New Dish - Seafood Sausage

Last week I tried something new from Wegman's - seafood sausage. It's a blend of salmon, shrimp, and spices, stuffed in a pork casing. It grilled up great on my Fiesta gas grill & although it doesn't taste as good as regular sausage, I'm sure it's better nutritionally.

I didn't get any pictures of it since it really didn't look all that great! I think next time I'll use the charcoal grill & see if it goes any better.

GRILL IT!

Here's a new book I recently received as a gift.

Bobby Flay's GRILL IT! book.

I like the ! in the title. Makes it sound more intense.

It is quite an interesting book. He starts out by explaining basic ideas, like direct vs. indirect grilling - which is quite basic really, but so many people don't realize it.

Looks like it's not quite done yet there Bobby!

He also mentions basic gear to have, controlling heat, storing stuff so it's safe and fresh, and stuff like that. Then, tons of recipes. Then at the end, sources for getting food, spices, woods/charcoal and other supplies.

I'll have to decide what to cook first. Probably beef.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone again. I had a very good time visiting with family. I took a lot of pictures. Some of my family members were a little shy about having their pictures on my blog, so instead I'll post pictures of the delicious food we had.
