Dang some of y’all comin at us with a full meal sides and desserts wow!!!!!

Got them on the smoker now, maybe I'll make it by the 5 o'clock cut.

Full pic to come

In ref. to my earlier post, PK ( Portable Kitchen) went out of production at some point but have recently opened back up. Now they are about $500 for an all aluminum versatile rig that will never rust. They are made somewhere in Arkansas so it is an all American product.

I think you’re ready to take on Bobby Flay or Michael Symon

I'd welcome that opportunity. I'm hustling trying to meet the 5 o clock deadline, had a long day renovating a house today.

*****UPDATE*****







I have officially injured myself and still have peach cobbler and vanilla bean ice cream

My buddies and I are about to smoke and drink for a minute or two, but my meat and ice cream is ready. I packed the ice cream in more ice and covered with a towel, and I wrapped the meat in aluminum foil and a towel and placed it in my RTIC cooler to rest and await the rest of the guests...

Everything looks great! Not a bad one in the bunch!

ribs, tater salad, baked beans and peach cobbler.

3rd and final entry for me

Been grilling all weekend, had a long day at work, figured I'd mix it up in a pinch to meet
the deadline.

Fried shrimp and shrimp heads with a butter/pepper dressing (similar to longhorn steakhouse
southwestern shrimp)

Homemade hushpuppies

Potato Salad

Corn

Homemade Come-Back sauce

Homemade pecan pie (my wife's recipe and its the best I've ever had)

Recipes:
Shrimp: pluck heads, peel, butterfly and de-vien. Marinated shrimp body in 1/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce, and 1/4 cup mustard for at least 30 minutes. Add two eggs right before battering. For shrimp heads, remove horn-shell from head, pluck face/eye section off, clean under water. Batter and fry. These are awesome, reminds me of fried bream fins.

Potato Salad:
boil red potatoes (leave skin on), cube, add mayo, coarse grain dijon mustard, boiled egg, bacon, and chopped Wickles Pickles

Prairie Dust:
1 tablespoon salt
1 1⁄4 teaspoons paprika
1 1⁄4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
1⁄4 teaspoon ground coriander

Pepper Dressing:
1/2 cup jarred pepperoncini peppers
1/2 cup jarred sweet cherry peppers
1 stick of butter
juice and zest of one lemon
2 TBSP Prairie dust

Comeback sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoon hot sauce (like Texas Pete)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Pecan pie (best recipe ever):
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 400

Whisk eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Whisk in melted butter. Add brown sugar, white sugar, and flour; whisk until well combined.

Add milk and vanilla, then stir in pecans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until filling is set, 30 to 40 more minutes.

Spare ribs, tater salad, grape salad, and baked beans.

Today was simple.
Grilled boneless chicken thighs with squash and zucchini smothered down with bacon, onion and garlic.

My man DK was looking at the clock folks and slid it in right at the finish line. Skullworks said it best, there’s not a bad looking meal in the whole bunch.
