Some pics from the weeked. I was dining solo, so I kept it pretty simple.

I only found egg whites in the fridge. So I HAD to add country ham and cheese:

Happy hour for one. Whole wheat matzo crackers, Barely Buzzed cheese, cornichons, and homegrown radish. And of course, beer.

I cooked a ham and some sweet taters on the grill. The ham was pretty good, but the sweet taters had almost no taste. If I hadn't put butter and cinnamon on them, they would have had hardly any taste. Before tonight, I'd never had sweet taters, that didn't have that sweet tater taste. LOL

Keeping it simple,,,, sausage and scrambled eggs with fresh salsa and cheese :)

I filled the cups on these just a little to full. They did not all rise up to where they should be. (Kids already ate the two good ones).

Boiled up a potato out of the root cellar, sliced, chucked it in a skillet with a shot of olive oil. Went into the yard and cut some wild onions tossed them in with the potatos, hit em with some black pepper. Fried up three eggs (yes three eggs and all for me!), Breakfast of Champions! Or not, but it sure hit the spot. ;)

Well, Although its the first day of spring,, Its cold, windy (70 mph forecast) and rainy here with snow in the local foothills,, http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...Select=WEATHER

I have decided to make a big pot of Chili :) Pics to follow ;)

(Yes....the butt got a big headstart. LOL)

Posting in the bacon thread got me thinking about this one, so last night, I fixed bacon wrapped meatballs, brushed with BBQ sauce and cooked/smoked on the grill.

I'm actually posting this, to give a report on the BBQ sauce that I used. Sweet Baby Ray's raspberry chipotle sauce. Just tasting it, right out of the bottle, it seemed to be a bit to heavy with the raspberry taste, for my liking. (I'm not a big raspberry fan.)
Now I have to tell the rest of the story. After brushing it on, and cooking, the sauce turned into that thick sticky glaze that I think most of us like, and that seemed to calm down the raspberry taste just a little, and DANG....that stuff was GOOD!

I haven't tried the raspberry yet, but their regular sauce is the best supper market BBQ sauce, IMO. I started using it a couple of years ago when they were just starting to push it in the market place. They had really good sales on it, so I was surprised how good it was. Now it's more in line with the cost of other sauces, but I'm glad to pay the price. It's very good!
