Any Time is Grillin Time

Lechon is always a hit. Takes some effort though. 'Bout 30 - 40 minutes per pound of meat. But ya get it right and you'll feed a platoon for a day. Biggest I've cooked was a195 pound pig. My secret is in the rub. I use "tamarindo" in the primary rub, to be rubbed into the meat and rested no less than 48 hours before the cook. Then a light rub and stuffing with lemon grass. Then it's all about being patient enough to keep it well oiled on the rotisserie as it cooks to perfection with a crispy skin.

Tonight is stir fry though it's miserably hot out. I'll dice up some chicken breast fingers that were on sale for the meat and I bought some frozen stir fry veggies, Kroger brand for the vegetables. It's always a Costco veggie blend but I'm out. I'll fry the chicken chunks with some garlic and steam and then fry the veggies. I like to use a stir fry sauce to liven up the mix. I'll fry Uncle Ben's instant garden rice with an egg in toasted sesame oil and add a bit of oyster sauce to finish.
It will be yummy but I'll melt down cooking the meal. It's so seldom that the wife requests something for dinner, there was no way I was going to say no.

Hot or cold, I always break a sweat doing stir fry.

It's a hot cook for sure. The stir fry was pretty good. I like the veggie mix we've been buying at Costco better than the Kroger mix. It was plenty tasty but I missed the bamboo shoots and water chestnuts in the Costco blend. The wife is happy... nuff said.
