Eyes and Loins

[Jim Lampe]

I tried making the potatoes Bob posted on Thursday... butt i did not know all the facts about it until it was too late.
so my taters were spud duds.
anyway,... while they were cookin',

I got the 26" kettle goin' with baby peppers

and chuck eyes (seems this is the only red meat available in this abode.)

Steaks and peppers were GREAT!

potatoes were NOT

moving on...
a two point 4 pound pork loin marinated in Fieri's Carolina #6 Mop & Slop

then lighty seasoned with Blues Hog rub

had some Yukons sliced and in a cast iron skillet with butter seasoned with Penzey's Adobo... butt i started them wayyy too soon.

The loin on the grate (which seemed forever)

biding time, i caught a coupla Baltimore Birds suckin' on the oranges clamped in an old fish grill grate.

back to the pork. once it hit 135ºF inside, i yanked it then sliced it to sear it.

butt i left it on too long. the loin cuts were still tasty butt, ... well, you know what i mean.

they "coulda been a contender!"

I think everything looks great Jim! What was wrong with the potatoes that you said were not great? I am going to give this one a shot, so what do I need to do that you didn't?

 

[Don Cash]

Looks delish!

 

[Becky M-M]

i was wondering the same thing about the taters. pork looks great in the sliced pic.... juicy!

 

[Wolgast]

Looks Awesome mate! And 3x what they said bout the tater? Looks good to me...And thats how mine usually turn out!?

I would love that plate..And for desert i would fight those birds for some oranges.

Another great meal!! "The jury" is still out on the 'bed of salt' tatoes for me too. Need to do more reading before I attempt it.

 

[John Solak]

A couple of excellent looking meals!!

 

[Brian Zimmerman]

I'll take a to-go box with one of everything.

 

[Bob Correll]

Everything looks de-lampe-icious!
You've had me hungry for ribs, now I'm hungry for steak, make up my mind would ya!

Hope I didn't steer you wrong on the salt spuds Jim.

They look great, and my thought is they will be moist, but not moist and fluffy, as ATK claims.
