What's for dinner tonight ?

[kaelc]

Smoked winter spring, capers, cream cheese bagel. Kids sleeping in the back seat after playing hard camping and my oldest puking during the night. Momma stayed home so turned sweet and made me lunch, maybe repowering isn’t making her as boat mad as I thought it was yesterday?

I did not get great pictures but annual deep fried turkey on the beach with pot luck fixings. So good. 18lb bird in 40 min. Cut the wings off and add for last 15 min only or they will be crispy. Took a couple years to figure out the tricks.

Damn all you guys with your asparagus. I didn’t know you get early crops in spring . When do you plant asparagus? I need to do this

Spring is really the only time you get asparagus. And rain city is kinda right, you’re not supposed to harvest until the 3rd year, and it just gets better year after year

 

[IronNoggin]

Six years and going here. Both types, the Green & the Purple.
Did not harvest until the 4th year.
Now it goes along very well.

And the TASTE is unlike anything you can buy! So much BETTER!

Cheers

Yes

You guys got me onto growing garlic now (2nd year) and now I need to do asparagus.
I’m gonna need more gardens

Our asparagus came with the house, in 1997

The brisket turned out soooooo good! Super tender, nice milder apple and whiskey charcoal smoke. No two briskets are ever the same lol. This one took an hour and a half longer than expected to be done. 21.5 hrs total cook time.

With baked potatoes and all the fixing, mac and cheese, brussels & bacon cheese sauce, sautéed mushrooms and onions, corn bread, and caesar salad. All homemade with friends bringing over some dishes. Hot strawberry rhubarb and blueberry pie with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.











Next day slicing cold to prep for Philly brisket sandwiches...

You know what else keeps coming back year after year? Cauliflower! Maybe This should be under garden hacks as it’s so easy. We have a dedicated raised bed for cauliflower and purple sprouting broccoli. All you do to keep them coming back is….nothing! Harvest the cauliflower head, trim the plant back a bit and leave it in place. We have plants that are 7 or 8 years old and we get lots of big heads this month. The picture below is just some off shoots we trimmed for supper tonight, along with some asparagus. (Main dish will be pork belly carnitas.)

Awesome! Is the Bradley turkey lynching a home made design or can I add it to mine?

 

[WHO DAT]

The Sooke smoked turkey master gave us this one, but we made our first one from suspended ceiling wire. Best Regards

Stuffed Spaghetti Squash.
Stuffing: Moose Burger, Shrooms, Onions, Garlic, Pasta Sauce & Salsa.

The consistency of the squash makes this like eating your favorite spaghetti dish with an interesting crunch & flavor!

Cheers

We had the Chilian Sea Bass last night. rubbed it with olive oil and S&P, Pan seared both sides and into the oven for a few minutes to finish.
At serving, I topped it off with lemon butter, wine, capper sauce.
This fillet was double the size we could eat.

It was excellent and the fish flakes are very very dense but that is probably because these fish live in 5,000 ft +- depth which pressurized the fish. The favor is mild, buttery and sweet and the skin was great too. My favor fish is Ling Cod and it was nothing like any cod or our bass.
Is it worth $75lb, probably not to me, but fishing it at 5,000 ft +- by longline in Antarctica must not be easy.

It’s still cheaper than real Japanese Wagyu.
