butter and garlic, Brussel sprouts, creamy chicken rice, & mashed taters.

Yum...we had filet's in the iron skillet with those same seasonings a couple of days ago.
