We celebrated joint anniversaries the other night with our BFF's. We dined out in Santa fe at Geronimo's which is always the #1 restaurant in Santa fe out of ~300. Its been named one of the Top 10 best restaurants in the US as well. Both the service and dinner were top notch. We don't go out very often and this was definitely a special occasion. If your ever in the area this is a must culinary experience.

One of my favorites, the rest of the family doesn’t like fish, so I make a dinner for me.
Lake Erie perch, sweet corn, garlic scapes, caramelized onions, splash of salsa, all drenched in olive oil, in a foil tent, grilled at 400-500 for 20-25 minutes.
Washed down with a juice bucket Viognier.

Up (not bright) but early today! Maiden voyage for a new BBQ toy. Snagged an Inkbird controller off Amazon at a crazy sale price. My BBQ Guru controller is still working fine but they no loner make it anymore (my model anyway) and was worried about what if it died so here we go! First off the Guru was AA battery operated and no app so although it controlled temp precisely you had to go check on it yourself each time. The Inkbird has a USB C port and can run off a battery pack or AC plus it comes with a WIFI/BT capability. It has ports for the grill temp and 3 ports for meat probes all in a single device. So far so good. Hopefully the build quality will last. Seems a little more lightweight compared to the Guru.

Coming up nicely to temp.
I snagged the same deal. Description and reviews say it fits 18" WSM. This would make the long smokes so much easier. Have not received it yet.

Looks like a beautiful celebration. It was very thoughtful of you to bring your daughter along for the evening.
You will love it. It comes with two adapters and a couple of spacers (if needed) to get the adapter to seat securely. I loved the AC and not having to worry about the battery running down on a long cook. One thing is that there is a toggle on the app to turn the fan "on". If you don't hit that toggle no fan. Seems like the fan shouldn't need a toggle but OK. The app has a nice readout for cook temp and then you swipe to see your meat cook temp with a nice graph over time. There is an alarm that is set to go off if the lid is opened and the temp drops. I shut that off quickly. Alarm for when you reach your set point. Over all I liked it and it performed very well on basically an 11 hour cook yesterday. All the Q was excellent. Pork Butt, Baby Backs, Ring of Ho-made German snasuage.

Grilled shrimp with cilantro dipping sauce. My wife’s new favorite 
Last night by request. Parmesan crusted steak 
Looks fantastic. I do a cilantro sauce for salmon. Greek yogurt, Mayo, cilantro, lemon juice, onion and garlic powder.

On this post July 4th weekend we took inspiration from the 50th state and made Huli-Huli chicken. Served with an Asian noodle salad, cabbage with garlic and juniper and my 2022 white pinot noir...
Yesterday Mrs. WM81 and I celebrated our 33rd anniversary. We went out for dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant, enjoying calamari for an appetizer and veal dishes as our main courses. We discussed going for dessert ... but after dinner we were stuffed, no room for dessert, so we went home.
During the latter part of a card game (Mille Bornes) we enjoyed a dessert she made -- a simple one of vanilla ice cream, fresh cherries, fresh whipped cream, and graham crackers. Fresh cherries and vanilla ice cream go very well together!
Why did we play cards on our anniversary? Because we like it!

Old standby - Americanized version of Banger & Mash with steamed broccoli and summer squash from the garden.
You gotta have dessert!
We had some smoked chicken from the 4th that needed using or be tossed ... so I made soup.
Frozen stock from a previous Costco rotisserie chicken carcass, chicken from a couple of previous chickens, plus the smoked chicken.
I sweated a couple of small chopped onions, then added the stock. Then carrots, potatoes, and chicken.

You are my kind of cook, Bryan. Nothing goes to waste. I still worry about the "poor people in Europe" that I heard so much about when I was a kid just after WWII.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
According to my parents, they moved to Africa some time during my early childhood.
