Last night's traditional German Sunday dinner. Roast pork loin (Schweinebraten) with dunkelweizen/ mushroom gravy, kloesse (potato balls) and asparagus.

Uhh, what's an ABT? Whatever it is, it looks good.

I would post some pics but the "auto-resize" feature still isn't working...

Atomic Buffalo Turd

Many variations to these in the BBQ world however they're generally a jalapeno shell stuffed with a mixture of cheeses, little smokie, wrapped in bacon and dusted with your favorite pig rub. That was a pre cook picture, they didn't last long after I pulled them off :D

Fresh cod, lemon, capers, red pepper, butter.

Very nice Shaun and Ian.....almost got some Cod today but picked up Salmon instead....pics to follow later tonight...maybe. :)

Love the attention to detail Ian, as always, looks great. and the wine! :)

Baz, I hope for your sake we don't get to see the salmon. :D

i am getting this slow cook thing down pat..

that looks fantastic!!!

for years -- decades even -- I have been waiting for a rousing discussion in OT on the distinctions between polenta and grits

Since you ate them both, you get to go first!

Improvised dinner tonight. Cubed tilapia, marinated in olive oil, lime juice and salt, then sauteed briefly (not a necessary step). Served on wilted spinach and snow peas, with minced red onion, garlic, and cilantro slightly cooked in white wine and lime juice, raw tomatoes, lime zest, salt, pepper, paprika. Yeah, it looks a little like throw-up, needed more bright green color. Tasted sort of zingy and fresh, next time I'll spike it with tequila.

I thought that polenta was corn meal and grits are hominy. Different, right?

with the paprika, looks like chunks of lobster.

white corn versus yellow corn?

dunno..alton brown says they are the same..they taste exactly alike.

they are actually just slightly different - and def'ns might vary by region or country

or you can say that polenta is high-priced grits that yuppies will eat...

grits can be either white or yellow -- in old New Orleans people almost always ate white grits

rural areas are more likely to have yellow grits

today, you can buy either and get them from heritage plants a guy found growing along a RR track and then cultivated them on his farm...

this was last night. apple wood smoked chicken. now i have leftovers to sprinkle over my green salad tonight...

chicken came out ok..i didnt brine it. i salted it and let it sit..i needed more time.
