Category: Beef Tue Jun 26, 2007What to do When You Can't Get Sausage Off Your Mind Is there something wrong with you when almost every moment of your day, waking and sleeping, is filled with thoughts of juicy, spicy hot sausages? This is what life has been for me ever since the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party three weeks ago. After consuming a hot link made by Southside Market, it's seemed as if my whole goal in life is to eat more of these overly delicious tubes of spiced beef. I'm even considering taking 1/2 a day of an upcoming 2 day trip to Houston to drive to Elgin to feed my addiction, but even that seems too far away and has not released my brain for alternative thoughts (it's amazing how my designs at work have become very sausage centric). I had to have more, and I had to have it now, so I did the best thing I could think of, and made some of my own.

After spending the winter trying to get on the Hellgate CSA, then being wait listed, and finally being accepted, the first distribution day was at hand. For those who are unfamiliar with a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), here's how it works: A community of people pair together with a local farmer who provides fresh fruit and produce for the members once a week. So we get whatever is in season on the farm, and this week's share included red salad bowl lettuce, curly cress, oregano, radishes, leeks, and mizuna. Mizuna, hmmmm, never heard of that one before... So the gf went on a search to find a recipe that would utilize this salad herb, and low-and-behold, she found something that included 1/2 of this week's share, plus called for a nice steak on top. What can't she do? More and recipe after the jump >> 
Mon May 21, 2007Meatopia It was bound to happen, so I guess it's best to just get it out of the way; Shake Shack. God knows those two words did not need even one more utterance in a blog anywhere, but I went ahead and said them. It's over, done with, and now I can go on. The Meatwave and mother nature have has a rocky relationship since the begging, with first ever Meatwave, Meatmorial Day, being canceled due to rain. Ever since then the kickoff of the season has always been plagued by rain and cold weather, and it seemed this year would be no different with some ominous weather reports. Although I always remain hopeful that The Meatwave will triumph over the elements, I decided to proceed with caution and not go crazy buying a ton of meat that might not get eaten. I figured burgers were a good place to start, since I have my new meat grinding toy, and even if we were to get rained out, I could still make my patties and freeze them for later use. As I expected, the meat was victorious: the sun was shining, the weather warmed up, and besides a quick passing shower, it was one hell of a great Meatwave. More and recipe after the jump >>
Sun May 6, 2007Viva el Meato! After a disappointing attempt at some meaty treats for Cinco de Mayo earlier this week, I was left with little choice but to get out and grill again in order to appease the Mexican gods (and by gods, I'm mostly talking about my stomach). I'm no fool though, so after coming to the conclusion that New Yorkers and authentic Mexican food is not what the holiday is about, it was time to take the Tex-Mex approach with some tasty fajitas.
