Dinner time

Just me and the missus this evening. Hamburgers on the grill...





Toasted bun. Sometimes simple is all you need.

Looks good buddy. Looks like you got dinner tomorrow night too .

Had family in town and my wife decided to cook a lot. Last night was pork, rice, lentils and tostones. I was so hungry I forgot to snap a pic. Tonight she made pasta from scratch and bolognese. Some thicker, bucatini for the kids and then a rustic, thinner fettuccine.

Pork chops and apples simmered in butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar...great Midwest fall meal

From Saturday.

That look spectacular. How long and at what temp did you smoke it? I have been meaning to give a brisket a try but have not gotten around to it just yet.

250 for about 12 hours. It was a slightly dry. Next one I'm doing at 225.

Yes, 225.
Do you also double wrap it in foil right after that stall period to maintain the juices to finish it off for the last few hours?

I’ve heard of “pork chops and apple sauce” but didn’t know it was a real meal!
Looks good.

It's a sin to use foil in smoking anything. It's a crutch. I wrap in butcher paper, maybe add another towel around, and put in a cooler.

I am a sinner. Please forgive me.

A little breakfast for supper on this post election evening. Bacon and smoked sausage alongside an omelet with sautéed diced tomatoes, onions, spinach, cheddar and parmesan cheese (the banana is just along for the ride)...





Not pictured, but also had a piece of toast with some homemade mayhaw jelly. Found a place that sold the juice and made a couple of makings.

the banana is just along for the ride

I bet it is.

@soflagator - I'm gonna guess being born with three arms has presented innumerable challenges.

Tried something new. A friend tried Every Plate, one of the mail order meal kits service, and was able to set me up with three meals for two at no cost. We had five for lunch today so we decided to try all three. They were:

Parmesan Vegetable Pasta


Chicken Stir Fry


and Pork Pineapple Tacos


The meals fed all five with a serving of each leftover, so one meal for two is plenty for me and the missus. Preparing the produce was the most time consuming part, but all in all not a bad option for weeks the kids are at college. They all tasted really good, well seasoned, and they have a pretty good variety. Comes with recipes and everything you need (except salt, pepper, olive oil, and butter). We’ll do this again even though I’m usually a “from scratch” guy.

We’ve done those as well. Blue Apron. blueapron.com. We’ll do the 3 pack once in a blue moon to get new ideas. I’ve even given my mom a 3 pack as a gift. I like that it comes with all you need but there is usually a lot of prep. I’ve kept a couple recipes as one my wife loves as her favorite meal.

Good to know that you liked it. Would you and @NVGator recommend it as a gift?

Yes. I gave it to my Mom and while she loved it, it’s just her. I thought it be great to make and then have a left over. She’s big on leftovers but somethings didn’t keep well, i.e. salads or such. Great for 2 people.
