First time hosting Christmas Eve. Coming from a half Italian American family and marrying into a full one, this is a lot of pressure. Amongst other foods, we’re absolutely nailing the seafood menu albeit not the traditional 7 fishes:

King Crab
Snow Crab
Fried Calamari
Steamed and Chilled Clams
Mussels in a Fra Diavolo Sauce with Linguini
Shrimp Cocktail
Baked Cod

We have eggplant Parmesan for the vegetarian contingent

Pillsbury pre cut cook yourself cookie dough. Appetizer was a doobie.....most likely will be washed down with lots of water, a pizza, some blue cheese combos, red vines licorice and whatever else I can find.

Currently prepping 2 prime ribs for tomorrow. Going to smoke one and put the second in the oven.

Chilling and looking at the fridge. Going to make spaghetti pasta, some pan-fried chicken, a little chorizo, with sautéed tomatoes, and a bit of chimichurri. Why the F not?

edit: Meh. Works, but not special.

Made some Hawaiian sliders. Mayo on the bottom bun, then Gouda cheese, Black Forest ham, then a layer of brown sugar ham. Next was provolone cheese and shredded Gouda. Top buns got coated with blueberry jalapeno jam from Buc-ee’s. Coated with Melted butter and baked at 325 for 15 minutes. Turned out to be amazing.

I'm going out on a limb and say this won't end up in a can with a StarKist label.

Bluefin tuna sells for record $3.2 million at year-opening auction at Tokyo fish market

The top bidder for the prized tuna at the predawn auction was Kiyomura Corp., whose owner Kiyoshi Kimura runs the popular Sushi Zanmai chain.

I love sushi, but the idea of paying that much for a tuna is ridiculous.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I think it's just a tradition that they do, it's prestigious to have the first tuna of the year.

My daughter is having her 14th bday party today,… friends and family over for a mix of Filipino and Mexican foods of her choosing. I made my fan favorite Arbol salsa I’ve shared before and good lord oh mighty are these particular Arbols hot as hell. Never had a batch this hot off this recipe before,… I doubt the kids will have any but that’s ok, it’s still really good. Making some watermelon fresca and some crispy pork belly in a bit, the financial advisor is handling the rest

14th? How many daughters you have, homie?

I’ll actually be back in El Paso this summer if your offer holds firm. My client is adding a 6th building in El Paso. 🥺

Just the two lol,… complete polar opposites in every way. Lol

Yes, I’m always down to have you over or meet you somewhere nice

Made chicken teriyaki this weekend for the first time and it came out way better than I was expecting. I always have high expectations for chef steps but this is one of my favorite things I've ever made. Surprisingly the best part (to me) was this cold Iceberg salad that is apparently a staple side for the dish in Seattle. It has a dressing that is largely mirin, rice vinegar and mayo. Just incredible and went so well with the dark BBQ flavors of the chicken.

Followed the below recipe. I had never spatchcocked a chicken this thoroughly but I might need to add removing the ribs to my usual method because it made slicing the bird so nice at the end.

Homemade Carbonara last night. True to form for me, frozen pizza this evening.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

I share a home and life with a professional cottage baker. My life is often surrounded by cookie sandwiches. This is why I am at the gym every single morning.

 

[laughingirish92]

grilled some great skinless chicken breast strips and shrimp today marinated with several seasonings like paprika & garlic seasoning, ground black pepper seasoning, thyme seasoning and chili powder seasoning stired in olive oil and it tastes great on chicken and shrimp

I bought bologna this week. Cheese and yellow mustard with chips and a soda (or Pop). Killer.

Attention griddlers:

Discussion taking place at a family-shared summer cottage to upgrade the old grill to a NG Blackstone. Literally no one in the family have experience cooking on griddles or let alone owning one. Care, maintenance, storage in the winter, storage when not in use, etc are all concerns of mine. Location is on a lake in Michigan. Primarily weekends only. Will not be used in the off-season. August sometimes has "renters" (extended family usage who do not own the cottage but are allowed to stay there).

Is the Blackstone a good decision? I'm skeptical and have voiced my concerns. The attention to detail and level of care that others have shown in general at the cottage give me pause that they can be trusted not to let the thing rust and become ruined.

Thoughts?

I would not recommend it for your situation. I’ve had mine for several years and I love. It gets used a couple times a week, even in the winter. Limits the amount of clean up and just overall very versatile. Saying that, it’s not worth it if no one’s going to maintain it. Mine gets cleaned, covered and routinely seasoned yet still gets rusty.

My wife added this Coleman to our wedding registry a few years ago and I love this portable grill. I take it up north in MI, tailgates, etc. Easy for frying up a ton of bacon and breakfast sandwiches, and then it has the normal grill grates for burgers, dogs, brats etc.

Sounds like it might be better suited for you than splurging on a blackstone that won't be used all the time.

Fried the bologna tonight with 2 pieces of cheddar, yellow mustard and spicy mayo.

I’m sure I have but it’s literally just equal parts soy sauce and vinegar until your chicken wings are mostly covered then slow boil,… scoop some broth and a couple wings over some white rice,… it’s hamburger helper easy and super good
