Late to The Party

[John Solak]

Superbowl posting party that is. I was suppose to work SB weekend, have a lot a vacation to burn so I decided to take the weekend off.Instead of staying home we decided to go camping and come home Monday so we, actually I could watch the Superbowl. Here are some food pics and a couple of highlights from an outstanding weekend!!

Superbowl food. Some pizza Empanadas using Grand rolled biscuits. Pizza sauce, onion, yellow peppers, peperoni, and mozzarella cheese.

Hot wings seasoned with some Mad Hunky Hot Wang rub. I am hooked on this rub, great stuff and just the right amount of heat.

Some leftover ribs I had made earlier in the week.

Some pics of our weekend.

My Wife and I

Some tree out in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of shoes and undergarments on it.

Trail to a place called the Pinacles.

One of the mineral pools at the campground we stayed at we the water coming out of the ground is cooled down to 105*f

Sorry for such a long post, like I said it was an outstanding, fun, exciting and relaxing weekend all rolled in one and I wanted to share a little bit of it with all of you fine people. Thanks for looking!!!

Great looking grub , man! I'm stealing the "grands" empanadas idea . That looks killer.
The campground looks like a great place too.

Great pics John! Those grill-baked pizza empanadas are brilliant.

 

[Joe InJersey]

Nice work John. Looks like a great trip too. Do you use a whole grand biscuit for each empanada? or do you cut them first?

 

[Dave O (Alaska)]

looks like a great weekend! I like your empanada idea.

 

[John Solak]

Nice work John. Looks like a great trip too. Do you use a whole grand biscuit for each empanada? or do you cut them first?

I use the whole thing and stretch them out too to make them a little bigger

Thanks for finally showing your mug, but you still will always look like Bob to me.

thanks for sharing the empanada idea..........I'm assuming you did it indirect; how long did they take to brown; once they browned, did the inside heat up/melt sufficiently, or did you have to let them hang out for a while?

I'm definitely doing it this weekend.......killer idea!!

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

John as others have said, awesome cook and the weekend looked great.

PS - I'm stealing your recipe!
