Oversized homemade biscuits

and 48 Hour Brisket with homemade BBQ sauce

Were the biscuits also made in the Sous Vide?

Tonight was our "Sunday dinner:" Ribeye, baked potato, salad.

I decided to cook the steak indoors instead of on the BBQ given the number of fires already started in Texas. Used the Alton Brown method (sear in preheated cast iron pan on stove for 30 sec/side and then stick in the 500F degree oven for 2 minutes per side). It was great but I still like the BBQ better (gotta love the flare ups).

We had a hankering for soup tonight, so we winged it with what we had in the house. Made a chicken-chorizo-cabbage soup that turned out very flipping good. Very hearty with small shell pasta and lots of onion, celery and carrot. Good flavor from the chorizo but not really spicy. Just damned good.

12 Hour Pork Loin, fresh beans and sun dried tomato and mozzarella crostini.

Looks excellent Jeff.

Looks good Jeff.

Mike: I cannot imagine having soup - it was 98 degrees today.

Just had an avocado stuffed with cheese and fajita steak, battered and fried, and topped with ranchero sauce. It was delicious.

In the low 70's here. Initially quite damp and foggy. Sorry Shelly, I'm honestly trying to herd some of this cool air and moisture down to you.

I know you are trying. Texas is quite stubborn it seems.

Yeah, I would love to send some moisture down that way. I am sick of the rain. I had a soup for lunch today as well but we have not been near 90 in weeks.

Have you given up on rain dancing?

Roast chicken provencal. With risotto of tomatoes, marrows, olives and asparagus and a chicken/thyme jus.

Ratatouille and homemade bread. I am feeling healthy tonight.

Somebody's been busy.

Damn, after looking at all of those yummy beautiful dishes I feel like trailer trash.

Swordfish and green beans.

and a fresh from the oven apple spice cake with homemade whipped cream and strawberries.

Mmmm ... Swordfish FTW!

Homemade chips and guacamole for some football watching.

That looks good except that it looks like it is made with flour tortillas instead of white corn tortillas.

Yeah, all I had after I made the Guacamole and figured out I had no chips. Not bad.

Copying Jeff (except I made my chips from corn tortillas). Yum!

Since we have had a couple of damp days, I felt it was safe to break out the BBQ and grill a ribeye steak... so good... and the backyard is not on fire either.

^^^ That looks real good!

Shelly and Mikey have some nice looking snacks going on!

I smoked some halibut and salmon tonight. The halibut had a sneaky hot rub and the salmon had a sweet/hot Cayman-style rub! Did you hear that Wayne? Both were very tasty along with some grilled veggies and sourdough bread, heated on the grill.
