Thought I'd join in on this thread since the majority of my cooking is done under the influence.
Here's what I was drinking last night. About 4 of these Aldi brand Corona knock offs while cooking and 1 Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale to go with the meal:
Bamboo skewers were soaked in water for a couple hours prior to loading on the chicken. Keeps them from burning on the grill.
We used a few different kinds of sauces as the kiddies can't take the Crazy Uncle Jester's Select Reserve. The BBQ sauce is local stuff and it's pretty damn good, especially with some fresh orange habanero from the garden diced and stirred in.
Getting things ready. That's right, I'm a charcoal man. No gas here, except the stove ranges!
So I had this crazy idea of doing EVERYTHING on the grill. Even the potatoes. Boiling the 'taters. Then we coated them lightly with some vegetable oil and applied a little seasoning before finally throwing them on the grill for just a minute or two. First time we ever did potatoes this way and it sure as hell won't be the last.
Jenny's little one adding Paula Dean portions of butter on the corn:
And here's the money shot of my plate. Two BBQ skewers and one deadly C.U.J. Select Reserve skewer.
This was a great summer night dinner, if I do say so myself. We had a lovely evening (and one helluva buzz).

Here's my Thursday contribution to the DC machine....
BRUNCH!!
This was the first day I've had to myself since the kids went back to school, so I opted to have a late breakfast/lunch type thing.
Here's what I came up with:
Melting the butter with some of PF's fatalii powder....gettin' ready for the bearnaise mix and the milk...
Habs' been out of the garden about 30 minutes....
Two slices of smoked ham....cut in half...

Yeah....I love the yolks....especially when they're runny like in a fried egg. But, some people don't appreciate it like we do...so, if I'm going to post photos...I leave them out.
Yup....they only got 6 weeks off for "summer break". But, they also get extra time off for "fall break", christmas/new years, and then again for "spring break"
They call it a "modified" school schedule.

Very tasty looking.

I want some.

Thanks! We usually cook together. It's rare that only one of us cooks the entire meal. Sometimes we'll have a "signature" dish and we fly solo but we usually make a night of it. It's a cheap form of entertainment and we all get something out of it.
I'm not really a pork eater but that breakfast sandwich looks tasty as hell. Might have to try that with some prime rib or a turkey sausage patty. Keystone's a good choice for summer drinkin' on the cheap. Nice and light. Good "lawnmowin' beer"!
Thank you!
We use Jane's Krazy mixed-up salt and pepper in probably 1/2 - 2/3 of our meals. Why use regular old salt and pepper when you can use KRAZY salt and pepper?!?!Very tasty looking.
Thanks. Tasty indeed. That Crazy Uncle Jester skewer had me breathing flames! Haven't had a good burn like that for a while. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It has a great Caribbean Jerk flavor and LOADS of heat.
The Dr. Dan's BBQ sauce is good too, but not really a traditional BBQ sauce. It's got a lot of complex worldly flavors going on like ginger and tamarind. I can't seem to find much info online at all and it looks like Dr. Dan let his domain name lapse which isn't a good sign. We bought it on clearance at Lofino's grocery several months ago and were saving it for the summer. I'll have to see if they still carry it.
Just going with the fact that I have posted all of one things. Second being that my meal wasn't super hot at all, but it had peppers and the flavor all of the way of delicious and the peppers that I added.
So below features the pictures of my dinner tonight featuring Garlic Pepper Shrimp cream sauce...
Along with a little phalic bottled Tequila...
Then we have the sides of fresh garden squash and some rice, which I will only show the squash, onion, bacon, garlic mixture.
And the final product sans Tequila,
