What's for dinner tonight ?

[IronNoggin]

Due to the kindness of one of my hunting & fishing Buddies, left over lamb simply had to wait!

Fresh out of the water spring salmon, prawns & clams!

Delicious!!

Nog, this looks awesome. I wish I had your kind of problems; lamb sitting in the fridge and fresh seafood on the dinner plate.
BTW, do you use the leftover clam broth for soups?

Yeah... First world problems alright!
Smoked Oysters tonight, then back to the lamb tomorrow methinks.

Yes, we save the broth for seafood chowder.
Turns out rather fine.

Cheers,

Got 3/4's of the way into getting the lamb shanks done yesterday, and the phone rings:
Hey Buddy, come out front please...
Roger.

One of my Buddies had a whack of clams, a few crabs, and some oysters just pulled fresh from the water.
Happy Birthday he grinned!
Awesome!
Quick chat, then back inside.

Had to clean and blanch the crabs, putting the shanks off for a little longer than I really desired.
BUT, they turned out just fine!

My Birthday present was the new BarBee we collected recently, so I did not expect anything else.
But my Lady surprised me with the rotisserie designed exactly for that BarBee, and a couple new sets of merino wool socks.
Love that Gal!

Tonight we'll dive into the seafood methinks...

Cheers,

My experience with lamb shanks is they're only too happy to braise a bit longer

Back to the old standby on the grill.
Olive oil, butter (or only butter), soya, brown sugar, splash of sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, pepper warmed in a pot to baste the salmon as it grills.

 

[IronNoggin]

Fresh HUGE Smoked Oysters, crab, clams and a Greek salad with Feta:

YUMMY!

[IronNoggin]

The Missuz got me a made to spec rotisserie for the new BarBee on the occasion of my celebrating another year wiser day recently.

So, it was time to install and check it out:

Yep. Fits as if it was made for it.

Then dug one of the oversized Cornish Game Hens a Buddy raises out, prep, plug & play. Sure does a superb job!

Skin turned out nice & crispy, while the inside was very tender, juicy and flavorful!

Accompanied by a select pasta, a fresh garden salad with Avo's, and a fine Merlot:

I do believe this contraption is going to get quite the workout down the road!

Cheers,
Nog

....I do believe this contraption is going to get quite the workout down the road!

Looks great!

Our rotisserie gets lots of use in the charcoal kettle, makes lots of yard birds very dizzy.
Seeing yours gets me thinking about cooking some chicken or beef roast or ...

 

[walleyes]

Yes we get a tone of use out of our rotisserie, birds, roasts ribs in a basket. My bbq has the rear burner and they are so handy for the rotisserie, you never have to worry about flare ups they do such a nice job. But you do have to watch the next time you fire up the grill as all that grease is sitting there so when you fire up the burners it gives quite the flare up until it burns off.

I'm in tears. I miss my nonna's. They were both amazing cooks. Pizza lunch after Sunday bowling was always my favorite.

My favourite was free bowling (and rootbeer from the coldwater bath pop cooler) at the Chemainus Bowling Alley that Gran and Gramps once owned.

Sounds awesome. I forwarded that video to my family chat and we're all crying now. She talks just like all my grandparents. It's a language that is forever lost. All the italians in italy can speak english now. That generation was hard core.

 

[Stizzla]

i did well on the crab traps today. Fresh crab cakes and a couple of pounds of clams in a spicy beer broth. Served with a tall glass of water to hydrate after a long day in the sun.
Outstanding.

Blackened cabezon burrito for me, soft corn tacos for the boss.

 

[Sotally Tober]

A couple of racks of ribs for dinner,
using the 3,2,1 method.
A blend of Hickory/Oak for smoke.
Unfortunately the ribs seemed to be hoovered up almost as fast as they were cut up, so no pictures of them plated.
Lol

Very tasty dinner!
