What's Cookin? The season opener

Late game to open but that just gives us all day to prepare.

Pork loin roast with a beef bottom roast in the crock pot along with carrots. Mashed potatoes and gravy.

What you got?

GO STEELERS

 

Today I'm keeping it simple!!! Hot Pastrami and Swiss Sandwiches topped with hot mustard, Chips and dip, Brownies for desert and to wash it all down Arnold Palmers!!!

Normally I like to grill for late games, but I find myself often starting late. So I'm having to watch the game and during commercial breaks running to the grill to check whatever I'm grilling so it wont burn. Not this game!!!! I'm going to be front and center from pregame to when the whistle blows. This is the most important game of the season no to mention the Season opener and I'm not missing anything!!!!

GO STEELERS GET THAT W!!!!

 

I got a new electric smoker last weekend so I'm going to try it with some Baby back ribs while using the charcoal smoker as well. Got a whole chicken I'm trying dry brining technique on that I'm going to slow smoke as well. Figured it would be a good day to watch football and work on my bbq techniques.

Low and slow is the way to go.

 

Let us know how it turns out. One thing about trying these new cookers out is its all good no matter what but you get to keep trying.

 

Sounds like a hot time.

 

Pull over first chief, it's hard to steer with wing sauce on your hands.

 

What a statement a win tonight would be. Let’s shut the haters up. Go Steelers!!!

 

Pregame meal of smoked salmon and asparagus.

 

Grilled ribeye and salad! (Though that's what I make almost every Sunday)
Here's hoping the defense chews up the chowdah!

 

Well my sister surprised me with artichokes this morning but I have to prepare and cook them. Love them but such a pain in ass to make. I'm sure they will be eaten way before game time so just beer and popcorn for game.

At least the chokes will ease the pain of hearing my neighbors yell every time the Eagles score

Could always have some New England clam chowder, Boston cream pie and a Sam Adams but that would just be wrong today.

 

Tuttoroso crushed tomatoes (secret seasoning). Handcrafted ( by me ) and seasoned meatballs . Sweet and hot Italian sausage and my first attempt at braciole ( seasoned as well). Last but not least the biggest Rigatoni pasta that I can find.....

 

the only choking I want to see is from NE.

 

Artie chokes three for a dollar?

 

Ray, please pour me 3 fingers of that Oban on the far right kind Sir. That should not only hit the spot, but remove it if necessary (depending on the outcome tonight).

 

Going out for wings with Bengals fans for their game while wearing my Roethlisberger jersey. Lot's of heckling will be going on. I dish it back to them as fast as they can spoon feed me their delusional wise cracks.

 

Chile Rellenos again. It’s fresh poblano season so I take advantage of it.

 

We just had some good burgers and fries, so I'm still kind of stuffed. Not sure what we'll eat for dinner tonight, but my wife and kids asked if I'd pick up some ice cream from Ritters tonight for the game, so I promised them I would.

 

TBone's on the grill, corn on the cob.

 

always a good backup plan. Wife and I made a long trip for some pizza we like last night and we don't often get.
