That all looks great! I did Tilapia on the grill in the cast iron in bacon fat... for fish tacos. Since I cook on the grill 7 days a week I think I am about to buy a Blackstone too.
When you say "pickerel", are you referring to what we call "northern pike" down here? I knew a lot of Ontario folks called pike a pickerel...just curiousWell, I busted my a$$ doing the wimin’s work today, and I’ve had enough nuclear burritos to last a lifetime, so I thawed out the pickerel fillets that the neighbors gave me, cooked up the fresh green beans they gave me from their garden (God bless those people), and cooked up some jasmine rice. Figured I’d eat healthy for a change.

PikeDidn't want too sound dumb but don't know what a pickerel fish is.
Thank you.Pike
When I lived in Alberta, we fished a lake just off the Canadian base at Cold Lake. Primrose Lake was full of pickerel. Pickerel is generally smaller than northern pike. Pike has a narrow nose, they’re quite bony and they are a more slim lined fish. Canadians call pike “jackfish”, and refer to pickerel as, well, pickerel.When you say "pickerel", are you referring to what we call "northern pike" down here?

You’re not dumb. I’m still educating my husband on the difference. Different area refer to things differently.Didn't want too sound dumb but don't know what a pickerel fish is.
I don’t thin so but you can call it whatever you like. Pike is a P. I. T. A. To fillet because it’s bony as he77. Pickerel is not, much like trout.Pike
I have never heard of chain pickerel before, and a few of those look like the jackfish we used to catch up north. I never knew there were so many types of pickerel around. All of these look different that the ones we used to fish.

Family feeding frenzy, I am familiar with those (husband's fam). Happy birthday to your daughter!My youngest daughter's birthday yesterday. I grilled 8 steaks and 8 Conecah sausages for the celebrants. They fell upon it like wolves, there was no time to get a photograph.
Keep fingers and hands out of the way!Family feeding frenzy, I am familiar with those (husband's fam). Happy birthday to your daughter!
'I've been nursing along a batch of pasta sauce that seems to be perpetual, and it has only gotten better.'I myself am an incorrigible dabbler in kitchen and grill magic.......
The stove top, the oven, charcoal, gas, you name it, I'm game.
Steak, pork, chicken, shrimp, burgers, soup...........
I've been nursing along a batch of pasta sauce that seems to be perpetual, and it has only gotten better.
Tonight it's over Angel hair pasta.
The short list of ingredients is: ground beef browned w/peppers, onion, garlic powder, season salt. Simmered with petite diced tomatoes and garlic & oregano sauce, then a few other brand and no name pasta sauces added, along with two or three bay leaves, and oregano. Then cooked on low/medium heat until its bubbling. Then you uncover the pot and let it steep until its nice and thick.
As it's eaten, you add more browned ground beef and your selection of sauce, and other meats, chicken, and pork add texture and flavor as they meld with the sauce.
One day when my metabolism finally calls it quits, I'm gonna weigh 600 pounds.......
my wife used to make her own sauce, especially with my garden fresh tomatoes each summer..but that is tiring and takes too much time, when you include gathering, prepping, cooking, then clean up.'I've been nursing along a batch of pasta sauce that seems to be perpetual, and it has only gotten better.'
When I cook spaghetti sauce it is a two hour event. It is killer. I started making this sauce with the recipe that was in the Chicago Tribune newspaper when Joe Valachi was in the news and in while prison for ratting out the mafia Dons. Over the years it evolved into my own concoction. One of my sons is a chef and I taught him how to make it, contains family secret ingredients. He made a small batch at a restaurant he was the chef at and it sold out before the night was over. The owner wanted the recipe and my son told him no, it is a family secret even after the owner offered him a lot of money for the recipe. Good boy.
