It looks like I struck it lucky with a nice day for a winter BBQ.

Beautiful view.

I'll be firing up the charcoal ceramic to grill some wings and baseball steaks for supper tonight.....so, I'm cookin'

It was only supposed to be wings, but I've never seen baseball sirloins in store so picked up a couple for the 4 of us to split.

I didn't do it over vacation (I had a hankering to be lazy all week), but I think I am going to pick up a skirt steak tomorrow. I haven't had fajitas in over a month.

I'm ashamed to say, I've never had skirt steak Fajitas, let alone made my own.

Our butcher now stocks skirt steak on a regular basis, so I'll be doing them soon.

They are very easy. I just soak mine in beer for a bit, and I bought some fajita seasoning from a local supermercado. Just make sure you cut the strips against the grain. If you cut them with the grain then you won't have much luck with chewing them.

Cutting against the grain (very shaving related term) is important. Owen got that from me. See, hanging out in the MH has its rewards.

Ah, I see you're practicing for the DR. I would say smoke on the horizon is a good choice.

If only I had my new camera, the sun rise was better about 15 minutes earlier but the phone does not like low light.
I'm still in the research stage. Until then a crappy cell phone will have to do.
The little woman told me yesterday she wanted a cheap ukulele. I responded with if you don't mind me getting a new camera. Deal done......I did not tell her how much the camera plus lens would cost.

Sorry guy I got off subject back to the Que. I have to go out the buy the ukulele today so may wrap after 4 hours or so and finish in the oven.

Yep. I messed up cutting the first one I ever made. When you look at the whole skirt, the width looks about the same length as the fajita strips you get at restaurants. So, I thought that you just had to cut it that direction. That direction, of course, is with the grain. Made taking bites much more difficult. For the uninitiated, I attached a crude picture. The skirt won't be as regular as I have drawn, but you will get the picture. The blue stripes represent the grain. The skirts I have bought can usually be cut into 3 pieces- might be more or less for shorter or longer skirts. The red stripes represent the cuts you should make for the slices. I hope this makes sense.

She'll need lessons. I would say that brings her up to your camera deal.

A mish mash of foods tonight, but delicious none the less.

S&P wings, Drumsticks and Baseball Sirloins over lump and Apple. Homemade Garlic & Parmesan bread sticks with freshly made red wine marinara, veggies with Chipotle dip.

A great Saturday feast.

 

[Intrigued]

Looks greatly tasty, Bruce!

 

[DoctorShavegood]

Bruce, you think like me. "If I'm ganna fire this pit up I'm putting any and everything on there."

I would eat that.

 

[davent]

Wowsers Dave, that is a beautiful plate. Colorful, healthy and I bet delicious.

One of these days I'll cook fish again.

 

[DoctorShavegood]

Dave, the pesto is really the center of the dish. Fabulous.

 

[oc_in_fw]

I have some habanero wing sauce that I am going to marinate some chicken thighs in tonight. I need to figure whether I want the skin on or go skinless.
