You know, I am supposed to be in Minneapolis next year about this time. You won't mind terribly if I show up at your door, hungry and demanding smoked ribs - right?  :D
 
You remember this? Checking in July 2, checking out July 7. If you're around don't be surprised if you hear your name being called from somewhere across the city. Well, "somewhere" would be U of MN campus, where I will be pretending like I can actually place in the Nat'l Sr. Olympic Games, in at least one event! 
I will be attempting to place, but THIS is GOLD!

Very cool G! I live pretty close to the U of M, and my wife works on campus. It would be cool to have you over for dinner, or at least meet for a drink or something.

This is one of my favorite meals ever.
 

 
 
 
 
 
     What a coincidence. That ^ is one of my favorite pictures ever. Great job - in the water and on shore!
 
 
 
 
edit: Damn I posted this ^ before I got to your pics of smoked trout. Now I don't know which I would rather have. 
 
DAMN YOU HYBRID!!!!  DAMN YOU!!!  I keep trying to get that out of my head and you bring it back.  One day, one day I am going to Musky's house and we are going fishing and cooking walleye.
 
WOW!
 
And I thought Jay made good fish n chips!!!!

I know. I'm a slacker, and haven't kept up with this thread.
 
It's been a busy summer, and I've been out of town quite a bit. I'm back now though, and I plan to post more food from here on out.
 
I just got back from fishing in Canada, so first up is a simple and delicious walleye shore lunch from last week.
 
 
Taters and onions...
 

 
These walleyes were swimming in Lake of the Woods about an hour before they hit the pan.
 

 

 
This is one of my favorite meals ever.
 

 
Mmmmmmmmmmm!
 

 
 
Next up will be some ribs. They're in the smoker right now so I'll post some pics later tonight.
 
:cheers:
 
Thanks y'all. There really is nothing better than a shore lunch. I was brought up in a fishing family and have been doing it for as long as I can remember. Catch your limit of fish in the morning, stop on an island and have shore lunch, a beer, a swim if it's hot, a nap if you're tired, then go back out and catch another limit before heading in. It's a great way to spend a day.


So anywho... I scored a 10 lb box of Manzanos and knew I had to make some kind of poppers with them.

The filling consisted of:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb chorizo
2 diced onions
1 shallot
2 packages Philly cream cheese
1 package crumbled bleu cheese
1 package shredded Mexican blend
Spices

Here they are ready for the oven...



And after 50 minutes @ 375...











Yum! And quite hot!
 
Stuffed manzanos are da bomb, and those look quite fantastic. We've got…. 5 months or so before fresh pubescen pods will be here. Oh, geesh, I just said it out loud. 5 months. Seems like forever. Guess those of us without 10 lb boxes will just have to live vicariously through your flog. What's next? :drool:
 
Not liking that ^, but thanks... I think... :rofl:



So I smoked a turkey breast for the first time in years today.

Here it is after a 14 hour brine in water, kosher salt, brown sugar, garlic, onion, smoked bhut powder, poultry seasoning, black pepper, maple syrup, a few juniper berries, a splash of cider vinegar, and... that might be it?



Patted dry and rubbed under, and on top of the skin with a mix of a couple different commercial rubs and Salsalady's jalapeño seasoned salt (that stuff is awesome).



I smoked it @ 225 with cherry until it reached 165, then rested it in foil for 20 minutes before slicing.



Here's the finished product. It turned out super moist.



A closer look just for the heck of it. The salad is the sweet kale salad kit from Costco (good shit).



I will definitely be making this more often from now on.

Thanks for stopping by!
