[vharrison]

For dinner I cooked up a couple Bubba burgers with cheese about 5pm, then another buddy called about 6:30 and we ate at Barnhill's buffet before looking at a job he wants me to do later this week.

If I keep up this pace, I'll be back into those 'fatty' pants hanging in the closet of the spare bedroom by the end of the year.
:O

Old CLimber you are hooked on the bubba burgers!

[woodworkingboy]

I had a cheeseburger myself tonight, with onion rings, french fries, and coleslaw. I was driving, so I went for an ice tea instead of the usual
brewsky(s). A place called the New York Cafe...but only about nine or ten thousand kilometers from the big apple.

[GASoline71]

I checked on Bubba Burger's website to see if they are available in Washington State. It said they are available in military commisaries. I'll have to check that out!

Gary

[Paul B]

Bubba burgers... not available here. :( so its a steak night! yahoo! thank god for cows!

A box of fish crackers and half a bar of chocolate.

Hey! The Tree Guy's out fishing so I get to eat what I want! Feeling kind of sick now though.............

[Paul B]

Fishing? is he out on the river? I have seen a couple days this week and one last week where there were a TON of fishboats out there. I guess there is an opening for a late run of salmon or something?

[Rborist1]

A guy might catch more than salmon outta the Fraser.

[Tree Guy's Wife]

Sockeye are open on the Fraser right now. He's fishing out around Hope with some buddies. Sockeye were closed for several years and this is the longest opening they've had for sports fishing since they've opened it again.

We don't have Summer, Winter, etc around here. We have Sockeye Season, Coho Season, Pinks Season.......... LOL

Natalie

[Paul B]

:) I wish him luck on the water. salmon rules.

[Paul B]

craig, years ago a buddy of mine used to go night fishing for big ass sturgeon there, near mission. caught hisself a nice 5 footer once, before the major size limits were brought in.

[Rborist1]

Can't fish for sturgeon anymore here, they are protected now. I hooked into one last year (while fishing for walleye on 8lb test) for about 2 seconds............snap!

[Paul B]

I dunno if they are legal here anymore either, last I heard you could keep catches from one meter to two meter, but thats probably 10 years ago, I bet they are verboten nowadays. my bud, he fought his for like 4 hours or somethin gif I remember correct. big ole prehistoric beast.

http://i.pbase.com/u14/cavertim/large/4157358.Sturgeon.jpg

[Rborist1]

They are cool lookin thats for sure! That 5ft sturgeon was prob 75-100 years old............

[vharrison]

Sitting down to some smoked piggy flesh from Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Q. Got the Big Pig sandwich basket with fries, beans (mmmmmm-mmmm-mmmmm) and a side of Brunswick stew.
:D

Brian, you dog...the Bodacious BBQ on Lee RD off 17-92? YUM, YUM, YUM! That place is awesome. We have a Bubbalous in the lower keys that has a great reputation but more for fish and of all things pizza. The service stinks but the food is good.

[roller]

Tried some Polish dumplings today with sour cream,they come frozen from the Russian/Eastern European shop,meat and sour kraut,YUK YUK!! Found out though he does sell 90% proof Vodka..:D

Whilst walking around in the ETHNIC part of my town I went to the Moroccan shop and bought some sausages and lamb chops and flat bread,I only went there because the Kurdish shop didn't understand me,then I headed off a bit further 50 yards down the road to the Portugese shop and bought some nice cakes,I checked out the Bengali shop again a stones throw from all the other shops mentioned,but they never had any mangos..:what:

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, we have an ethnic part of town, too!

But I don't go strolling around there...

[roller]

My whole town is an Ethnic mix..

[vharrison]

Our town is ethnic as well. Last night John seriously asked me where did the americans move to?

BBQ tomorow

[vharrison]

Just finished Chicken (real) Fahitas. Yum. Sauted chicken, bell peppers, (red and green) onion, and teriyaki. Then rolled in a soft taco shell with your choice of tomatoe, lettuce, sour cream, jalepeno peppers (not for me) and salsa. Yum, yum yum.

