Food Pics

[NCHillbilly]

Finally got my computer back to where I could post pics. Here's a few things we've made lately that I actually remembered to take pics of. Sorry a couple of the pics are blurry, my camera got intoxicated and got on the wrong setting.

A couple episodes of venison "beef" tips with peppers, onions, and mushrooms:





Blackened catfish with mango salsa and Conecuh dirty rice (most excellent: )



Couple meals of grilled bratwurst with grilled peppers and onions:





Chicken parmesan with my homemade garden-canned marinara sauce, fettucini and mushrooms:



Spicy chicken sammich:



Grilled ranch chicken wraps:



Thick-cut pork chops brined in an apricot nectar brine and smoked on the Akorn with some pecan wood, foil-packet grilled red taters, grilled asparagus, and grilled garlic bread. This was gooood:



Chicken and veggies stir-fried with Greek seasonings. This wound up wrapped in pita bread with a Greek salad on the side:



Grilled chicken Alfredo with homemade cream/parmesan sauce. Good stuff.



Grilled pork chop with grilled bacon tater kebabs, grilled pineapple, and haricots verts almondine green beans:



Grilled Italian sausage dogs with grilled peppers and onions:



Two different episodes of jambalaya:





One of my favorites: grilled shish kebabs. Ribeye, onion, and red pepper; chicken, onion, pineapple, and marichino cherry. This was so good:





Moroccan/redneck fusion: Moroccan grilled kofta (made with ground deer meat instead of lamb/goat,) topped with fiery harissa sauce, couscous with preserved lemons and Moroccan spices, tomato/olive relish. This was durn delicious. My first try at Moroccan food, and my first try at couscous, but definitely not the last. This stuff is good. I absolutely love the harissa sauce:



Thick grilled chop marinated in mojo sauce with oven-roasted herbed taters and grilled asparagus:



Stir-fried veggies with ramps and morel mushrooms:



Pecan-crusted catfish with mango salsa and sweet tater shoestrings:



Sage-rubbed pork chops with oven-roasted ranch taters and asparagus:



Greek grilled chicken souvlaki in flatbread with homemade tzatziki sauce and roasted Greek lemon/dill taters:



Asian chicken/cashew stirfry with crispy noodles:



Grilled chicken taquitos with roasted tomatillo salsa verde and guacamole:




Fried white bass with ramp/jalapeno hushpuppies:

Ive been pretty big into greek food the last couple months. The tzatziki goes good on most everything and its easy to make.

Got to the Moroccan food and felt my office chair giving way. Lord, why didn't you warn folks looking at this post was fattening? (Waddlin' off to Office Depot for a Heavy Duty chair.)

Sheeeezzz!!! That is a bunch of good looking plates right there NC! Hard to believe you didn't have a cheeseburger somewhere along in there. Ain't nobody can plate a cheeseburger like you. Add one to it!

 

[Gbeagle]

Dang you getting down don't know if I can make it to dinner now might have to push up my eat time!!

 

[cjones]

Daggum, man.. Put those pics on a restaurant menu and you'd be turning people away at the door! Everything looks awesome!

 

[Hooked On Quack]

Been plenty of those and other stuff too, just didn't take pics of them. A week without a cheeseburger is a week wasted.

So who does most of the cooking in your house Hillbily? Do you and your wife cook all those great meals? Do any of you guys have a chef background ? You seem to like a great variety of foods and which is not common for someone like yourself or me growing up in the south but my wife and I like to expiriment with different food cultures. None of my southern friend like anything but southern food, maybe Mexican. I'll eat anything

Mark, I like all kinds of stuff (except beans and mayonnaise. ) The last few years, I've been experimenting a lot with different ethnic food types, and we really enjoy trying new stuff. Some of it I like, some I don't. But I've came to really like Greek, Caribbean, rustic Italian, Asian, Indian, Cajun, Balkan, Tex-mex, and South American foods. The Moroccan food is on the list now, too. I also love my hillbilly southern soul food that I grew up on, and no week goes by without some good ol' plain southern cooking, either. I grew up in the original bbq epicenter of the country, too, so I love my smoked pig flesh, also. Southern food is one of the world's great cuisines, IMO.

My wife and I both cook a lot, and we both enjoy it. No chef's background or formal training, I just like to eat and love to cook and have an experimental streak. My mom tells me that I was making good homemade cathead biscuits when I was five years old. I learned to cook from watching her and my grandpa, both of whom loved to cook and were really good at it, but I've added some twists to it along the way. I also really enjoy cooking wild game and fish "outside the box:" I try all kinds of different recipes with deer, wild hog, small game, or native fish, and they usually turn out great. For example, I've found that anything that calls for lamb works great with venison.

That's great. I'm southern, wife is not. We both like and cook all different types of foods. I need southern food at least twice a week in some meal . Wife likes southern food but could do without
