You had me at “lake!”Simple very Southern standard weekend lake cuisine. Pulled pork from the Green Egg, wife's baked beans and cole slaw with a touch of sriracha sauce. View attachment 32823
The only problem was it wasn't Clinch, Crooked or Reedy lake(s) in southern Polk County.You had me at “lake!”
I have a pizza plate for my Egg but haven't made one from scratch with it. After viewing your creations THAT is going to change!It was the kids birthday weekend, so being the occasionally over indulgent parents we are we agreed to home made pizza. At Chez GBM, this means making four different types……(with crusts made from scratch)
Led off with a four cheese (mozzarella, fontina, Romano, and parm) white pizza with gulf shrimp and mushrooms. Drizzled white truffle oil over it right after it came out of the oven.
#2 was again the same white pizza, only this time topped with rotisserie chicken, red onions, and thinly sliced fresh basil. Same white truffle oil treatment as above.
#3 was what my daughter calls “swine is fine.” Classic red pizza and mozzarella with bacon, Italian sausage, diced ham, and sliced Genoa salami. (FWIW this was my favorite; #2 was everyone else’s. )
#4 was classic red with mozzarella, Italian sausage, bacon, green pepper, mushrooms, and red onions. Crowd was getting full by now and only son and I had slices.
Mrs G made a Lebanese salad (Fatoush) which surprisingly went great with the pizzas. (Especially for those of us who added a few too many red pepper flakes.)
Dessert was home made blueberry pie (ala mode by request).
Not gonna lie; Mrs G and I are pretty beat. 364 days to rest up…..
Rigatoni with chicken sausage bolognese. Hopefully no one feels the need to immediately outdo me tonight.
