Corn on the cob (basil butter); leftover grilled artichoke; braised okra with sauteed onions, grape tomatoes, and fresh sage; braised Swiss chard (basil); leftover grilled pork chop re-braised in sherry and Zinfandel, with sauteed onions, mushrooms and fresh thyme.
Who's got Brisket for $1.99lb? We do! (Kroger). Will see if they are whole packers or just flats today.
I would say, "start up the smoker before you go to the store"

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
I'd be shocked to see flats at that price.

They had one flat @ $5.99lb. I was able to pick through about 8 packers and found a really nice 13.5lber that didn't have 5lbs of fat on the bottom. It came home with me. I have 2 still frozen in the freezer so will more than likely put one of those on soon. We are starting to see Fall weather in these parts. This morning low was 46. High will still be in the low 80's so perfect weather for a long cook.
Here is a nice appeteaser we enjoyed:
This is salmon crudo. This is raw King salmon (of the grade you can eat raw, natch!), served with shallots, capers, lemon juice, cilantro, and EVOO. It was really tasty!
Dinner was halibut, tossed in breadcrumbs, then seared hard, and served with chopped basil. This was also tasty. It was accompanied by many leftover dishes, including corn on the cob with basil butter; braised okra with onions and tomatoes; braised kale in chicken stock; and a nice side salad by Mrs. Sour_Grapes. Sadly (or happily?), I did not take any pix beyond the fish pix...

I understand that one....lol
I think that crudo in Spanish is "crude," while its cognate in Italian means "raw."
Exactly Paul.
This is why we call you not only the lamb and artichoke man but also the distinguish linguistic man

I should demur. It is true that I have a decent (perhaps even above average) mastery of one language. However, as a monoglot, it is a bit hard to claim linguistic distinguishment in a world with polyglots such as yourself!
Grilling tonight just as a storm rolled through dropping the temps from mid 80's to low 70's with lightning and wind. Opened up the house and grilled the pork chops, asparagus on the deck while Lori made a rice dish. Opened a Dreaming Tree Rose that fit nicely.
Kroger is represented by Fry's here and had the same sale. Picked up 2 today, cut each into 1/3s, vacuum sealed and tossed in the basement freezer.
Mrs. WM81 and I spent the weekend at Carolina Beach NC, a belated celebration of our anniversary (which was July). No pictures, but ...
Friday evening dinner was at Bowman's in Carolina Beach. Food and service are good, we'll go back.
Lunch Saturday was at Fishy Fishy in Southport. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but this was the best seafood we've had in a while. The crab dip appetizer was delicious -- I had a shrimp and oyster po-boy and the wife had shrimp tacos. The tacos must have been good as she ate both and then complained about being overfull for 2 hours.
For dinner Saturday we ate in, stopping at a local grocery store for steaks. The choices were slim, but we found a ribeye (for the wife) and a NY strip (for me), plus boxed macaroni & cheese and a fresh salad. Wine was the Picpoul De Pinet I posted recently. Mrs WM81 asked me to bring a bottle, and I didn't want to transport 2 half-empty bottles so I suffered a white with my steak. Yeah, don't bother feeling sorry for me, I had a good time.
Carolina Beach isn't as commercial as Wilmington or Myrtle Beach, which suits us as we spend our time on the beach.
Overall, a great weekend.

While you were having such an antagonizing weekend, I spent that time racking 4 carboys, mowing the lawn, grocery shopping and cooking a couple of chicken breasts. I must be doing something wrong!!Mrs. WM81 and I spent the weekend at Carolina Beach NC, a belated celebration of our anniversary (which was July). No pictures, but ...