[MasterBlaster]

I had a Quizno's foot long brisket sub. It was awesome, but for $12 it had freaking better be! :\:

[cybergeek23851]

[Tree Guy's Wife]

LOL

Sure Paul! Actually, we're supposed to go see "Snakes on a Plane" with friends tonight. Not my choice, but for some reason they have got it in their minds that they MUST see it with US. ????


Natalie

[Paul B]

snakes on a plane? hahah, go to a dollar store and pick up some cheap rubber snakes, pick a good moment in the movie and fling them about the theater for kicks. :)

[MasterBlaster]

I like yakisoba, too!

[wiltingoak]

Damnit, just ate breakfast and now I'm hungry again thanks to you guys.

[GASoline71]

On tonight's menu: Grilled elk steak, broccolli, and wild rice pilaf.

:reindeer:I like's me some elk steak!

Gary

[wiltingoak]

Being wife's out of town, think I'll stick with seafood. Sardines and saltines.

Wonder what's going to happen to the elk meat now that they're culling NM's herds by the thousands? Haven't been keeping-up w/ the local news, but heard something about a disease epidemic.

Roosevelt elk huh? Rosemary sprinkled on a couple minutes before done?

I was a fat man in some prior life, pillaging villages w/ a club and tossing thigh bones back over my shoulders...the king and queen's.

[GASoline71]

This is Rocky Mountain Elk taken in Eastern Washington. The Roosevelt species is out on the Olympic Penninsula, and Southwest Washington coast. Reed, I believe you are referring to Chronic Wasting Disease. Which started in "farm-raised" elk I believe in Montana some time ago. Then when some of the farmed elk escaped they spread the disease to the wild animals. It is spreading rapidly throughout the West. Even in deer species as well.

But it might be something else...

Nothin' but plain ol' salt and pepper for me. Savor the flavor of the meat.

Gary

[wiltingoak]

Ditto - or at least the basic tune-up for a change of pace: backstrap grilled with a bacon strip wrapped around it, saute some onions w/ very little garlic in butter and pour that over the sucker. If anyone reaches for the catsup bottle, kill them.

I only saw a quick blurb on the Rocky Mnt news about the elk herds, saying something about shooting as many bulls as possible this Fall...unmanaged herds. Hope not.

[TC3]

If anyone reaches for the catsup bottle, kill them.

Damn straight ! LOL

Provided we have power, it is Taco night at our house.

John smoked ribs and chicken wings all day. I added a baked potato and spinach with artichoke in a phillo crust with corn bread. I skipped the baked potato and ribs. Portion control as my daughter would say, although she went for it all!

[cybergeek23851]

I had bbq'd porkchops, rice, and steamed brocolli

[woodworkingboy]

Funny, all I can remember about dinner last night is that I had some wine.

[roller]

liquid dinner then

[Burnham]

Prawns sauted with jalapenos, garlic, fresh parsley, and lime juice. Served over fettacini alfredo. Bottle of nice merlot. Blackberry pie a bit later on, with a glass of cold milk.

I hope you enjoyed your mountain hicking/camping jaunt Burnham ,grub sounds tastey as well ..

I'm off camping myself very soon,the Essex countryside doesn't compare to where you camped Burnham but where we are going the nearest house is 3 miles away,and there will be no other people about as its my land ,I only have about 5 acres of woody scrub land,it does over look miles of farm land in all directions though, it will be fun..

[MasterBlaster]

Salmon jerky? Never heard of it, sounds yucky!

actually its quite good. very like regular smoked salmon but spicier and less mushy texture.
sorta like really succulent beef jerky.
I have had deer jerky before years ago, also really tasty and nice soft texture.

Thanks. My dad stopped manning the grill a while back so I had to take over. Took a while, but I've got most of my techniques down.

[GASoline71]

Since today was my day off... I decided to smoke a whole chicken.

I marinated it overnight with my famous secret marinade, and then stuffed it with lemon wedges and tarragon sprigs. I put it on my charcoal water smoker for just about 4 hours (internal temp of about 170 degrees F). In the water pan I put in water, 1 beer, more lemon wedges, 2 quartered apples, a large qauartered onion, and a handful of red pepper flakes. I used two handfulls of wet Alder chips on the charcoal for a light smoke flavor.

