Grilled vegetables and shrimp for dinner. I’ll try and get pictures of the shrimp. Kids might beat me to it before I have a chance.

We had skewers and grilled grapes with burrata yesterday. No time for pics

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Did you slightly warm the buratta?

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd no, marinate the grapes in olive oil, vinegar, fennel seeds and garlic, on the bbq for a few minutes, the on the burrata with the marinade.

Edit: burrata not straight from the fridge though

@Tago-Mago salivating…

@Tago-Mago that sounds really good.

First time doing pizza this past weekend. Turned out great.

[mclaincausey]

Looks great @bluemantra especially as a first effort. Pizza is hard.

Here is our last effort. Basically a margherita with pepperoni. Next time I want to put a turkey pan over the pizza upside down to heat the toppings a bit more but it was really good.

[bluemantra]

@mclaincausey I couldn’t believe how hard it was. I watched a ton of videos. I made six 10” pizzas and I was the last to go so I learned a lot by watching everyone else.

Are you making yours in the oven? I also used Delallo pizza dough kit.

[mclaincausey]

@bluemantra that was on a gas grill with a glazed ceramic pizza stone

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey I'm surprised you didn't use the kamado!

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf if the pizza cooker insert I have didn’t leak like a sieve I may have. I did use the stone from it but I couldn’t justify the effort this time for just doing a couple of quick pizzas.

Itching to do a low and slow project soon and I have some meats in the freezer. Next one may be smoked and then air fried wings though.

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey That totally makes sense. I usually blast my pizzas in the oven. It makes so much more sense for a normal friday night pie.

Can't wait to see how the wings come out! Will you brine them first?

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf thinking a pickle brine on some and marinating others in kind of a Viet lemongrass nuac cham affair. The latter won’t need to be spun in anything!

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey A man after my own heart. That all sounds amazing. Also, I love that you're do two kinds. For Science. I'm a sucker for lemongrass, so I'm totally intrigued.

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf we know that one works. We did some pork chops that way once and figured out it is amazing for chicken too!

[seawolf]

I love that. I need to get some lemongrass and do the same.

I'm doing a bastardized mojo criollo marinade with my chicken tonight. I'll take some pics in a bit. I'm pairing it with some vinegar slaw with an apple/apple cider vinaigrette, grilled corn, and some rosemary roasted potatoes.

@goosehd looks delicious. Grilled salmon is on the list
