Very nice entry grant! 
 
 
I dunno, JHP - that was a serious question. Does that mean no one should ever put umbrellas in their drinks again? No SoFlo silly bands, either? Meh to food snobs.

Raw sage is very strong, many places fry the wholes leaves. I am not a food snob for the most part and many times my plates of food look like dog chow but taste orgasmic. Was just passing along some knowledge but it is like cheese on seafood, to each their own.

This was his chance to cook outdoors!!! What happened man?

I took a mental holiday on this one. I did cook, but I didn't enter the TD.

Bout to throw a couple tri-tips in the Q. Shooting for a hour and a half slo n' lo with white oak. Then I'll throw the grate in the firebox and sear em off.
 
I'm with y'all in spirit. Just need to figure out my chill drink.

Tomorrow is Labor Day so I'm going to labor over the grill cooking these guys.

 

[geeme]

Thanks for the answer, JHP.
 
I realized I almost forgot the PoL for the second entry, so here's a few of the players.

 
Not the best pic and somehow the color is off - it's more red but looks orange on my monitor. That would be roasted/peeled aji cristal with deseeded white dragonfruit (much easier said than done!), a touch of lime juice, limoncello, tequila, and ginger syrup. 

 
The drink bases are in the freezer, getting ready for some slushy chillin' tomorrow. 

 

[Booma]

Thats is great grant

And it begins, simple, fresh and chilled
 

 

[grantmichaels]

Nice ... and warm, too! LOL ...

 

[hogleg]

Ok went to the sto got my drank. My third in the Hop Hunter series from Sierra Nevada This one is brewed with distilled hop oil and it is friggen amazing! They have really outdun themselves with this hop series stuff. My first tri-tips on the Okky Joe very well may have been the best I've ever done.
 
THX for the inspiration folks. You are all Rockstars as far as I am concerned.

RUM MADE MY LOBSTER STRIP
 
This may have been the quickest TD i have done, kept the ingredients fresh, simple, tasty
 
Ingredients:
 
Lobster Tail
Australian Wagyu New York Strip
 
Parsley, Coriander, Basil all from the garden
1 white salad onion
3 cloves of garlic
Salt and Pepper to season
Sour Cream
EVOO
 
Poblanos
Cayenne
Green Chili
 
Okay so first thing to do was to grill the peppers over some lumpwood
 

 
These were then cleaned up and placed in a blender with the fresh herbs, salt, pepper and a good drench of EVOO, plus a little sour cream, pulsed to a nice consistency
 
Steak was coated in EVOO, then quickly seared over the charcoal, then placed indirect until it hit a nice Medium/Rare internal temp
 

 
Lobster was coated in butter and EVOO, then quickly grilled also.
 
Thats all.
 
Drink is spiced rum, mint and lemon lime and bitters
