A weekend of grilling with meat and not-meat

I, Slash, grilled not-meat stuff....

Monster garden Zucchini planks

with a nice not-meat rub

Corn on the Cob

grilled with our garden fresh parsley butter



And I also grilled/BBQ's real food, too....

Beer Can Chicken

with fresh Rosemary from our garden

JD's Pork Loin

Seven pounds consumed 

(we had company over!)

Top Sirloins with Roasted Garlic Butter

on bone, of course.

Who knew that the not-meat stuff would be really, really good. Yeah, I was surprised, too. For full disclosure though, in my opinion, the meat was still better.

JD's O.M.G! Pork Loin

2-1/2 lbs Pork Loin.
Jack Daniels.
Pork Rub.
Brown Sugar (how come you taste so good).
Dijon Mustard.

And Bacon.

Hickory smoke at 375° indirect heat until temp = 155°
Sweet glaze added during grilling.


This was absolutely killer good. The whole family loved it. I can't wait for the next sale on Pork Loin.


Recipe idea from the TV Show, Barbecue University with Steven Raichlen.

Marinated London Broil with Smashed Red Potato 'Tater Skins

Fred Flintstone Style

balsamic & fresh rosemary marinade

rosemary harvested from our garden

medium rare, of course!

Mmmmmmm, Bacon!

And in the evening, I'm making Waffles!

My family-wide famous Vanilla Waffles aren't just for breakfast.

We're having them for dinner tonight. I mix in chocolate chips in the kids ones.

Wife's way to eat them.

Bacon Jam

Bacon Jam on Mushroom Burgers

The burgers are half-pounders of ground beef, combined with Mushrooms, Onion and Garlic sauteed in the bacon pan, with fresh out of our garden parsley. The Bacon Jam is pretty spicy-hot and complements the burgers quite well.

Bacon Jam made yesterday (link).

Trying something with Bacon for a change

Need one pound of Bacon.

Need some Coffee.

Need some Chipotles.

Need some Garlic.

Need some Spices.

Need some patience as it simmers for 2 to 2-1/2 hours.

Any guesses? 

It's Bacon Jam, in use in this post (link).
