We have a lady that comes Mon and  Thu-Sat selling agua fresca and elotes out of the back of her Mitsubishi Eclipse. Killer stuff the corn is a calorie bomb but totally worth it.

I recently got a Lodge skillet with grates, sort of like an indoor grill pan. It worked pretty nicely for some steak tips I made, but it's impossible to get clean. Gunk gets in between the grates, and then when I try to wash it it's impossible to clean and dry. I'm going to have to completely re-season it.

My regular Lodge skillet and dutch oven are great, however.

I have a braising pan like that as well. All you gotta do is put some water in it and put it on stovetop. Bring it up to almost a boil and let it do that for a while. That will loosen almost all the stuck on gunk.

I'll give that a go, thanks!

I love these these Izze drinks. Interesting flavors. Not exactly low on calories, but fewer than soda.

I like those too, right now my favorites are the blood orange and limonata flavored San Pellegrinos in the can.

Sprinkle some baking soda in the water will help too.

Ramen, so many different variations out there.

[Dave2512]

Love Ramen bunch of good places in Denver. 

First attempt at wood fired 'za on the grill. Used leftover ribs, smoked sausage, bourbon peach sauce, red onion and cheddar mix. Good stuff but it took ruining one to get it right. My stone is Walmart crap. Washed it down with a Manhattan or...

I have been a vegetarian for 52 years. I am not a vegan, but I don't like either eggs or cheese. I also don't like mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, beetroot, parsnips, turnips, swede, cauliflower, or broccoli What I hate most though is fussy eaters

The bourbon peach sauce and the ribs sold me, especially washed down with more bourbon and vermouth! Sounds really good!

What do you eat other than rice and beans?

 

My wife and daughter started us on a Paleo type diet. We're eating less processed stuff. That seems to be good for our digestive systems.

Potatoes, pulses, pasta, vegetable curries, and chilies, vegetable pies (but not with the above in them), cottage pies (but not with the above in them) vegi burgers and sausages, All sorts really, I'm not very fussy

Cottage pies are really good. I think I'll order one for lunch! Never had a vegetarian one, though.

Falafel gets a lot of love, but sabich is delicious as well. If you're ever in NY, imho, Taim makes the best falafel and well worth the visit if you love falafel. Below is its sabich.

I learned the chimney approach from Good Eats many years ago. It's the closest you're going to get to replicating a commercial salamander at home. The high heat is important because you want to get the Maillard reaction going on as much of the surface as quickly as possible or the heat will transfer into the interior and overcook the meat.

I've been getting into a lot of what's on this site lately: http://amazingribs.com

There's a lot of good stuff over there on technique, product reviews, recipes, etc. How to set up a 2-zone cook is a must-read IMO, and the reverse sear technique is in there.

Actually I upgraded my grill setup based on information I learned from there. I just bought a Weber Premium 26 and a Slow N Sear for it, and fired off some awesome pork chops with asparagus and grilled bread last night (forgot to take pics, sorry). With more time learning the new setup and a gasket for the lid, I'm going to be grilling and smoking a lot in the future. The neighbors are going to hate me, but it's a price I'm willing to pay

I got my Weber 26" for fathers day 2 years ago. I have well over 200 cookouts on it already. I love it and  yes, I do grill out that much
