I got home from work and was greeted with "Start the grill, I have a bunch of wings and we have friends coming over. I hate it when that happens! :biggrin:

Here are the wings on the grill -- half with Dizzy Pig, Pineapple Head, and half with John Henry's Hot Wing Rub.

Susan added smoked salmon and spinach pinwheels, and a killer salad (avocado, red cabbage, green grape, and poppy seed dressing) and hot chicken dip.

Here we are getting started with a nice evening with a nice Zinfindel...

... which we finished off by watching Casa Blanca, in HD and drinking some cask strength MacAllans! Yes, I am very mellow about now!

I haven't gone out of my mind in the kitchen lately, but I did good last night.

Steamed Haricots Vert with Leeks
Gratin of Yukon Gold and Maytag Blue

Grilled hanger steaks with baked potatoes. Wine was provided by a good buddy, a '94 Domaine de la Grange des Peres, Vin de Pays d'Herault, one of the best of the Languedoc.

A special touch was that the wine was given to him directly by the late Jean-Claude Vrinat. It's considered axiomatic that Vrinat was France's greatest restaurateur- compared to him, Drew Nieporent may as well be Ray Kroc.

Sounds scrumptious!
 
Sorry no time for food-porn photos.

BBQ today for a few moms;

Full smoker, 6 racks of babybacks, 4 slabs of spares, 7# turkey breast, armadillo eggs, rib tips, and sausage cooked on black cherry and white oak logs. Finished off with a fresh Key Lime Pie.
 
A Corazon Anejo followed by a very tasty Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat after a long drive and a weekend full of depressing work. Rather nice to come back to.

Sad day at casa Ouch. Finished off the last of the Early's sausage. I will be wallowing in a slough of despond for the next week or so. :frown:
 
I needed some more grilled pizza tonight.

The first pie started with some pesto, followed by fresh mozz., sharp provolone, feta, grilled chicken breast, and pine nuts.

proxy.php


The second one was regular sauce, mozz. sharp provolone, and pepperoni. For this one, I cooked the pepperoni, in the microwave, on paper towels, to get some of the grease out of it. I really liked the result.

proxy.php


Got the Egg up to 700.

proxy.php


Here is the first little beauty just after I pulled it. I like my long, sharp knife better than a roller, to cut the pies.

Here is a shot of the crust on the pesto pizza.

Here is the pepperoni pie, still on the grill.

After we were done eating a friiend stopped over and I put a couple of slices back on the still hot Egg and gave them about a minute to warm and they were almost better than when fresh. The toppings had set nicely and the extra minute on the stone reall did a nice job on the crust.
