Snowball.............

[1buckie]

Welp...........

I might not have cooked up anything this weekend, but the fates had other ideas............



  Did some giant zukes the other day.....first two from the garden....this ended up being the 2nd two.....plus...........

The wife's eldest son & our youngest grandson were coming to town to a gaming convention of some sort (1st time taking the youngster along, plus he really loves his Granma & loves to visit)........

They bring a tri-tip & asparagus........the wife decides to start adding stuff to her leftover beans, which then turned into some kind of chili concoction......

I needed to send over some food to a friend who was kind enough to slab up some wood for me on his portable sawmill, so I pulled out a mostly whole, cooked pork butt to thaw on cooker..........  (sent a batch of beans over the other day & he was starving after a very long day @ work cutting trees...really made his day!) so more will be better !!!!

Had some jalepenos, bacon, sausage laying around, so 'Turds happened too.....

what started out as maybe no cooking at all ended up using four kettles.............

Mixed pot of inexpensive rice....I love this stuff & it's like $1.25 / per.



Added in some of these.....



and these...........





at this point, it's a meal in it's self..............

But I've been doing up zucchini boats ever since 1992 when one got tucked back under the garden wall & I didn't see it 'till it was almost 2-1/2 feet long.....nowadays, I got the hang of growing them big on purpose............

Split, core out seeds, stab w/ fork all thru so the liqiuds will cook it a bit faster...........



Load the boats.....





Did half with shredded chicken breast.....next time I'll put that UNDER the rice....dried just a little being on top............



Viking Boats.....



Other stuff..........
Lemon tarragon bottled dressing w/ stoneground deli mustard......



Shot w/ Woosty & Bord-o-Lay  (the very best beef marinade I've ever found:  http://www.bordolay.com/pages/products.html ), Cowboy Coffee rub.........



Mild sausage, cr. cheese & a little McCormick's Belgian White Ale rub....



And......It's a Four Banger..........



Pork re-heat, with beans / chili under.....



stacked up Viking Boats..........



'Turds on an 18......





Chili stuff getting there...



Pork, juiced up w/ Mojo almost there....



Tip & 4th Boat............





Das Boat....a mere pup at 19" long.....



Plateful.......

A master-class improvisation buckie.  I can only imaging the feast if you actually planned to cook!

Inspiring....

It "Snowballed......"

Never really out of hand, but the speed of pre-production was ramped up quite a bit............

I've had a problem the last 4 or 5 cookups in that I get everything going & the 'Turds, I find, are still to be assembled..........sort of an afterthought, I guess.........
