Nice sear on those scallops!!!!! Next time use canola oil it has a higher smoke point than olive oil and is tasteless (neutral oil).

(I like doing scallops with a citrus beurre blanc......)

Brazilian Picanha!

Brazilian friends put me onto this. Picanha is the "rump cap" or "top sirloin cap"( North American butchers will cut it for you if you go early, make sure they don't trim away the fat)


Quote:
INGREDIENTS:
one entire piece of picanha
rock salt
garlic paste

PREPARE:

Cut the picanha into 2 inch-thick beefs
Leave the fat layer on it (just remove after grilling)
Rub the rock salt on the meat alone or with garlic paste
Arrange the meat in skewers or directly over the grill
Cook the meat to your preference.
In the Brazilian way, you can slice the outer layers and keep the rarer meat in the grill for more cooking.

Guy- If you have a Chinese market nearby, try to find some kungpao sauce for the scallops... Stir-fry them and serve with rice. You can add onion, water chestnuts, celery and carrots if you like...

Salmon down here in the lower 48

Unfortunately I am only familiar with the taste of Sockeye, it would be nice to get out on the Copper River someday. I did get a chance to go where Kings and Silvers come to our lower 48, beautiful country on the edge of the world it seems. A place where high tide cards are critical...the drift logs will kill you. You will find swamps on hills sides created by Roosevelt Elk, cougar warning signs and if you see the sun...your lucky. Bring your serious rain gear in the fall but what a place. Spent 2 weeks out that way in the fall for about 7 years and eventually caught a glimpse into the native fishing practices as the salmon return.

Here is some advice from an old German Mason that over the years built many of the smokers. He looked for 12-15lb males ( no row, and similar sizes ) for smoking, first use brine and of course alder wood smoke.

As for how I try to cook salmon if not raw, Salt, Pepper, maybe dill, some butter, and lemon.

Just by coincidence Cantrell's and Black Trumpets taste well with fire grilled ( bring your own dry wood) salmon.

One of the river sources looks like this:

I did a couple of racks of ribs in the smoker yesterday. I have always used red oak for smoke but lately I have been using pecan. I am very pleased with the results. Pecan gives off a deep, earthy, rich smoke, not as harsh as hickory and really gives the meat a nice flavor.

R&R Tonight

Speaking of Ribs, did some myself today used apple and cherry for the smoke these were pretty meaty 4.5 #s per rack, they had left a lot of the loin attached. I trimmed it off and smoked the pieces on the side.

Your artichoke plant is beautiful!

Have you ever stuffed and baked them?

No. I'm pretty much like Stymie when it comes to Artie chokers.

'No. I'm pretty much like Stymie when it comes to Artie chokers.' PSM

"It might have choked Artie but it ain't gonna choke Stymie!" Stymie

For you younger folks, PSM is referring to Stymie from the old "Our Gang" or "Little Rascals" films that we watched on Saturday mornings when we were kids. Stymie was a little black kid with a shaved head who wore a derby. His character probably wouldn't be tolerated today...
