What's on the grill, folks?

[deadeye]

Leftovers for lunch today.  Venison chops in gravy over bread.  We had potatoes yesterday but only enough left for one so my wife had the potatoes.  Didn't even need a knife for the venison. 

[Dotch]

Sounds yummy deadeye! 

Tried out the new batch of lamburger tonite. Consistently fantastic as usual. Mixed it with diced onion and seasoned it with Weber's gourmet burger seasoning. Was some apple wood left in the smoker boxes so used that up. A little tossed salad & some Birdseye peas washed down with a Busch Light. Best of all there were 4 leftover burgers so if the weather gets snotty and we can't grill the turkey Thusday we can have those bad boys. 

[mike89]

he was!!

[Dotch]

I'm worried about Boober. Guessing his wife has him tethered to some furniture somewhere...

[glenn57]

he's a  big boy...…….i'm sure he can handle it!!!!!!!!

[Bobberineyes]

THAT would have been the case Dotch if we didnt have company, 4 1/2 hour smoked bird  with all the fixings. Company left a bit ago and momma is out.... Time to help break down all this grub with some Busch linghts!!

Why not have beer instead?

  I are, top shelf...or is it taste great, less filling???

Drinking Busch Light Boober is prolly trying to maintain his stealth & cat like reflexes by watching his carbs. My brother is diabetic & it's one he actually likes. I drink it because a bunch of it comes home after the State Fair and it's free! 

Already on leftovers tonite. Grilled the 11.5 lb. turkey in a little under 2 hours. Very moist and whatever that wood was in the smoker boxes, it was a hit. Mrs. Cheviot even commented on it as she was eyeing me up. It was about that time the trytophan kicked in and she conked out. Close call. Thought I was goner for a minute. Managed to squeeze in a pretty good nap meself after that. 

 

[mike89]

well my boneless pork loin with pine apple was great!!!  stayed tender and juicy!!  it was a hit!!!

Fresh Pineapple Juice contains an enzyme bromelain, which is a natural meat tenderizer. It is used in many commercial meat tenderizers. This enzyme is destroyed in the canning process, so canned Pineapple Juice won't work. Frozen will work; powdered or bottled won't

[mike89]

that is true Reb, I forgot that!!  thanks for the reminder!!!

[delcecchi]

that is true Reb, I forgot that!!  thanks for the reminder!!!

And that enzyme will turn meat into mush if you aren't careful.    Used to be a cheap steak place here in Rochester... Bonanza or Ponderosa or somthing like that.  Reb probably was buddies with the guy.   Anyway they used that tenderizer on their cheap steaks so they were sort of edible.  Got one one time that they didn't get it on evenly and half was mush and the other half was leather....

(It was at Miracle Mile for the locals)

And how do you purport to  know all this? Did they come out and tell  you?

[glenn57]

 

[mike89]

moderation is the key!!!!!!!!!!!!   

[Dotch]

[delcecchi]

And how do you purport to  know all this? Did they come out and tell  you?

I recall that the information that the steaks were treated was in the fine print on the menu.    What was that stuff they used to sell, Adolph's meat tenderizer?   Did you ever use it?   Or was that before your  time?   

Do you recall the joint I am talking about?   Would have been in the early 80's.

[delcecchi]

I found it.... Pineapple extract!!!

Yes. My roomates brother Dennis was the manager there.


Almost every home in the 60's had Adolph's.

I remember in the early 80's that there was a thing going around that you could cut something out of the garden and then just pour pineapple juice on it to preserve it.  Lot's of people were doing it too.  Then they sent out warnings that there wasn't enough acid or whatever it was in the juice to do a good safe job of it.  Can't remember what it was though.  Squash???

[mike89]

I don't recall that??

Yup. It was how to preserve and make canned "zucchini pineapple". Just about killed some people. 

Mikey inspects and uses only the best natural pineapples, though.......

[Rebel SS]

I don't recall that??

Yes you do. '60's jar, then they changed image in the 70's and actually added garlic powder to  some of it. That, and also Accent sold a lot, I know, until they said MSG is really bad for ya. Tell the Chinee restaurants that.................

[LPS]

Ya that's what it was.  Cut up zucchini and put it in canning jars and pour pineapple juice on it. 

[mike89]

yup Reb I remember that, it was the veggie LPS was asking about that I don't recall... 

[LPS]

I remember it cuz me and 2 buddies rented a nice old farm house on the edge of town.  We planted a huge garden and had a whole lot of zucchini.  Had no idea what to do with all of it so this was one of the things to do with it.  The rest ended up getting plowed under.

And if you used too much or left it too long you didn't need to chew the steak..
I don't recall it having MSG, but maybe back then.   

[Rebel SS]

It didn't have MSG. Accent did and was.

[LPS]

I remember that used to be the stuff to use when grilling.
