You'll have to excuse this entry. Time is a precious commodity lately and I have to squeeze these throwdowns in when I can. This is a really tough one. As it so happens, our daughter had a friend over last Friday and the weather turned warm(ish) for about a day. We thought we'd squeeze in a fire in the firepit. Now, it was quite dark outside and this is with the flash, but you get the idea.
Now, these were not Brethren dogs (as you might be supposing), but it just so happens, that I had some sweet pepper relish made by one of our Sistren.
The stuff is absolutely awesome. Well, I doused my dog with relish and ketchup and snapped a pic:
Please excuse the sloppiness. It was overcast and everything was done in the dark. You can see, I almost missed completely with the ketchup, but ... Oh, yum! Well, someone told me that even though she is a member of this forum, it really is not in the spirit of the throwdown to be using a product made by your spouse, so I had to try something else. I'm traveling this week, so time was running out. As luck would have it,
we had an emergency dental appointment on Monday. The dentist happens to be located right next to the gourmet grocery store Bartucci's and I am very thankful this is nowhere near where we live, or I'd need a third job or fourth job. While there, I had my arm pleasantly twisted into getting a strip steak. I realized that I could actually turn this into an entry. Now I have two wonderful go-to rubs: Moose #2, which is wonderful on chicken, and Foil Hat Rub, which is my standby. Both of these are made by Brethren in high esteem! I treated this lovely little steak to the latter, along with a bit of parsley, some EVOO and ground pepper.
I then grilled it hot and fast on the Oval, with a bit of cherry. After letting it set, I dug in...
With a bit of luck, I can get the endorsement of the owners of the fine company that produce this product.
