What's Cooking?

So, my wife came back from the store yesterday and told me that she picked up a Tri-tip to BBQ for dinner tonight. I just went to pull it from the fridge to get it to room temperature before tossing it on the grill and it’s a brisket. Gonna have to plan B dinner tonight since I don’t have 5-6 hours to cook a brisket………

This is exactly why I do the grocey shopping. My wife gets to have input on the list, but that's it.

Nick's not here, wifey is photo shy and I'll shoot Rusty if he touches it but I must say it turned out pretty frikk'n good. Could use a little more dry rub next time. Smoke at 225 degrees till 165 internal temp then wrap tightly in foil with 2 small dollops of butter and toss back on till 205 IT. It took about 4-1/2 hours or so(or roughly 3/4 gallons of Pacifico)...

I just drooled a lot.

Want something different? Sounds nuts but try adding a dollop of Gulden's Spicy Brown mustard when you wrap it in foil....

Take my word for it. :cool:

Nice bark!
 
Nothing yummy to show for now but I wanted to remind everyone to learn your favorite dishes from your parents while they are around and can still remember how to cook. Once they are gone or their mind is gone, you'll never that that exact way they made that dish. Write it down, make a video of them cooking. It will make a nice memory. Many people just cook and don't measure and add a bit of this or a bunch of that. That's why you need to watch them cook and make notes or a video.

When parents get older, some don't remember how to cook, let alone your childhood favorite meals. They may forget their own favorites and eventually not know how to eat or know what hunger is.

Make a family favorite cookbook PDF so you can share with family cooks. Add photos and notes. It doesn't need to be fancy. A Word document with photos works. Just make a record of your family history in the kitchen.

Now back to food....

Really good advice. I've been living in fear of never having my mom's Mole or homemade enchiladas, I should really just ask her to teach me.

Well.. my mom was a horrible cook / chef, but she had to feed nine of us, so she gets a pass. She has moved on to the next life, and there were no recipes worth handing down, other than her mother's sugar cookies. Got that.

Dad was great at preparing prime rib and home-made chocolate sauce (not served together). Got the chocolate sauce recipe before he passed on. I go out for prime rib.

That's about it for my parents, but your advice is solid for those with good family recipes.

There's been quite a bit of Mahi Mahi prepared here in the Foothills at multiple locations this past week. :whistling:

I'm having Mahi Mahi tacos for dinner. Costco has really good frozen filets....yum! But still not as good as those I had on Maui, location may have something to do with it.
