Grilling!

Well the summer here in the Pacific Northwest has finally turned nice, and that means it is grill season! Britt found a really nice used grill on craigslist for a good price and we gave it some good exercise this past weekend. Aside from the standard hamburgers and hotdogs we also grilled up some steaks and portabello mushrooms.

Long time, no post!

I have been busy!  To come clean, I have been playing a lot of World of Warcraft.  Though I have also gotten back into my workout regimen.  So I think that about evens out.

I have been having a lot of fun with my Nikon D200.  In fact I won the contest I entered at Cnet's Indecent Exposure podcast!  Apparently I have a nice Nikon travel mug headed my way.

I have put a couple more photos up on my flickr page.  Right now I am working on my photography skills and am planning on entering the contests weekly over at DPChallenge.

This past weekend we had a shindig we called Meat Storm '09.  It featured some tasty pork ribs and a BBQ beef roast.  The ribs recipe I followed was Alton Brown's from the Good Eats episode Pork Fiction.

Macaroni and Cheese!

I am a really big fan of Food Network. Especially Alton Brown and his amazing shows Good Eats, Feasting on Asphalt, and Feasting on Waves. I had the TV on in the background the other day and was casually listening to Tyler's Ultimate. I wasn't really paying much attention, Tyler Florence isn't too exciting of a cook. However the food he made that episode sounded extremely good! I ended up watching the whole episode. It was called Tyler's Ultimate Mac 'n Cheese. Comfort food at its best! Also in the episode was a home-made tomato soup that I will have to make myself soon.

On another note, I haven't been much of a fish eater most of my life, though I am developing a palate for it. In fact, when I was in Hawaii I had several seafood dishes, most of them utilizing the local mahi-mahi. So, this weekend my good friend Mike and I plan to head down to the Pike Place Market in Seattle and pick up some fish! I really want to make my own fish and chips with some cod or maybe halubut. I will probably use Alton Brown's recipe from the episode Fry Hard!
