What's for dinner ?

Chicken & asparagus

We went out to eat tonight. First time dining out since my heart attack the December 4th. We went to a local spot called the Rib Crib. I've had their BBQ and it's not bad but I like my stuff better. I ordered their chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and some fried breaded okra. My wife had their smoked chicken salad. A chef type salad with smoked chicken pieces. It wasn't all that bad but the meal was far from wonderful. It was still fun to dress up and go out to eat. We would dine out more often but my wife struggles to find something that isn't high in carbs to order. Now that I watch my diet, it's impossible to order something that isn't way high in sodium. Dining out just isn't something we can or will do but a couple of times a year.

I fired up the blackstone and fried some bacon and eggs for sandwiches.

Last night I fried some burgers on the Blackstone and we used the leftover bacon from the night before to have bacon cheese burgers.
Tonight I broke down and ordered a pizza. It was late November when I had my last pie. I thought the crust (thin and crispy) tasted pretty good. It was a meat lovers pizza and it tasted like so much salt to me. I'm glad I ordered the pie. I won't be longing for another pizza anytime soon.

I made some salmon patties for dinner. It tasted too salty for my liking.

Pork blade steaks? Never heard of those.

Tonight is cheap night: Costco pizza. Tomorrow, who knows? But Saturday! Oh, Saturday... the former tax deduction son really wanted to visit this weekend for Father's Day (who was I to say NO? I might get a present out of it!). I decided to crank it to 11 and ordered a 4-pound Cowboy Ribeye from our local market's butcher. I'll reverse-sear it with some rosemary garlic butter. Should be tender as a mother's kiss.

Stepped outside my trailer and caught my dinner tonight.

Pork blade steaks? Never heard of those.

Pork blade steak is bone in steak cut from the pork shoulder.

A pork steak, also called Boston butt or pork blade steak, is a steak cut from the shoulder of the pig. Pork steaks are mentioned as far back as 1739, though without details about how they were cut or how they were cooked. Wikipedia

We had a steak left over and I warmed it up for dinner along with some mac n cheese. The wife had a sandwich

 

[AugieTN]

Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Wings, Chicken On A Stick

That 5-pound ribeye last night about killed me! Took forever, but the reverse sear brought it to absolute perfection. That cow was born to be on our plates and I did it justice! I'm taking the night off.

I fixed chicken fajitas on the Blackstone last night. That was fun and tasty.
Today I smoked a rack of St Louis style ribs. I was out of my favorite rib rub so I used something I had in the cabinet. It was a little bitter or seemed that way to me. The ribs were good but seemed over spiced a bit. I baked some beans to go with the ribs.

 

[olbriar]

I like ribs as well as baked beans hot or cold. Tonight I ate the leftover ribs and baked beans straight from the fridge.
