Dinner T.G.I.F. - July 3rd
#11
  Re: (...)
We bottled at a winery again yesterday, so dinner did not get cooked or eaten - had delivery from Sam's Chinese instead. (whew, the body is getting old!)

So, tonight, we're having really thin ribeyes (they were in the discount meat bin and couldn't pass it up) and the marinated Veggie salad from issue 76.

What are you all up to?

KC BBQ Spareribs and Crique Fries!!

Crique Fries:

Ingredients:

Potatoes (quantity is dependent upon number of people being fed and the type (size) of the potato). Peeled (optional) and sliced 1/8"-1/4".

Bacon

Onion - sliced thin

Salt and Pepper

Preparing and Cooking:

1) take a sheet of aluminum foil and lay it out on the counter

2) take several slices of bacon and place side by side centered on the aluminum foil

3) place a layer of potatoes on top of the bacon

4) add a layer of onion and season with salt and pepper

5) repeat steps 3 and 4 twice

6) finish with another layer of bacon

7) cover with another sheet of aluminum foil

8) seal the two pieces of aluminum foil - fold and pinch all four sides to make a tight seal

9) place on grill, flipping every 20-30 minutes. Watch for flame-ups that will occur if the seal leaks and bacon grease pours out. Before flipping the potatoes, if they have "ballooned up", lightly press on the bag until the majority of the air has escaped. This prevents the bacon from falling to the middle and not getting cooked.

Depending on the quantity of potatoes (size of bag), and how hot the fire is, this should take approx. 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Smell of cooked bacon should let you know if it is done.

I'm doing these in the oven this time. I'll do them for 1 1/2 hours at 375.

Good Lord, Barbara - that sounds so bad and so very good!! We use to do something like that with the kids camping, but I don't remember adding bacon - we did add chesse tho.

Probably the wrong season but my husband is making a "spicy lamb stew". It smells awesome. Hey, anytime someone wants to cook dinner, I'm in!

I've got the A/C on and a cold glass of chardonnay so all is well.
