    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    I was pretty happy with it. I was too lazy to make chimichurri, though.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    The griddle arrived today, and it's a success. I decided to try skirt steak without pounding it. I am used to pounding it to take the chew out of it, but it makes the steak so thin it's hard to cook, and it's also less juicy. I checked the web, and I read that Argentinians don't pound their...

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    I don't think those are for me. I like meat browned all over, not just in grill marks.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    Keep in mind, I'm talking about skirt steak, which is very thin. I have no problem with real steaks.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    Be careful what you wish for. My best steaks come from a turkey fryer base and a griddle or pan, so I can't argue.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    I beat the steak, salted it, and soaked it in soy sauce. Then I threw it on the burner. Then I gave it a few seconds in a pan of hot butter, because I had used it to cook a second steak that didn't fit on the burner. I don't know what I could have done wrong. The burner sure seemed hot. It was...

    Recommend Outdoor Propane Fryer?

    I think the frozen fries are good because they remind me of the frozen fries I had in restaurants so many time when I was young. You like what you're raised with.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    Two years ago, I splurged on a Napoleon Prestige 500 propane grill with a rotisserie and a side infrared grill. I thought I would be able to do burgers on it, and similar things. Hot dogs, sausages, and so on. I also thought it would be good for vegetables. After two years, the results are in...

    Recommend Outdoor Propane Fryer?

    As an update, I have learned that it's possible to love frozen fries. Ordinarily, I'm a fresh-potato guy, but I picked up some frozen Great Value crinkle-cut fries, and they were really good. They were good enough to make it not worth it to slice up potatoes and fry them twice in the future.

    Heavy Winter Ale - Christmas Party in a Glass

    To do that, I would have to be able to walk steadily.

    Winter in central Florida (picture heavy)

    I love it here. The people could not be better. And I can shoot high-powered rifles in my yard. Manatees have unbelievable gas. I think it's what keeps them afloat. And they love sucking on fresh water hoses.

    Heavy Winter Ale - Christmas Party in a Glass

    I made a second one. So far, I'm calling it Reindeer Liniment Christmas Ale. Only 10% ABV, estimated by Beersmith. I added aromatic malt to see if I could get a reddish color, and I used chocolate wheat to darken it. I dry-hopped with two ounces of Citra. I think it was Citra, anyway. Really...

    How Long can a Country Ham Age?

    So I started a great thread and then failed to cure a ham.

    Help me get some knives

    I made expensive mistakes. Nothing to be proud of.
