Your own Food Porn..

I'm just curious what everyone is cooking on the grill for this holiday. Any good recipes, or things that are good to try on the grill? I'd love to see some pics of food you're proud of too.

My favorite meals in the past month (or at least the ones that were good enough to photograph)..


Grass fed steak, fresh veggies and shrimp from the markets at Pike Place..


Homemade sushi.. (My roomate is a chef)

I'd love to see the food everyone is eating.

I love eating.

I don't even like sushi haha. I've fished my whole life so I've seen the type of worms and parasites that are in fish when you clean them.

I'm paranoid lol. Every one else loved it though. Still probably the most photogenic meal I've had. It just looks so good.

One of my favorite sides for a cookout is baby dutch potatoes upstate New York style with a twist.

Boil the potatoes in a large pot with a few or a lot of cloves garlic and a pound of salt ( doesn't make them to salty, just changes the texture on the inside). Cook until skin wrinkles slightly.

Drain, separate garlic, put back in pot with butter and fresh cracked black pepper. Saute briefly as the garlic is cooked. Add in potatoes and use your hands to rock the pot so the potatoes pulverize the garlic and distribute it.

Serve with a little of the butter and garlic for each serving.

Guaranteed to be the best potatoes you've ever had or I don't want to hear about it.

Right on that sounds good. I'll try that. Thanks for the recipe.

When I was making the baked potatoes for the grill today I took some aluminum foil, made it into a pouch, put some slices of butter, salt, garlic powder, amd Italian seasoning in it, then wrapped it around the potato and grilled it.

It's probably the best baked potato I've ever had. The outside is crispy and buttery... Oh my god lol

Heh, we have a local butcher shop here that was featured on Bizarre Foods for their charcuterie. We hit them up for their pre-made burger patties and house-made sausages. Son has a bacon burger (bacon is house made) and I have a lamb burger with locally sourced lamb. Husband and I each have a lamb curry sausage too.

We also picked up some lamb bacon to try and some smoked, brined beef heart.

So we'll have our burgers and sausages. I hit up the River Market for local peaches and big ol' heirloom tomato. I'm making a salted caramel peach crumble pie for dessert with those peaches ... the ones I just don't eat outright.

The tomato will go on our burgers/sausages.

We're making a cannellini bean salad with farmers' market zucchini and some fresh rosemary we grew on the deck.

And I got myself a big port cap to have grilled and basted with beef broth to go on my lamb burger. I also some chevre that I may put on the whole affair with a red onion ring or two ... and lettuce.

Right on, all that sounds amazing.

Having a local butcher is key. Being able to go to pikes place market up here and get fresh meat, seafood and vegetables makes all the difference in the world. Everything that you would normally make is ten times better.

I don't think I can go back to meat from Wal-Mart.

There are two local butchers that we use. The one we used this time is more boutique, and the other one supplies the competition BBQ scene, so it's where you go to get the huge cuts.

Your average Boston butt, for example, runs about 3lbs at the grocery store, but at this one, they have nothing under 7 in the case. They're always happy to cut it down for you, trim it, etc., but when we want enough meat to provide leftovers or feed the whole family that's the one we use.

The first course, grassfed steak with grilled shrimp and veggies looks great.

The second, sushi.......I hate the taste of seaweed. I don't like much about sushi. I would rather swallow a live smelt than to eat that crap. I'm lying, I won't swallow a live smelt ever again either.

I love fish, I can eat it every day, as long as it is cooked.

I'm the same way, raw fish just isn't appetizing ro me. I was gnawing on a cold T-Bone from the day before like a caveman while everyone was eating sushi.

I enjoyed the sake though.

I've liked sushi for a long, long time. It's about the only way I'll eat tuna.

I even burned one and I think it just made it better.

I can't do it. I could probably handle it if the pieces weren't so big, but it's gross when I have a mouthful trying to chew it.

Maybe if there was mini-sushi or something.

That sushi looks YUM!

I am going to grill watermelon with a touch of Karo syrup and sea salt...after my husband grills the steaks and a few pieces of bacon to crumble on the blue cheese salads.

For the actual 4th I am making red, white and blue salad - strawberries, blueberries and sliced bananas. Philly cream cheese with vanilla instant pudding and half and half dressing. Top with chopped pecans and crumbled graham crackers mixed with little brown sugar and a butter.

Happy Fourth everybody!
