What's for dinner?

I have survived pretty well on beer and potato chips for supper for a long time.

But I know I could eat someones boot if it was wrapped with bacon and cooked. I love bacon!
 
I've made sumac lemonade from staghorn sumac ( red berries ) some years ago. It tasted like lemonade to me. I strained the hot juice thru some cheese cloth, cooled it and added some sugar. Pretty good !! I think it has some good amount of vitamin C.

All I did was soak some berry heads in cold water for 10 minutes. Then I crushed them with my hands and let them soak for another 10 minutes. Strained the liquid through cloth and squeezed out the juice. I liked it as is but the wife didn't so I added a couple spoon fulls of sugar. Later tonight I think I'll have a glass of it with some vodka thrown in. :D

Good looking food in this thread. My contribution isn't fancy, but since it's the season where tomatoes come in faster than can be eaten, I cooked up a batch of salsa last night.

Looks great. How do make it. I have about 20 tomatoes a day to deal with.
 
Went down to the local grocery store and found some packets of this. Just follow the directions, but I added garden peppers and onions too. The cooked batches I think taste better when you want to have some thawed out later in the year. I fill little butter tubs or lunch meat containers to freeze in.

None of us are trying to impress with our cooking skills ... it's all about learning about everyone's good comfort food ... rock on!

Looks great, show us the result ...

I hope you guys don't get sick of me posting here, but I am loving this swing away grill. Cheese burgers on toasted buns(dried onions under the cheese) and R-line hotdogs over a maple fire while sipping on a high octane beverage

I for one won't get sick of it. Keep them coming, I haven't had time lately to cook much.

Chummer, when are you making Cornell chicken again?

You might want to add some hamburger to that cheese ... ;)

Yesterday! It was as good as ever. My wife made chicken salad with the left overs today. Forgot to take a pic but this was from a previous Cornell day. So simple; apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, egg, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Marinade for a couple days. Wood fire is the key.

I've tried it a couple times on the propane grill but I can't seem to get that golden brown crisp to it. But I'm not giving up yet!

You probably can't get it hot enough. That fire gets so hot I have to wear gloves and use very long tongs. I am constantly moving them from one side to another so they don't burn. I try to keep one side around 600 and one around 300. The grate is high enough the flames don't reach the chicken. It is a process but well worth it.
 
Don't stop with the pix, guys ............. real wood fires ............... I'm almost there .............. salsa-burgers-hot dogs-venison steaks-onions-chicken-Cornell chicken - Cornell chicken .............

Now I have to go cook something. I love / hate this thread !!!!!!!! Even if I've eaten - I get hungry all over again.:)

Mayo (the real stuff), Sriracha, and sweetened condensed milk. About equal parts mayo and Sriracha, usually only a tablespoon or two of the sweetened condensed milk.

Quick and easy Venison Fajitas, no grilling required.

Trim fat and other junk from partially frozen venison steaks. Slice up the clean meat. Marinate in Claude's fajita sauce (recommended to me by another forum member).

Sauté some peppers and onions. Place venison under broiler for 5 minutes. Drain off excess liquid. Combine with peppers and onions. Sauté for a minute or two and serve.
