loaf Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Friday after work heading to the local brewpub for some black and blue stout: A milk stout with a twist! We added 22 lbs. of semi-sweet Swiss chocolate to the boil, then 250 lbs. of blueberry puree during fermentation to create this unique stout. 6.0% abv. 18 IBU's and some of their large soft pretzels with spicy sauce Saturday: beer all day Sunday: going over to the Cousin's house. Not sure what they're gilling but probably burgs and dogs. And beer. Monday: don't know yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundaynfl Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I do know one meal this weekend will be a grilled ribeye topped with a foie gras butter, on a bed of roasted potatoes and a black truffle sauce!! I figured one meal should be on the "light" side this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer, beer, and more beer Sunday - Smoked ribs and having the family over. Probably just iced sun tea. Monday - TBD Tuesday - detox on toilet for 12 hours. We hit 99 in Portland last Friday so my grill has been working overtime for the past couple of weeks. There was no way I was turning on an oven / stove in the house. So far the grill has seen: Filets Porterhomes (that must be right) More Filet, seared quickly and then sliced into strips and added to portabellos, red wine, onion, garlic, red pepper, smoked Rogue blue for steak sandwiches. Bread was also grilled. Copper River Sockeye (yes, it is that time of year again....and its so good). Halibut King Crab Legs Scallops Chicken The one thing that I'm doing this year that I've never done before (kicking myself now) is using a cast iron skillet on the grill for searing. Nothing fancy...just a $20 Lodge Skillet that gets nice and hot and has been awesome so far. I'm still wondering what I'll be grilling tonight, much less this weekend.

I stunk up the house so bad the first time that the wife has since made me go outside to sear them on the grill burner. Nothing like searing on a cast iron skillet then finishing them off on the grill while it's snowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like searing on a cast iron skillet then finishing them off on the grill while it's snowing. I was impressed with the difference it made for steak and allows me to put fish skin side up for a few seconds before finishing it on the grill skin side down. The real surprise was how easy it is to sear scallops. I have found that using an oil with a higher smoke point makes a huge difference as well.
