That's not trout...

I went to get some trout to make some very simple but delicious trout tacos that we do...will have to post it another time, because they did not get the trout in. It's all good because they had King Crab legs on sale for $9.99/lb. Planning ahead and to free up some space in the freezer, I first made up some chicken thighs for lunches throughout the week...

Here are the thighs cooking up with some McCormick Montreal Chicken seasoning with some apple and maple wood chips. The foil packs are the taters for the crab legs (will show those below).



Here they are all done...I have a bottle of sauce at work that will go on these when they get re-heated with some taters and frozen veggies.



Now on to dinner. Here are the taters prepped. Red potatoes with EVOO, garlic and dry dill.



Some tomato salad (tomatoes, EVOO, balsamic vinegar, dry Italian seasoning and some sliced string cheeses...I mean dry mozzarella...)



Gotta have grilled lemon...also melted some butter but no picks of that process.



Some asparagus (don't worry, I account for losing some between the grates when I buy them...)



Crab legs nested in foil with butter, Old Bay, and lemon juice. Added some white wine when they went on the grill.



Cooking up...



And it all comes together!



Seriously one of the best meals I have ever made. Wife and daughter loved it!

Thanks for looking!

Jeff, that crab looks so good! Been a while since I've had some...... lets see your about 3 hrs away.....I've got a full tank of gas.....1/2 pack of cigarettes, it's dark out and I'm wearing sunglasses........................
 
can't help but notice the hard cider you're drinking - just picked up a few of those ambers myself today....

dunno if you're interested but there's a recipe @ home brew talk that I helped make a few weeks ago that's a dead ringer, I think.

I know it's off topic but the ciders are really good, potent, and easy to make! (sanitation is about the only concern)

Here's the recipe: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f81/graff-malty-slightly-hopped-cider-117117/

BTW, the rest of the meal looks pretty good too!
 
I REALLY like this............

Awesome cookin' Jeff!
say, angle your shot a little, overhead photos do not add the depth to your great food shot, just an idea :)

Thanks for the tip! I did an angle shot but you could see all the crap I had lying on the counter around it...I agree it looks more 2D, I'll just push stuff further out of the way next time! ;)

Delicious looking cook Jeff! I really like the way you did those potatoes! I
just may have to "borrow" your recipe! ;)

Thanks and "borrow" away! Basically everything I make is a variation on another recipe I found or is something I "borrowed" that I ate somewhere else...this came from trying to re-create the potatoes at Boston Market in the oven, then found its way to my grill...

Thanks! I haven't done any homebrew, but I know a few folks that do, so I could get them to walk me through it...maybe bribe them with some BBQ and they can compensate me in beer/cider!

The one in the pic is a new one Woodchuck came out with that has some raspberry in it. I was skeptical, but now am sold! Really adds a nice kick to it!
 
I like how you prepared the crab legs. It also looks like your coworkers are gonna be jealous when you break out lunch this week too, everything looks fantastic!!!
 
Great looking crab legs, Jeff. I was also wondering how long they were on for, and how much "grill essence" they picked up? Ya know, smoky flavor :)
