Watcha eating?

[toppop52]

Yes she is ! We have been together for 40 years now and we are just as happy now as we were back then when I was only 18. Only thing is I never did make it back out side to finish the wood chips.

I think that was the plan...
My wife does such things sometimes.

Here's what's on the menu tonight:

Golden bantam corn to eat and a big beef roast that's hard to beat, and biscuits brown and gravy too and milk and peach cobbler for the whole crew.

Just want to pass this on....My wife and I were shopping at Kroger and saw some " Flat Iron Steaks " on sale and bought them...they are made out of the eye of Chuck so said the label...Now Chuck is a tough cut...used for roast cooked slow for hours or ground for hamburger so we were leery....Yum....they were just as good as rib eyes...no joke...I was shocked...so we have not seen them for sale since...next time we will ask for them and see...

If you see flat iron steaks for sale....worth a try...unless ours were just a fluke.

Flat iron has become one of my favorite cuts. I raise beef, sell about 27,000 lbs of retail meat each year and I can eat any of the steaks. I really like the flat iron, cut from a shoulder clod. It is very tender but has a great beefy flavor. Ribeye is still at the top for me, with the outer loose grained portion (spinellus) being as good as it gets. That said, ill pick a flat iron over a filet any day because if flavor. My friend is a third generation butcher in Chicago, and standardized that cut using beef check-off dollars.

How do you do the onions on the grill? Just grill or something special? Sounds like my next project.

I do the onions two ways....Tonight I will just make thick slices , coat with olive oil, gran. garlic, pepper and salt then put them on the grill...but here is our favorite way....Take a whole Vidallia or other sweet onion for each person...core out the middle without cutting through the bottom and only about a 1/2 inch core wide...then stuff butter and some bullion paste or cube of your choice in ...beef , chicken bullion...wrap each onion in foil and put on the grill just off the heat as you are cooking your main item...you can pierce it once in awhile to see if it is soft and done...Wow ...is that ever good...You can also do the same in the microwave but cover them...enjoy,.

Looks delicious. Did you dig them yourself? We usually make stuffies or chowdah when we did a dozen or two.

Yes Ed I dig all summer and freeze a lot for the winter months. We live just around the corner from you in Fairhaven Ma. One of my customers has a place on the Westport River so I get a license for there.

We vacuum seal 70 little necks and the juice from cooking them for chowder in the winter months. I like to have 4-5 patches ready by the fall.

Never been to Prudence Island but had a friend use to invite me over every fall to bow hunt his land. Never did get the time back then.

Yes Ed I dig all summer and we have some on hand most of the summer. We live just around the corner from you in Fairhaven Ma. One of my customers has a place on the Westport River so I get a license to dig there.

I vacuum seal and freeze batches of 70 little necks and the juices from cooking them to use for chowder in the winter months.

Never been to Prudence Island but use to get invited every fall to bow hunt a friends land there but never had the time back then.

Do love the island life though as most of my summers as a child were spent on Nashawena Island off the coast and then on Cuttyhunk.

Sorry about the dbl post thought I cleared the first one to redo.

I've anchored overnight in Quicks Hole many times. Nashawena is lovely. Not many neighbors or nightlife though. Need to go to the big city in Cuttyhunk for that.

Before settling on Prudence Island, I sailed out of Woods Hole so know the Elizabeth Islands well.

I haven't tried freezing quahogs to use in the winter but that sounds like a great idea.

 

[GBOUTDOORS]

Ed they freeze up just fine after cooking them. A friend of mine freezes them in the juice but I like them separate . Ahh yes the night life on Nashawena was great for us kids back in the 50's and 60's. No electricity no running water and an out house. No other families or kids to play with had the whole island to our self. And if we got to go to Cuttyhunk we could talk to other kids all 5-6 of them. GOOD TIMES FOR SURE.

After working with the tractor and chipper this afternoon I got out the grill and we had venison burgers for dinner.