Here is my famous secret marinade...;)

Gary's Super-duper Marinade

1 1/2 cups Olive Oil
3/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoons Dry Mustard
2 teaspoons Salt
1 tablespoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1/3 cup Lemon Juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dried Parsely Flakes
3 Cloves Garlic, mashed & roughly chopped

Combine all ingredients and marinate meat for at least 4 hours to overnight in the fridge. Works best with chicken or pork. But will work with fish or beef. Can be used as a basting sauce as well.

Enjoy!:)

Gary

[Tree Guy's Wife]

That looks soooo yummy!

We're having beef tendorloin medallions, backed potatoes and a spinach salad.

[JamesTX]

Since today was my day off... I decided to smoke a whole chicken.

I have to agree, I don't think I've ever had a bad pizza. All those bunch in a package little frozen pizzas that you can buy in the frozen section of the market, I mean they are bad, but eating enough of them at the same time makes them pretty good. It's the law of quantity over quality.

[Buzz]

Heh congratulations :beer:

[Skwerl]

Another pizza from the local Italian place. Their pizza is soooo good. So is their Stromboli. Had to order early because you can't get in the front door after about 7, standing room only.

I haven't bought a pizza from Pizza Hut in over 6 months now. Last year I probably averaged one per week. This place is a couple dollars more but worth every penny.

[Paul B]

new york strip steak, about 1 1/4 inch think, near a pound or so. nice white rice (wife prefers them to the potatoes I enjoy) and some veggies. good eatin coming up!

[GASoline71]

[GASoline71]

Forgive my ignorance Jamie... But isn't that sheep guts or somethin'???:what:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis

[roller]

Haggis is a GRAND food fit for a king or a pesant! I think it's actualy classed as a sausage..

[MasterBlaster]

I would give it a go, no problemo!

[Paul B]

half a leftover steak (not MY leftovers, the wife cant eat a whole steak, poor girl) and a plate full of fettucine noodles with basil pesto with ground almonds. ;) spot on as our Brits might say.

[jamie]

aye thats what haggis is.

haggis, black pudding, sausage and bacon butty with some hp brown sauce......:P

i know haggis cant be imported into a lot of countries as its classed as offal.....offaly good i'd say.

jamie

[jamie]

oh and on that Wikipedia website they lied, they said haggis have 4 legs, they dont they only have 3. one on the uphill side and 2 on the downhill side.


The poll of 1,000 US visitors to Scotland found 33% thought haggis was an animal; 23% said they came to Scotland believing they could catch one.

you crazy americans, we love you in scotland....i'm away off to change into my work kilt and do the highland fling then this afternoon i'm away caber tossing.
jamie:evil:

[Paul B]

caber tossing inthe afternoon? I thought it was breakfast thing...

[jamie]

it normally is, but this morning i was chasing some english out of my castle by the picturesque loch (lake).

jamie

[Paul B]

what time to you go Nessie hunting? can you ride a Haggis? I mean with three legs you would think it would have an awkward gait..

Ha, do you get to see The Simpsons tv show over there? I remember a quote from the gratuitous Scot, groundskeeper Willy.
something like " there's nary a man that can catch a greased Scotsman!" I forget the scene / context.

[jamie]

but theres plenty of wimin that can catch a greased scotsman.

i like groundskeeper willy, he is everything that a proper scottish guy should be (or is portrayed as)

jamie

[vharrison]

I am not sure it gets any better than this: Home made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, and squash. A little bread on the side and it was sooooooo good!

[Paul B]

sushi! (california roll, tuna roll, salmon roll and a dynamite roll) and had a big bowl of wonton soup at lunch....

Willy had to chase after Santa's Little Helper(Bart's dog) in the air vent of the school. Lunch lady Delores quickly obliges to his question as to wheter or not she could spare some grea after he bares all down to his skivvies. In the end, he chases the dog, the duct work breaks in the gymnasium, he and the dog fall. The dog is not hurt whereas Willy lands on Superintendent Chaumers while he is wearing a new suit, and ultimately, Principal Skinner is fired...I think.
