    Tonight it’s steak, grilled rare, leftover mushroom risotto and Caesar salad again.


    Is that blue cheese on top of that steak? That is a delicious combo. 
    Not this time as the risotto and salad were already rich and creamy.  This time I finished it off with a bit of butter and chives.
    Yum. Just as good 😋

    My fish guy landed a Tuna this week. I ordered online and picked up a piece of belly today. Butter.


    It was the fattiest cut, which tastes the best, but very hard to keep it from falling apart. Threw in some Ebi and Tako as well.
    Octopus is underrated.
    Toro is overrated.

    I would have eaten every piece there though!

    I sometimes prefer chutoro to otoro

    Today’s grill was just dogs, corn, and summer squash. Probably drumsticks and thighs tomorrow, burgers later this week. Still got some sweet potatoes and regular potatoes to toss on, too.

    Ok people. I am stuck by myself in my little NYC apartment. I need to live vicariously through one of you who is having a fab Memorial Day backyard bbq or feast of some kind. Show me some photos, please.

    I didn't cook out. I threw a layered cook into the crock-pot. I also made macaroni salad and coleslaw. Made it in the morning because we gardened all day. Just didn't want to leave you behind. No pictures though.

    Thanks. That sounds delicious. I usually go to an annual Memorial Day bbq that one of my friends has. So, this year was a bit different. Thanks for sharing  :)

    No pics as it was pretty standard fare....poolside grilling of corn, hot dogs, and hamburgers.
    Didn't get into the sides, just made extra corn

    Easy....cheaper...and I am not stuck eating leftovers all week.

    Also, I didn't have to have my in laws all at our house the weekend like we normally do for any holidays overlapping with the pool being open.
    This was great.

    I picked up my pig, minus a ham, the bacon, and jowls, which are still smoking.

    Looks great! Nothing like having the freezer full. Jealous of the jowls smoking. Love that cut.

    No Memorial Day bbq this year. We laid low, and I decided to make some Bibimbap. Bulgogi beef, sauteed spinach finished with toasted sesame oil, approximated a kimchee, pickled carrots and cucumber, over a bed of rice with a fried egg on top. Delicious!

    Wow, I don't think I could even get a quarter of that in my freezer, but it all looks great. I am sure you will do some amazing things with all of that pork.

    That looks so good. I love pickled veggies. Great presentation as well. Perfect looking fried egg.

    I concur.  It sounds as delicious as it looks.

    tonight is homemade lasagna with garlic bread and an Eagle Rare bourbon starter.

    Lasagna looks delicious. And so does the eagle rare. Well done.

    ^ That pig was packaged to perfection! No meat visits to the store for you anytime soon. Enjoy.

    $460 The price went up $0.50/lb between ordering and processing, so that was a bummer.
    I weighed it out at around 100lbs, and have the weights broken down by cut.  When I pick up the last of the meat this Friday I am going to finish weighing it out, and then compare the cost to the same weights of cuts at the grocery store I buy meat from to get an idea of whether I saved money or not.  I'm guessing I saved a little bit, but not too much.  Cost savings isn't everything, of course, this is fresh pastured pig from my own county.  Contrasting that with feedlot pork from Iowa, I'm glad I pulled the trigger even if it comes out a little more expensive.  Even at $4/lb average, I think I'm saving money...sausage is cheap, but center cut boneless chops and baby back ribs are pricey most of the time.

    Even if it works out more, it's such a better way to buy produce for numerous reasons.
