Just what you've always wanted!

I'd like to try The Arnold.

I'd fuck Cumberbatch. Tits are kinda small.

Big Green Egg Grilled dry aged strip, grilled asparagus, rosemary roasted potatoes.

leftover cacio e pepe.  I always use enough pepper that I can feel it in my joints, a couple hours later (I always double up on my heartburn meds, so that I don't also feel it in my esophagus).

That does sound good! I had a bourbon ice cream recently that was outstanding.

Again? Next time you better fax some this way!

This time, my eyes were bigger than my stomach.

[EdipisReks1]

That's a great looking sear.

I got an induction burner.  Carbon steel flipped every 30 until the center measured 120.

So the guy next door has been on a major project. The previous owner has put in wooden decking and a fish pond, which I thought looked kind of nice. Current guy didn't like it, so he hired a company of knuckle draggers to take that out and put "something" in instead.

I need to take a photo of the edifice and post it. It is basically a built-in double barbecue. This is truly in the brutalist style - it is like an angular horseshoe that you can stand behind, but big enough that two or three can get behind there, and so seriously built could double as a nuclear shelter. One barbecue is I think gas powered (well, there was copper pipe going on at one point), and I think the other is charcoal. Where the decking was he has paved in off-white slabs, which are also on the top surface of the barbecue horseshoe.

The outfit he got to do all this started in October, and have just finished. I swear you could build a whole house in that time.

The problem is that this is in the UK - where it is cold and rainy more often than not. Last year we managed a total of three barbecues in our kettle because that was the only coincidence of (a) decent enough weather on the day (b) a weekend and (c) enough certainly of good weather to buy the meat. We planned to barbecue several more times, and ended up cooking inside on the hob.

So I have absolutely no idea why the guy has spent so much money on something that will hardly ever be used. I look forward to seeing it used in anger, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Hopstretch]

He's not a South African, by any chance?*

(*That would explain the two braais and the bodge job, though not the gas.)

[Craig Sawyers]

Nah - he totally British. Which makes the whole, clearly expensive, exercise so very, very strange.

It would have been kind of OK in a hot country - but in a country where you can get all four seasons in one day?

[swt61]

When you consider the expense and bad weather, there's only one line of thought that makes total sense.

It's a front. It's not that he loves to B-B-Q, it's that he's a serial killer and needs a way to discretely get rid of the bodies. Whatever you do, don't share any meals with him! And don't make him angry. You should be safe though, because if he's smart enough to build a Body-B-Quashed B-B-Q, he's smart enough not to kill someone he could be connected to. On the other hand...

[Torpedo]

I guess he was aware that the US and UK aren't going to fight the global warming anymore, so most likely weather will be BBQ friendly in the UK in no time.

[Dusty Chalk]

No, that's the problem, once global warming goes beyond a certain point, there is even more moisture in the air ==> clouds, rain, etc.

Perhaps he will just power through, and barbecue anyway, even in the rain, as is the British way.

[Hopstretch]

The canon says that hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. I find no mention of grilled meats other than that if you don't eat them, how can you have any pudding?

[EdipisReks1]

Wait a second; BBQing is weather dependent?  Back when I used to do such things, I once smoked a 10 pound Boston Butt when there was a foot of snow on the ground and it was below 0 (F, not C).  It made temperature regulation more difficult, especially when it started snowing again, but it was certainly doable, especially with a tarp strung up.  What happened to the stiff-upper-lip?

'nuff said.

[Hopstretch]

Well I still think the East Sussex "Burgundy" is going to be better than the Nizhny Novgorod.

 

 

[jvlgato]

Oysters, clams, conch cakes, crab/lobster bisque, sweet potato waffle fries

 

 

[EdipisReks1]

Those are the sweet potato fries I buy at Kroger, too.  Otherwise, looks tasty (those are tasty sweet potato fires, or I wouldn't get them)!
