I'll start it with some goodides I got from New Orleans yesterday! The mustard actually brings it on topic because it is STJ Spice Champagne garlic mustard. YUM!



Chickory coffee

I LOVE that garlic champagne mustard! Getting ready to order more!

That coffee looks perfect...like mud! How did it taste? I hope you added milk...you know cafe au lait.

I warmed up my half and half and it was delish. yum. we made 2 pots this morning

OK... time to break in a new thread

I bought a couple of 14-day aged Angus strips for tonight's dinner. I used some garlic-infused EVOO (crushed garlic in EVOO for an hour or so) and brushed the steaks with it and then seasoned them with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. They were grilled to rare for me and medium rare for Amy. I also halved a couple of sweet taters and brushed them with the garlic EVOO and some Lawry's seasoned salt and cinnamon sugar and cooked them on the grill. Sauteed shrooms with Cruz Bay Grill Rub topped off the plate.



Oh yeah... can't forget the Mount Gay and Diet Coke!

Looks great Ron!!!

While steaks are being mentioned, they are GREAT on the grill with the British Virgin Islands Caribbean Seasoning that I got at St. John Spice, nothing else, just sprinkle it on them before you put them on the grill.

For my dinner, we had fresh redfish with Cruz Bay Grill Rub on top grilled on the pit and Liamsaunt's devilled shallot butter with a little less of the spices because redfish is so mild. Forgot to take pics, but I already posted one before of the same dish.

What would I do without all of this food porn to inspire me??? Thanks again everyone for motivating me.

p.s. too tired to do vegetables and had leftover some kind of rice I made but couldn't even remember what it was.

yum, Ron! And I love your glass

Last night we had friends over and I made bbq shrimp (actually done in the oven) with some seasoning that nothintolose sent me, tri-tips marinated in CBGR and done on the grill, parsley new potatoes, green salad and french bread. I didn't take any pictures, but everything turned out completely awesome. Oh yeah, and we had Painkillers made with one shot of Cruzan Mango and one shot of Cruzan Coconut - YUM!. A good time was had by all

I'm SURE my invitation was lost in the mail

That damn postal service! Humph!

I'm almost out of CBGR so when I reorder I'll add on some of the BVI seasonings. Thanks for the tip!

No problem Ron...actually CaliforniaGirl is the one that told me about it, and I LOVE it - even use it in place of Tony's on alot of things.

hmm...this thread could be dangerous...I take a picture of my dinner every night!

I have the day off today so tonight I am making John a pork roast--it's brining right now in some red pepper flakes, sugar, salt, juniper berries. Later I am going to slather it with mustard and make a green peppercorn sauce to go with. I'm also making roasted shallots, a celeriac gratin, and some spinach. I don't eat pork so I am making myself some roasted garlic chicken sausage with an apple-onion compote. I'll post a picture later.

Here's a recent chicken I made thanks to a package from Elizabeth (nothintolose)--it's injected with creole garlic butter sauce and covered in creole seasoning. It was good!

And another Elizabeth-inspired dish I made a couple of weeks ago...shrimp and grits:

Oh my, liamsaunt! Hope hubby doesn't see this post. If he does, he'll for sure realize how inadequate I am in the kitchen. Looks delicious.

yum. that all looks good but i'm digging that shrimp and grits right now!
