What are you cooking for dinner this weekend?

Mg2ride - My gawd son.

Friends dropped of a mound of fresh picked strawberries today. It is strawberry pie season. To be specific, fresh strawberry pie season. These are the trashy pies you make with corn starch. Bake the shell and fill with the mixture than top with hand whipped creme. Nothing better. FWIIW four of us ate the entire pie.

Giddy up!

It was such a gorgeous evening out so when the call for pizza on the grille went out, there were no objections from me. After a few years of this, we are getting the technique down pretty well. The main ingredient at this point is the pizza stone....and the ice cold beer at the end.

Made a potato, collards, tomato 'hash' and steamed some cod fillets on top. Light comfort food that's perfect for the terrific rain storm happening outside...

As long as you drag me around some levees/canal paths to 'earn' the meals

Done, done and done. I'll even supply the carbonated beverages.

Don't mind if there's a carbon-ti shaped object under my shirt on the way out, its only your imagination...

Rice, poached eggs and some mole poblano.


Looks are deceiving.

Great way to wind down the weekend...charcoal grilled chops straight from the local butcher. Marinated for 45 minutes in a mix of blood orange juice, soy sauce and some other goodies. Mrs. RW then reduced the maridande for some awesome flavored sauce.

Bob, if you don't quit posting stuff like this, I'm going to pitch a tent in your backyard and eat all your food before you can take pics! I'm quite tired of wiping drool,off my iPad.

C'mon folks, let's get this weekend party started. Shrimp Diavolo in honor of my business trip this week to Baton Rouge and NOLA.

In my house we go shortcake over pie, but really the only way to go wrong with fresh strawberries is to make something too complicated with too many ingredients. Just say no to rhubarb/strawberry anything.

Local strawberries are in. My SO picked 7 quarts yesterday. I ate one (quart) of them today afterwork before I headed out to the gym. Who needs whipped cream or shortcake?

After the gym I put together a simple supper.
Smoked Brats on the grill.

Strawberries for desert (eaten first, life is short...)

Homemade beet-hummus-stuffed squash blossoms, roasted until tender served on spiralized summer-squash (from the same plant, in the background) flashed in a pan with hot olive oil and slivered garlic . Served alongside some simply roasted broccoli, tossed in garlic and balsamic vinegar. Doesn't get much fresher - long live the summer.

Octave, my tiny conventional hummus making head just exploded. Beet hummos. It is so on. Thanks.

Try this -

175 grams chickpeas (cooked/final weight - I like to do them from dried beans for more texture, not canned, but that's up to you)
15 grams (~1T) tahini
Juice of one fresh-squeezed lemon
2 cloves garlic (if I'm being honest I use way more than that but it might not be to your taste)
1/4t salt (I like black salt in hummus, for a hint of smoke/sulfur)
3 beets, roasted (roast with skins on, foil-wrapped until tender, ideally on a grill or in my case, just wrap them in foil and toss them into the embers of a good fire for a bit)
EVOO to taste

Whizz it all together in a blender/food-processor until smooth-ish then start adding olive oil 1T at a time (while blending) until it reaches your ideal consistency.
