Grilled some burgers.

Got busy last night but at the end of the day, we had brisket. :)

It was coffee. I’m an old man! Can’t switch over to Jack until around 10:00 am. :cheers:

Friday’s Brisket

Posted by Bayou Tiger Fan Too on 10/2/26 at 7:18 am
Walked outside this morning around 3:30 and built a fire. Seasoned up a brisket and tossed it on the pit. Been on since 4:30. Hopefully, it’ll be supper tonight. Some Fridays are just better than others. :)

Made catfish sandwiches. :)



They're pretty easily found around SE LA when the big green jumbos are in season. Various produce stands, roadside, many supermarkets, even some individuals, who sell no other produce, will retail the jumbos in August and September. I bought these at a local produce stand. Most sell green by the sack, half sack or already boiled by the quart or gallon.

I've been boiling peanuts for at least fifty years. We used to grow our own. They're a lot easier to come by now days. I only fool with them when the jumbos come out.
Pretty much the same but at the second boil, after adding the seasoning, kill your fire and just let them steep in the hot water for a couple of hours. Check them and if they’re not tender, it’s a quick boil to get them there. Saves a bit of propane. Will still need to soak until seasoned to your tastes.
Around here $5.00 to $7.00 a quart bag. Some folks a little more.
Taking advantage of this cooler weather. Only supposed to get up to 95 degrees today. :) Have a sack of jumbo green peanuts on the boil and my little blower keeping me cool!

Made six inch grilled ham and cheese poboys with chips.

Glad that you got to visit one last time before they closed.

Went to Buddies, in Hammond.









The owners of Benteaux are working on another restaurant concept in Ponchatoula. It's going to feature seafood and will be named Maurepas Restaurant. It'll be located in a remodeled space at the front of the building, where Cypress Landing just opened. The building used to be the old event venue located across the street from Rainbow Daiquiris. No idea on the timeline.

Stewed some chicken, with rice and corn. :)

I’ve had one for over thirty years. 40” x 20” cooking chamber with a 20” x 20” firebox. Built a bit stouter than the ones today. Haven’t done a thing to it in all the time that I’ve had it other than cook on it. Start with a chimney of coals, throw a couple of logs on, bring it to temp and then walk out to take a look at it every 45 minutes or so. Poke the fire or throw another log in, when needed.

Makes for a nice day when hanging around the house. :)
