Never thought about using ramekins for muffin tin / cupcake chicken thighs. That's a really good idea when you don't want to make a dozen at a time.

What's the filling in that? It looks delicious!

[NASH]

I put that grinder to use again and made 4 lbs of spicy breakfast sausage with beer and maple sugar, then it was fried bacon, onions and hard boiled eggs, smoked for 3 hrs then glazed with maple syrup. It's insanely delicious!!!

Got some pork back ribs on the grill now with some hickory chips. Nash, I am giving those stuffed tomatoes of yours a try too. How long did you have them on the grill for? 45 min to an hour?

[NASH]

Usually about 45 mins I think, but at a higher temp. Basically just enough to warm them through and they just start to soften a bit, you can tell if you try to pick them up with tongs. If you cook them too long they'll turn to mush.

You're making me hungry again. I just finished a half rack of St. Louis style ribs grilled and a ceasar salad followed by a bakeapple ( cloudberry ) cheesecake.
Well 1/4 of the cheesecake anyway.
Those stuffed tomatos sure do look promising. I may have to try them out sometime on my holidays when I get the chance to grill again.

[Jimmy]

The tomatoes turned out alright. They tasted awesome but I should have added more cheese, or something else to hold the bacon together..Lesson learned. I will make them again and was thinking maybe mashed potato to hold it together.

A little snack from the shore:


Yesterday's ribs, sorry no finished pics:

[Keggermeister]

Ribs from the weekend. Did 12 racks on my PA bullet with Apple. Added a bread cooling rack that has legs for the extra grill space. Worked like a charm!
