Fiddy's Father's Day Fun!!!
I have 2 beautiful children. My dad lives half a mile a way. My father in law lives 4 miles away. Mother's day around here sucks.
Father's day is much more relaxed...but we go ahead and celebrate it in my home the day before, otherwise it gets too busy. Today was great!!!
To honor myself, I decided to drink a bunch of beer and go crazy on the grill. I deserve it.
My kids got me a thing to make poppers on the grill. Kind of a novelty thing, not the way I'm used to making poppers, but I wanted to give it a try.
So instead of bacon wrapped penos, I stuffed them with lil smokeys and cream cheese, and hot smoked the peppers on the grill.
This was a great twist on the popper as I know it!!!
Why stop there?
I smoked some fresh mahi mahi. I always cut the blood-line out, so I end up with strips of fish...and they take to smoke well.
Brined in salt and brown sugar solution before hitting the smoker.
Made it into my favorite fish dip recipe, using diced fresh peno, grated onion, cream cheese and milk (no mayonnaise).
We serve our fish dip down here with saltines and pickled peno slices (and capers), sippin on a light beer.
Sat by the pool with jammin' tunes on, kids splashin' around, mommy and I catchin a little buzz....Father's day is great!
