Chuck & Gus

[Jim Lampe]

started with a CISkillet fulla buttered mushrooms & a CIServer of baby Yukons

the chuck eyes were EVOO'd then covered with Penzey's Chicago Steak Seasoning

didn't take long over that extreme heat...

while all that rested, a few spears hit the CIGrates

and finally served up to eet!

red pepper flakes over the asparagus...

it's been quite a while since we've had 'gus, butt with the price of it recently (up to $6.99lb),
i wasn't about the open my billfold too wide. This was down to 3.99lb.

Anyway, thank you for comin' down ;D SoLong!

They say a chuck eye is a poor mans rib eye but that looks like a rich mans meal to me, nicely done!!!!!

Jim and awesome cook as usual. The gus normally runs $3.99/pound around here but earlier this week I grabbed some at $1.99/pound. As you know from my posts, we go through a lot of it, especially with the Tarragon butter sauce. $6.99 is insane!

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks for your kind words
a few weeks ago, when i saw the asparagus for 6.99, i asked a young lad in the produce department if the DM was in, so he shagged him down.
Nice guy, asks if he can be of service, and i said something like, "what's with the price of your asparagus?"
he looked dumbfounded and responded, "it's not the best price, is it?"

I simply told him that i hoped, for the stores sake, no new customers were in the building comparing prices...

like green beans, i've seen them for 2.79lb .... are you JOKIN"??!!

anyway, thanks again folks

Outstanding chuckies and gussies Jim!
Great photos too!

Average winter price for gus here is $3.99/lb, currently on sale at Schnucks for $1.99.
I stocked up.

You never fail to impress, Mr Lampe! Wonderful

Regarding the price on fresh asparagus; if it makes you feel better, I checked the price here where I live. It costs a measly USD 32 for one pound.
