Boneless leg of lamb, marinated in yogurt, garlic and rosemary. Corn, avocado and basil salad Stuffed tenderloin pork chops from Heritage Meats Polenta with gorgonzola and sage butter 2-3 different home made breads Some home made cookies and other sweets Leftover venison that was braised with leeks, prunes and nectarines And I think I will counter all of this with a few hours of exercise.

Looks great. I did a dinner for 15 or so this past weekend. I was assuming it would be cool weather so there was some deep fried apps and some oven based stuff. Then the weather got HOT very quickly. Bat Turn! Menu changed the day before to something much like yours so the guests didn't have to up with a hot house. The high point of the night was when one guy was taking the cucumber gazpacho cups and tossing them back like shots. Then someone explained to him that you're supposed to eat the whole thing. |

HA! One of my coworkers tells this story: He went to a seafood buffet where he was given a bucket in which he was supposed to put the discarded shells from the seafood he ate. Misunderstanding what the bucket was for, he started to walk up to the buffet with bucket in hand. One of the wait staff stopped him and asked, "Say, Mister, are you going to milk a cow?" Bob |

They're Korean short ribs. http://www.grouprecipes.com/97234/ka...rean-ribs.html is a fairly typical recipe for cooking them. But it's important to get the correct cut of short ribs, because the two cuts have different cooking characteristics. For this recipe, you want the "flanken" cut, which looks like this: http://www.recipetips.com/images/glo...bs_flanken.jpg You *don't* want the "English" cut, which looks like this: http://aggiemeat.tamu.edu/judging/20...ort%20Ribs.jpg If you have the English cut short ribs, then you might consider barbecuing them: Low heat with high humidity (you could put a pan of water in with them) and plenty of smoke. Around here, red oak is the beef-barbecue wood smoke of choice. Bob |

Last weekend i made chicken and its way really yummy! Here is the Recipe:
Organic Chicken Under a Brick: Serves 3-4 Ingredients: 1 organic chicken 1/3 cup of olive oil 16 garlic cloves smashed with the back of a knife, skins removed 2 branches of thyme grey sea salt with Herbs de Provence fresh cracked pepper 3 lemons halved Method: Rinse chicken underneath cool water and pat dry with paper towel. Using kitchen shears, cut out the backbone of the bird by cutting along one side of the backbone and then along the other side (do not confuse with the breast bone which is between the chicken breasts). Save and freeze backbone to make chicken stock. Heat olive oil in a sauce pan over medium low heat, add the thyme branches. Slowly bring oil to a simmer and stew for about 20 - 25 minutes until the garlic is soft. Using a slotted spoon remove the garlic cloves from the oil and let cool. Set oil aside. Bring a grill or cast-iron grill pan to medium high heat. Wrap two bricks in aluminum foil. Once garlic has cooled, loosen the skin around the chicken breasts, legs and wings with your fingers or a small pairing knife. You will have to cut small slits in the thighs and the wings to loosen the skin. Place stewed garlic underneath the skin of the breast, legs, and wings. Brush chicken with garlic and herbed olive oil, and salt and pepper bird to taste, using the grey sea salt. Once grill is ready brush with any remaining herbed olive oil. Transfer whole chicken to grill, skin side down and place bricks on top of the chickens. Grill chicken about 10-15 minutes per side until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear when pierced with a small knife. About half way to three-quarters through the cooking time brush the lemon halves with garlic and herbed olive oil and place on grill flesh side down. Grill about 5 minutes until there are nice grill marks on the lemons. Once chick is done, serve with grilled lemons. |

I know someone who did cut out the breastbone, thinking she was butterflying the chicken. I do like making chicken under a brick, and it's particularly nice that you can make it even in a bare-bones kitchen setup (like an extended stay hotel with a kitchenette). Bob |

Pork Steaks are the St. Louis thing. Around here, we take a whole pork but and slice it into bone-in steaks. Most St. Louisans simply grill, then simmer in BBQ sauce to finish. But I grew up on KC style BBQ, so I use their cooking technique on the cheaper cut of meat. jt |

Yes, generally speaking, but wouldn't it still be butterflying/spatchcocking? And, if one just splits the keel bone (as I have done often), the breast meat would be untouched. When I first started cooking chicken tapaka (basically the same dish) many years ago, I always just split the keel bone because it appeared (and actually was) the easiest thing to do for someone totally inexperienced. It actually makes just as much sense even to someone with some experience. Cutting out the spine makes a bit more sense still just because one gets it out of the way from the get-go. Besides, if one is aiming for the proper pollastrino all mattone or chicken tapaka, no part of the little poussin (*not* of a fully-grown chicken) would have much of a chance to dry out in the 8-10 minutes needed for its cooking, no matter how it is spatchcocked.
