Glutton for traffic punishment.

Meanwhile, last night's dinner was leftover oregano/thyme manaesh with a shmear of cream cheese, the homemade gravlax and some cilantro y avocado, followed by Trader Joe's frozen pizza and a bag of salad mix. Easy.

Tonight, grilled cedar plank wild king salmon. Wild rice, and a to be determined veggie from a local farm stand.

My dilemma, do I add a honey bourbon glaze or not? Generally, I don’t like to add much to fish. It tends to mask the flavor. Especially on this exquisite cut. However, part of me craves the honey bourbon! Decisions, decisions…

No dilemma. Use a maple plank, and add a bit of maple and dijon glaze, which complements said fish perfectly.

I think it complements the flavor, rather than masking it. Make mine with honey Bourbon, please. What else do you mix in with the honey & Bourbon ?

Turn the honey bourbon into a drizzle or dip... Or break up the fish into two pieces and glaze just one piece and leave the other plain (just have to make sure you do something so it doesn't dry out completely)...

Honey, bourbon, Dijon mustard , brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, and on the fish, salt, pepper, garlic and….cinnamon.

Great idea. No shot of it drying out. It’s very lightly grilled, barely beyond sashimi state!

Uh---make mine sans cinnamon please. :eek:

I love cinnamon but have trouble with it on savory dishes. My first experience was at a Lebanese restaurant - on chicken. Maybe because it was so bad, I've never been able to get over it, and am permanently biased. Anything sweet with cinnamon and I'm all there.

Luckily, I was able to get the beef ribs on and off the barrel before the rains came this afternoon.

Charcoal grilled pork chops (marinated in soy sauce and garlic), fresh cherries, homemade focaccia, grilled asparagus, homemade ice cream

Not a fan of Cincinnati style chili?

Dinner tonight: spaghetti squash with sun dried tomato pesto. Covered with sliced sweet Italian sausage and sautéed peppers and onions (from the garden via the freezer).

Chap chae with some veggies mixed in and freshly harvested raspberries from the garden.

I understand your hesitation. At first, I thought it was crazy. Then I gave it a shot…with a very light dusting. Surprisingly good! Give it a shot one day on a cheaper cut of salmon.
BTW, another surprising spot for cinnamon? Lasagna. Very good enhancement IMHO.

Them's pretty.
I saw tons of beef ribs at Costco last week and I don't remember ever seeing them before....certainly not in rack form.

Yeah, these were rack ribs, so the prime rib was cut from them. There were like five other racks I saw when I bought these. The "dinosaur bones" we all see are beef loin ribs.

They were on my pit barrel for 3 hours and that smoke ring wasn't good enough for my Mom, who thought it was too tough. I don't think she likes smoked beef.

If one is not from Cincinnati, is there any fan of it? Skyline Chili and IMO's pizza are two unlikable items from Cincinnati and STL
