Grilling some boneless chicken breasts tonight.  Some butter to keep it moist, then adding BBQ sauce, and finishing with pepperjack cheese.  Sometimes add some bacon to it before the cheese.

Sides of pirogies in carmelized onions and green beans.

Going to put the ribs on the smoker around 11 and do the 3-2-1 method @ 225*.

How did they turn out?  I like the 3-2-1, but found I prefer the 3-2-1-.5 a little better...the extra half hour is after loading the ribs up in bbq sauce and tossing on the grill for a little char.

Turned out fantastic. I also did a slight char on the ribs, but I left them on the smoker and turned it up to 400*. It was enough to get that nice sticky slight char without too much of a burn. I also tried a new sauce on the ribs, The Shed Southern Sweet. I also have their sweet and spicy which I like but my wife thinks it's too spicy. Heck she even thinks ice cubes are spicy

Confession time.....I prefer my ribs with just a dry rub, no sauce......something like Bodacious BBQ rub......

We used that also on a Boston Butt(pork shoulder) cooking it overnight Saturday night and it was just fantastic.

Made shrimp on the grill last night and it was a hit. I modified a marinade that I had and it was just right. I went to Wally World and got 2 lbs. of the XL peeled and deveined the shrimp, thawed them out and took the tail off. then I put them in a bag with this marinade and let them sit in the fridge for 4 hours:

1 TBL paprika
1 TBL garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 TBL Italian seasoning
3 TBL brown sugar
3 TBL olive oil

Mix all of the ingredients in a plastic bag and then put the shrimp in the bag. I put them on wooden skewers to make it easier to handle. Grill about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are firm to the touch.

I don't eat any type of 'surf' but 3 others do. I'll make it so they can try it. 

Thanks.

I bought 2 bags of that shrimp the other night.  Great price.

That sounds awesome.

We did this yesterday as well; this recipe is almost an exact copy of what I used.  I added some lemon juice and some freshly grated garlic.  Good stuff gentlemen!

Grilled up a salmon fillet last night, on a cedar plank. Rubbed a little olive oil on it, a little lemon juice, salt, pepper, onion, and freshly grated garlic. Came out delicious.

Doing some tri tip tonight; already soaking in a marinade: some red pepper vinaigrette, salt, pepper, and garlic.

Really popular out west.  Pretty good cut of meat.

My mom used to finely chop onions along with various seasonings to add to hamburgers. She used to joke that my Dad wanted his burgers like meatloaf, She guess she added breadcrumbs.

I have always had very good outcomes with taste and moisture from adding finely chopped onions (any variety) in hamburger even if the burger is cook to much towards well done.

A cut I have fallen in love with is a skirt steak. I canâ€t believe I didnâ€t start buying it until my 40s. I tried really good cuts for fajitas, steak tacos, and stir fry. Good, not great. Great flavor. Tip... if you want cut before cooking, pop in freezer for a bit to firm it up.
