Take it away, Bad Horse’s Filly…
I keep hoping for grilling weather, but it is not quite there yet for many of us. This menu you can grill, but broiling works just as well. It is a fairly quick meal to prep. One trick for marinades is to prepare them when you purchase your meats or poultry, add marinade and meat to bag and freeze. Then all you have to do is thaw them out and you’re ready to grill, broil or stir-fry. Otherwise, marinate overnight in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Most chefs recommend room temperature for meats before cooking. If you take it out while prepping the remainder of the meal, it should be room temp before cooking. For this menu, begin cooking the rice before prepping the remainder of the meal and it should be done by the time you finish the steak and beans.

P.S. from Anne Laurie: Now that our esteemed bloghost is a member of Homeowner Nation, I can’t wait to see what kind of shenanigans he can get up to with a bar-b-que grill…

Hope John reads this before he starts with the bar-b-que. Dude, a fire extinguisher is your friend. Learn how to use it. I really don’t want to see a post of you being air evac’d to the state burn unit. Also too, teach Tunch and Lily how to use the fire extinguisher or at least call 911.

@mai naem: It’s the only single use item Alton Brown recommends using in the kitchen ever. Oh and no point in training Tunch to dial 911. Lily would jump right up and do it, but Tunch would just give a disdainful look and go hunting for a new

Found another typo in one of the masthead subtitles. It says:
You spelled “fucking” wrong.

Damn, just finished watching Rachel interview Dan Stein, the head of FAIR.
Talk about butthurt….

Well, I for one, am grateful for the long thread on barbecue’ing on porches because we have just started grilling here and for some incredibly stupid reason we set the gas grill up under the porch. It sounds like that’s a bad idea and I’m going to move it before the next grilling event. Thanks to everyone who turned out to make fun of John, and obsessive homeowners, in the earlier thread.
Dinner tonight here was
sweet spiced indian rice with apricots
dal
fennel and cumin roasted potatoes and cauliflower (its like a quick, dry, version of an indian alu ghobi)
pork vindaloo
fresh mango/avocado salsa
sour hot fried okra
It goes against the grain but we’ll have it again tomorrow night. I think its because I lived with Brahmins in Nepal but I hate leftover food. I feel like every meal should be made from scratch, and eaten while its fresh.

This sounds great. I have company coming this weekend and this sounds like a perfect meal.

Soldiers in Afghanistan cover Lady Gaga’s Telephone. It starts off with two endearingly gawky guys, then most of the base shows up around 1:40.

@Comrade Mary:
Thank you SO MUCH for that link. I could not stop laughing. And I think I’m in love with Big Rob.
Yutsano
@KRK: Heh. And people wonder what I see in Dawgs.

@Comrade Mary:
That was hil-fuckin’-arious. It reminds me of the skits the sailors do in the hanger bay when they’re out to sea and bored out of their ever-lovin’ minds

@IndyLib: Oh yay I get to repost this gem again:

Could somebody explain to me what this “Bad Horse Filly” thing is? I’ve been lurking around for quite a while and still don’t know what the heck it is. I mean, I get that it’s a recipe, but . . .why?

@Yutsano:
Oh, FSM, thank you, that was cuter than hell. I can say from personal experience that at any official Navy function I have been at that includes a dance floor, the Cha-cha slide and electric slide are the most popular dances- everybody knows how to do them.
Yutsano
@IndyLib: Heh. I may have to tease Bnut again and see if he’s the man in the blue gloves getting his groove on there. And yeah you’re right, Navy men can dance. I was forced to go to many an officer function when my dad was still in (curse of being CotB) and they were all cutting rugs out there, including my parents.

“Hoping for grilling weather”?
Us hardy northeasterners grill in the winter.

Sorry, but only poseurs think there’s a such ting “grilling weather.”
In KC, it doesn’t matter if it’s raining, snowing, sleeting, a tornado—all weather is grilling weather.
Frickin’ amateurs …
