You and your halibut.
I had the choice between said boring fish and some nice, fresh Columbia River salmon for the same price. I chose the salmon. It will hit the grill this evening, simply prepared.
We had 3 lbs. of Whole Foods halibut Friday night. Just a simple BBQ job with a lemon butter mop and some fresh herbs. Man, was that good.
This afternoon I am going to roast a leg of lamb low and slow on my BGE.

added some brown sugar to the recipe, swapped in rice vinegar instead of balsamic. Blanched some bean sprouts, napa cabbage to toss into the noodle and thinly sliced raw cucumber. Really refreshing. Tastes even better the next day when it’s cold out of the fridge!
Friday - After wine tasting at Susan’s, we stopped at Andiamo and had Caesar Salad, Pepperoni Pizza, and Spaghetti Aglio e Olio w/Shrimp & a Veal Chop.
Saturday - Chicken Breasts with two kind of Caribbean rubs and salad at Jeff Pfohl’s.
Tonight - seafood pastries, crab-stuffed avocado salad, and lamb shanks with potatoes and chard; followed by blackberries and raspberries in whipped cream, with Veronica and Jeff here.
Saturday had home made pulled pork 18 hour smoked with apple wood and my spice rub. Served with Copain Arrowhead Zinfandel. Sunday Georgous Day here in IL I have a load of day boat Scallops U-8’s that have seen an hour of cold cherry wood smoke and will get a quick pan sear served on a bed of wild mushroom farro with an 2002 Zind Humbrecht Clos Huaser and side salad.
Tonight: Jerk Cheekin c/o Tropical Pepper Company Jerk Seasoning. Used their seasoning + a little chili garlic paste with a butterflied whole cheekin on the Weber. Served it with grilled zucchini and a green salad.
Saturday night I had bbq pork ribs followed by strawberry shortcake. i washed it all down with a 2005 Petite Sirah from Lambert Bridge. This was a test run for berserkerfest in Napa
