Friday pizza night. One with white sauce and pepperoni, one with red sauce and pepperoni, ham and diced beef bratwurst, mine with diced pepperoni, ham, bratwurst and onion, grilled to perfection (pictured before the peak of perfection was reached). Served with an ultra cold 16oz Labatts Blue (forgot it in the freezer, was somewhat slushy).
Mrs. JohnD's birthday tomorrow, got the Cajun group (in laws and siblings) over for a visit tomorrow. Bought a 7 bone prime rib, cut it off of the bones, seasoned it and tied it back on to the bone rack. It'll sit in the fridge overnight and take a nice little ride in the Primo before dinner.
Beef (and Chicken) Fajita's with Ho made Guac and Ho made Pico de Gallo (tomatoes and peppers from the garden). No grapes tonight. Its a "Jose Cuervo" kind of night!
It was good, not great. A 'rare' occasion where I could have left the steak on the grill for another minute. It only had about 6 hours in the marinade. I'd go 12-24. All in all, a good meal, but I didn't nail it.
The prime rib came out great, just a tad bit more cooked than I would have scripted, but it's really hard to mess one up, I'm just splitting hairs. The in laws brought their dogs, so our dog and their two had a bone feast of their own.
Celebrating our soon to be eleven year olds birthday a day early. Have a really busy schedule tomorrow, so ended up celebrating today. He requested fried tilapia, so the boys ate fish, the girls got fried chicken fingers. Served with corn and eventually cake. I didn't want to waste really fishy oil, so I cut up a green tomato, coated with flour and some Emeril's essence, and made a nice side dish for Dad.
All of course was gluten free, except the fried maters.
