What's an 'offset'??


And that corn sure looks nice and fresh and juicy.

Hey Om, my two sisters (both older than I ) are here for a visit
and the three of us have had a blast for the past week with no
husbands, children, etc, just us three. So since today is the World
Famous Ski to Sea Race here we are
doing the bbq today. I'm doing rack of lamb on the grill with my
muscadine sauce, a risotto and fresh asparagus.
My oldest sister makes a wonderful muscadine jam/sauce that I use in
the wine reduction for the sauce for the lamb and I wanted to make it
for her since she's never had it.

If you are not familiar with the Ski to Sea Race, here's some info.
I can see the last leg from my deck overlooking
the bay and we can watch the kayaks and then walk down to the end of
the race where the street fair is in full swing.

The race is a seven leg relay from Mt. Baker to the sea. It's quite
an event and draws over 400 teams from around
the world.

The fire box is off to the side of the BBQ pit.
The baffle and chimney allow for the heat and smoke flow and there is a
temp gauge installed close to the smoke outlet.

I nuke corn in the husk. :-) Works well!

Hey thanks for that! Sounds like fun... :-)
I have a fence full of Muscadine vines and pruned them well this past
winter in hopes that I'll get grapes this fall for my brother in law to
make wine. He is good at it!

I'll know by August 1st if I am going to get a decent crop this year...

How do you make your Muscadine sauce???
Mom used to make a killer Muscadine grape jelly.

I grilled chicken and some taters in foil packets with a little evoo, salt
and pepper. They got nicely crispy.
I used some chicken breasts from Omaha Steaks because I had them as a gift
and needed to use them. They were really really good with just a very light
sprinkling of garlic and herb rub.

It was in the 90's here. Which is why I was glad the BIL came over early
to get rid of that damned Hackberry branch that was draped over the pit!
My shoulders are too screwed up right now for me to wield the chainsaw.
A fact that I am none too pleased about. The base of the branch was a
good 10" across which made it too heavy to prune and move. :-(

I'll have to give it a whirl next time. I used to bake them in the Weber with
the husks on, but now usually de-husk , wrap in alfoil with some salt, pepper
and garlic butter, and bake like that.

I'll get my sister's recipe and post it for you. You are SO lucky to
have muscadine vines!!! They
don't grow here in WA and I really really wish they did.

I'll post the recipe for you tomorrow or Tuesday when I have more
time.

Sounds tasty! I've not done spuds in the pit for quite some time. I
guess that would be a good way to use up the rest of my coals. <g>

Now that the brother in law has taught me to start my fire box with the
propane weed burner and no paper or kerosine... WOW! I can get larger
logs started with good kindling under it much more easily!

I'd never even thought of that. ;-)
And it's fun...

They peel like a dream... No fighting to get all the silk off, and the
husk seals in the sweetness.

Just toss it into the sink directly out of the microwave and run cold
water over it so you can peel it. The cob retains enough heat to dry
itself in seconds so you can add butter or whatever else you like to
treat it with.

5 minutes for one ear, 7 minutes for two or three.

I'd appreciate it. <g>

Have you tried starting some there? Be careful as they tend to take
over! The vines can be ordered on line.
I grow them as fence cover for privacy mainly, but am hoping I get more
grapes this year.

Thanks Om - I'll give this a try next time I have the corn. When I
shopped for today, the store I go to (Meijer) had the corn on the cob on
sale for $.19 each. And not a single ear existed there while I shopped. :-(

What was the nuke time?

I think 5 minutes is a bit too much but it depends on your microwave.
Otherwise, I am enthusiastic about nuking corn in rinsed husks.

I tend to agree. Most ppl cook the crap outta corn. Five to ten mins
boiling time for yellow corn is common. Yikes! The longer you cook corn, the
tougher it gets. I never cook corn for more than 90 secs. Tender,
yet cooked.

Happy Memorial Day to you as well Bob. :-)

The weed burner is a propane torch with a long handle. I have this one.
The Bernzomatic:

Stick the end in the wood pit once it's loaded, light it and away you
go! Much better than screwing around with newspaper and a standard
lighter. :-)

The propane tank screws on to the handle.

I use it for burning weeds in the driveway.

5 minutes for one ear, 7 minutes for two or three.

It does indeed depend on the microwave... :-) That timing works for
mine. Also depends on how well done you like your corn.
I have, in the past, received good reviews on this method. <g>

Google it. It's not the type of tool someone in your situation should
attempt to use.
