Mrs. in UT headed out to the Big Apple for a week yesterday, so I'm spending most of the week dragging leftovers and odds and ends out of the freezer. Today I had some loose single beef ribs that I sort of remember buying. Not the dino ribs that I've also made. Didn't seem like enough for 2 so I made them for myself and they were real good. Dry rub, about 5 hours in the oven at 225-250, half the time wrapped. My grandson is coming Saturday and I doing pork belly tacos and a lasagna that's probably been frozen a year. Nothing else exciting. What are you all up to?
I have some pulled pork stew buried in the freezer that I was thinking about making more of and forgot was in there. Lunch for the week done.
Tomorrow I kill the last piece of scalloped potatoes. All the chicken fried steak is done so I'll cook up one of the pieces of swordfish I got last week. I keep swordfish simple. Salt and pepper. I either broil it or fire up the smoker and grilled it
Sunday dinner is mafaldine in a sauce with turkey sausage, pureed roasted vegetables and mushrooms. I everything but the mushrooms get cooked and pureed. I begin with the sausage. Then I add the veggies which I roast and puree from the day before and remove it. Then comes the mushrooms. Whole portobellos cut into quarters. Once they're sautéd it's everybody in the pool. Sausage, veggies, tomatoes, fresh basil a cup of white wine, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for an hour. Serve it over al dente mafaldine with garlic bread on the side
This brings us to Memorial Day. I don't do burgers and dogs. Memorial day is surf and turf. I usually do ribeye but this year it's T-bones. I'll brine them overnight then tomorrow season them with a paste of olive oil and roasted garlic and shallots. Monday I salt and pepper them before they get put o. A scorching hot grill. Serving then with shrimp grilled shell on and marinated 2 ways, scallops, portobello caps and potatoes
We're invited to a friends for a BBQ tomorrow, so waiting to see what they are serving before we decide on the Sunday and MOnday menus. Good weather for a change every day except for Monday
On Sunday we are going to a friends house and may bring a turkey breast marinated with Whiskey, Honey and Teriyaki.
Not sure if I will smoke the turkey breast or use rotisserie.
Monday, not sure, grass fed strip steaks, burgers, Berkshire pork chops, or shrimp tacos. Have a great weekend BBI!

Every once in a while I'll make a list of what's in the freezer, but they never work out for long

Birria is great, I'm sure your guy will make it right. I haven't had swordfish in ages. Just got home from a market I only go to sometimes and bought trout, which Mrs. in UT loves, a a piece of rockfish, which I've never had before. I had to google mafaldine-the look like really thin lasagna noodles. The sauce sounds terrific. Have a great weekend.

Scallops are great and I'm sure you know just how to cook them. The good thing about being retired and planning my meals out ahead is that I never have to food shop on weekends. Have a great holiday, Victor.

I've made pastrami a couple of times, but I started from brisket. Getting it to corned beef takes a good week. I loved the outcome, but most of it ends up getting frozen cause there's just the 2 of us.

Hey, Drew. I tried some baby backs a couple of weeks ago after a long hiatus. They're still too dry for me, especially reheating for leftovers. I'm back to spare and St. Louis. Interesting way to make them, I'm sure it'll be great. I did a Mexican burger last week, beef and chorizo, and the topping called for was sauteed onion and poblano. The poblanos have a nice little kick which may surprise some people, they look pretty harmless. :) Have a great weekend.
my grandson love to go crawdad fishing. Catches a bunch and eats them. Shoots, cleans and eats quail, too. From his father's side of the family
Cheeseburgers, dogs and pinwheel sausage on the grill with pasta salad, potato salad, corn on the cob, chocolate chip cookies and watermelon. Was going to do s’mores with the kids but they all got too tired.
Probably will do something similar again Sunday or Monday.

Looks like that spread came right out of the Holiday BBQ playbook :) I hope you had a great time.
