You keep that up...

Iffin you turn sideways you might git confused fer a zipper.... ;0)

I forgot to eat once …………then I remembered and ate twice to make up for it.
Tonight was a shared ribeye steak, veggie kabobs, gnocchi in sweet spicy tomato sauce and a salad. Pu me in a fork, I’m done!!! LOL
Slammer!!!

I moved my schwenker grill to behind the garage where once a mighty maple stood. Last night I built a small fire and bed of briquettes and hickory. Just enough for a single ribeye for two. It was so much better tasting than my ol gasser. Along with steamed green bean with tarragon and butter, a chopped homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers salad, and warm baguette slices. Brad

I love that pit Brad...
Good flippin job... :0)

Wicked cool...

I can taste that ribeye from here!
Noice!!!

When I built it, I bought SS chain and SS swinging grill grate , along with ball bearing swivel. The chain still shines like new!  The spinning and swinging over fire really evens the heat distribution, especially when cooking over burning wood. That is how they used it in W Germany.  
.....in its new spot I will do some landscaping around it.  Rock or pavers for a foot or two around the pit,  (for safety), not sure about the of the area between garage and shed.

Sunday evening: I did a spatchcocked chicken, well schmeered with an herbed olive oil/butter goo. I picked from the garden rosemary, thyme, and sage and finely chopped it all. Roasted in the gasser-with the smoke box smokin. Marilyn made side with potatoes and green beans. Brad

Nothin like a good meal... kind heals the Soul..

Oops Groton ct...

I battered and shallow fried a couple of pork chops in bagged chicken fry batter stuff that you mix with water. Did the cooking outside on a little camp stove so as not to heat up/grease up the kitchen. Linguine and marinara sauce on the side. Kind of a quasi pork parmigiana. Celebratory dinner as Al passed The Stone and can eat with pleasure again!

Small Birthday (Liz's) evening dinner in the vineyard with live music..

Nice place..

:0)

I deep fried chicken tenders in Whistle Stop onion ring batter, and Al made Buffalo sauce with onion, garlic, and Busha Browne jerk sauce. I made a small Greek salad, and our guests brought a cheese platter and cupcakes. We ate while watching the sunset and listening to a singer/guitar player, who opened with Jolene and closed with The Time Warp.

Sounds like the perfect evening!!! Friends, family, food, music in a beautiful place. Don’t get better than that!!!
Slammer!!!

Buffalo wing sammich..

Land salmon n land roe...(hotdogs n beans..)
Open faced hammer berger..
Cause we only had one bun...

Pasta n balls..
N jalapeño poppers...

Worked up a sweat and had to take another shower after firing up the wok last night to make a sweet &spicy Szechuan Chicken with cabbage , onions and mushrooms. It was hot and humid out and then standing next to a 275,000 BTU burner didn’t help. Forced me to drink my beer so fast o keep it from getting too warm!!!
Slammer!!!

Pork knuckle with sauerkraut and potatoes…. And a lot of German beer! In Hannover, Germany
