off the grill tonight

just did burgers last night with a side of grilled zuccini, sprinkled parmesan cheese over the veggie.  

o-k...i did it tonight. i was talking to a friend and they make this alot and like it, so i tried it tonight and it was good! it is scallops wrapped in bacon. i have never had scallops in my life, and i think anything with bacon tastes good anyway! i had no idea what scallops tasted like and boy...take your checkbook to the store to buy them! $16.00 a pound! whew! anyways, they are a shell fish, and looking at them is how they come outta the shell, i thought maybe they were sliced cuz that's what they look like in the package. looks just like any white fish meat. so i thawed them out, and cooked the bacon 1/2 way cooked, wrapped it around the scallop and stuck a toothpick thru to hold the bacon on. stick them back on the grill on the sides showing thru the bacon. i didn't put any seasoning on them as i wanted to know what they tasted like first. i was told to watch them cook real close as to not overcook them. said overcooking them makes them rubbery. you want them to just start turning brownish and cook them slow on low heat. oh...and use thin sliced bacon around them. got them all grilled up, and they were good, the scallops are tasteless i think, guess that's what the bacon is for! they were likable, but i think if i ever do them again, i'll grill them by themselves and grill the bacon by itself and combine the 2 after grilling is done. alot less messy on the prep. now i know what kind of seasoning will work next time. i'll grill them again sometime. it's one of them out of the ordinary meals to do up. 

SPG...mix equal amounts together ina bowl. instead of salt i use "no salt" it's potassium and tastes just like salt. ground up black pepper, and granulated garlic. mix real good, and it works well to pour it in an old sprinkle container, and just mark it with a ink marker. now...this mix will be really strong, so a little goes a long way. i don't use it on everything, but when i do use it it's nice it's already mixed and ready. make sure your container seals good so it doesn't clump up inside your shaker.  

SPG?

did another beef roast (round roast) on the grill today, put in a foil pan, poured sum beef broth and au jus over it then sprinkled a very little bit of SPG on it, just a few pinches, sprinkled sum crushed parsley over the top, quartered sum small red taters and laid them in around the roast. put the grill on the lowest setting and simmered the roast for 1-1/2 hours. both roast and taters came out very tender and the taste was amazing! sliced up what we didn't eat for samwiches later.  

Lars....chopped taters are little squares cut from the taters. i slice them one way then turn them a 1/4 turn and slice them again, then turn one more time and slice again, watch out when using a sharp knife, them taters git a little slippery. 

again...not off the grill tonight...cept the bacon done earlier this week...had BLT's for supper. fresh towmaters out of our measly garden!  

Now I see this...just finished supper about 30 minutes away!

also bought sum bison beef, we'll have that thru the days ahead. 

did flat iron steaks with sliced red taters tonight. had to drive 50 sum miles to get them flat irons. the store had buy 1 gits one free, so we loaded up! i spent the afternoon shink wrapping them with the food saver. sure saves lots of room in the freezer.

a trivit is a thing you put between the meat and the hot. helps keep meat from burning on the bottom. can use lots of dif things for a trivit. just make sure it won't melt in the heat. sometimes i use a metal cookie cutter for a trivit

i do make my own hash browns too, the shredded style. i always leave the skins on.   

between a golf ball and a lemon in size. can make them any size you want.

Chopped taters? You mean hash browns?
