Leftovers. 

Here you have one of these Quarter Pounder clone burgers I make. We’ve also  got some zucchini and onions and mozzarella. Finally: tomatoes, onions, mozzarella/basil with a Peter Luger steak sauce I’ve attempted to recreate. 

Summer. 

  Also steamed mussels with my brother in law’s Two Hearted clone. Good stuff:

My cous cous turned out like dough, why?
Too much or too little water?

Too much.

Thanks!
I followed the pack instructions, half a cup of cous cous and half a cup of water. It was the only downer to a very nice chicken tagine.
I made it using wholemeal cous cous previously and the cous cous turned out fine. First time I tried white.

@eddiec has had some good meals in Europe, I've followed on Facebook.  Great eats, beers, and Euro PJ shows...so jealous.  Maybe someday I will have my chance again.

Back from Barcelona. Went to two of the local Galician places I always hit which are right by my brother's apartment. First pic is octopus resting at O Meu Lar. Second is Pulpo a la Gallega at Zigo.

Headed out today for the bayou, Cliffy, I think trip #2 this year will be in October.

Based on taking 1-2 of these trips for about the last 15 years, I can expect we may eat:

Fried & Grill variations of our haul:  typically Reds and Speckled Trout.  Also some catfish, gar, and (yikes!) gator could be on the menu.

We typically grab a sack of Oysters and/or Shrimp from the boats as they pass by, on their way back in.  Cook those a few different ways and also eat raw.

Crawfish - usually do a boil of a few batches of mud bugs with the andouille, corn, pots, etc

Boudin.  When in Louisiana this is a must.  Breakfast of the gods

Blue crab - also a must.  We crack crabs for bait and we eat some as well.

The best food will be the 3,000 watered down American beers to try and stay hydrated.  You know it is hot when you drink about 10 of them in the morning out on the water and do not take a leak once.  Sweat 'em out!

Will try to snap pics but the phones dont work out there and they almost always stay in the bag once we arrive at camp.

 A little German inspired summer cooking tonight.  Grilled pork chops, fresh sauerkraut from the farmers market, homemade potato salad, corn on the cob.  Minimal veggies as it should be.

Garden is finally coming along, looking forward to some good fresh food!  Just summer squash so far, but cukes, mater's, onions, and beans will be coming soon.  Blueberries are about done, it will be cruise control soon.

Reaper plants are finally starting to grow now that the fucking sun finally decided to come out this year. I didn’t think those bastards were ever gonna take off.

Have a pic of the skrimp chow down on night one, will share at some point.

I feel like I ran 17 marathons in a row.  Shrimp/Redfish/Boudin/Crab/Shrimp Po Boys - passed on the Oysters and Crawdads this trip.  Next trip. 

So many coors lights and tequila shots.  I need to detox for a week or two.

Great food, great times.

I was at the local market Saturday afternoon. My fish guy had these huge langoustines. I should have taken a pic of them. I used the head and claws to make an Asian broth. Meat from the tail was unbelievably sweet, juicy and tender.
