I'm doing Jamaican Jerk chicken quarters on the grill tonight with a grill basket of veggies.
I just reordered the wonderful mixture...

What's up at your house?

Kayelle, we've got the mind meld thing going again. I was halfway to posting a new thread and when I double-checked you had just done that!


I have chicken breasts. And mushrooms. And broccoli. Will introduce them to each other in some fashion. Proof of kitchen fussing to follow...

We've been smoking and braising a chuck roast this afternoon, using this recipe: Pulled Smoked Chuck Roast – BBQ Chuckies

I brought it in to shred after seven hours and it wasn't tender, so I put it in the Instant Pot. Time to check it. Hopefully it's ready.

We'll have that over leftover rice with a watermelon-feta-lemon-mint salad and some refreshing citrus sangria.

I've been thinking about smoking one of the chuck roasts I have in the freezer. Thanks for the link.

That looks delicious!

Leftovers tonight, though not very hungry. We have several options. Just got home from being gone all day to celebrate the youngest GDs 10th birthday. Past time for them to stop growing up!!!!

Craig did start making cupcake chicken thighs yesterday to take over there to finish for lunch today. We picked up some sides at Publix. This was a family only party. Next Saturday is the party with her friends.

Thanks and you're welcome! We've made this a few times before and it's never been ready to pull after six hours of smoke and braise time. I'd allow at least eight hours. This is a three-pound roast.

Instead of making barbecue sauce with additional ingredients, I added this jar of sauce my brother and SIL gave us for Christmas (from a set of four). It's thinner than I expected, so I'll need to simmer it for a while.

Jambalaya and tow homemade orange creamsisles for desert.

Pork tenderloin on the grill, garden salad, leftover pasta salad.

Delicious sounding meals! Joey and GG, your dinners look like winners again. However, our dinner was very yummy and I'm not jealous this time.

We ended up with salad, prosciutto-wrapped figs stuffed with goat cheese, broccoli, and chicken. I took one of the wedges of my preserved lemon and cut it fine, and made a bath of a tiny bit of lemon juice, olive oil, smashed garlic, and rosemary for the chicken pieces to rest in. After sauteing them, I moved them to a plate and sauteed mushroom slices. Added the chicken back when the mushrooms were done and tossed some rinsed capers into the pan. Today, instead of just steaming the broccoli, I put a couple Tbsp of water into a frypan until it started to throw off steam, melted a couple Tbsp of butter into the pan, and kinda sauteed/steamed the broccoli. Turned out so much better!

Heh, I just noticed that I used all the same patterned plates. That doesn't usually happen!

Nice, pass the Figs please.

Last night I made some enchiladas. I cooked the hamburg in the cast iron and then dumped in some finely diced onions along with some grated cheddar cheese and half a can of enchilada sauce. Then I filled the tortillas with the meat and topped it with more sauce and cheese. I put some jalapenos on half of them (for me).
