Looks like wonderful fare RH! These beans look especially delicious.  

[reinhard1]

I bought some fresh green beans for snaking on also.  Every bite I think of Reb.  good luck.

No beans this time around.  Asian lettuce wraps tonight.  It was so good according to my wife that we will have this tomorrow also.  I used boneless chicken breasts,fresh ginger, minced garlic, green onions,celery chopped, chicken broth,Asian red chile sauce, Chinese 5 spice powder, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and I used romain lettuce leaves.  good luck.

 

Everythings stir frying.

 

 

I like using romain leaves for wraps instead of iceberg lettuce.  I put some fresh cucumber kimchi on top.  I could eat this more for sure.  good luck.

Nice rh, looks really good and good for you. Must be that kind of night, the Mrs ended up doing an Asian plank steak balsamic something or another which was pretty  tasty.  Paired with wantons and chop sticks in the grab and go position.

Know what the perfect thing would be? Living right between RH and bobber!   'Course, this would be me calling ya up.....

And Busch light?  Were they out of lost lake light?

Finally after finishing writing some copy, time to post some photos of tonight's latest experiment.

2 lbs. of ground lamb made into 1/3 lb. patties with the burger smasher. That part was OK. The burgers held together. Seasoned with Montreal Steak seasoning. Bacon wrapped portobello mushrooms on top of a slice of red onion with a few extra hunks of red onion thrown in to get that grilled flavor. 2 kinds of Swiss cheese: Crystal Farms and Kraft thin sliced singles. I had enough initially but ate 3 slices of Crystal Farms before the stuff made the grill. The Kraft was drier and melted more slowly, preferable if you're wanting the cheese slice to maintain its integrity rather than dripping on the coals. Neither did but another few swigs of Dos Equis and it could have. My overall grade: B+. Very tasty, filling, and by adding the bacon, I negated most of the healthy virtues of the portobello's! 

Getting mentally prepared...

Done! No need for a bun, just a napkin and more beer.

The only help I got all night. Thanks Ruby!

That sure looks great Dotch.  What a burger!!  Good choice of beer also.  Very nice dark beer.  I have the same help with the plates.  good luck.

[bobberineyes]

Holy smokes dotch,  those gotta be the best looking burgers I've seen on this thread!!!     Nicely done.

Hey thanks guys. Looking forward to the leftovers. I did cut one corner and used hickory charcoal rather than any additional wood. Figured I'd get plenty of smomeage out of the bacon dripping on it.  

And ain't nothin' wrong with Busch Light. My diabetic brother claims it's one of the lower carb beers out there so try to keep some on hand when he comes over. Sometimes I have to make a run to restock before he shows up.

you let your brother come over???????????????

Only when he brings me a bottle of Boodles. 

[RebelSS]

Wow!!! Whata dinner!!! Looks like a 10 to me! I'd even push that pooch outta the way for some! Makes my first cheeseburger grill out look downright puny! 

Got the deck all cleaned off with that new power-poofer, and got all the furniture/grills/smokers out....(other two are behind me...decks getting crowded on that side.....)

 

 

Got the burgers going on the grill...

 

 

Sat down to swiss/cheddar cheese burgers, beans, and bacon-cheddar pasta....Spring's officially here!!! 

 

[reinhard1]

Reb that's real tough to look at being on our diet for 17 days.  I just told my wife I'm going to cheat on her this weekend after looking at that pic.   A good burger is on my cheat list.  It doesn't matter what resturant I go to [and I go to one maybe once a year] I order a burger while everyone else orders whatever.  Stop posting this stuff Reb!!! Your even a moderator and pushing folks over the edge.  good luck.

[RebelSS]

With that puny thing??!  Besides, I was so revved up, I forgot the purple onion slices.....Whatta 'bout Dotch? He started it! It's all his fault! *SNIVEL*WHINE*    Do you know what YER pics do to ME, rh?! I can't print it here!!!!  I'll try to tone it down, as much as I can, though. Just for you. hehe....

I've been meaning to chime in on the lack of portion control on this thread. Remember, your portion size should be no more then the size of a deck of playing cards. Also remember that since 1970 the plate size has gone from 9 inches to 12

[RebelSS]

Ah, right you are.  I try very hard to adhere to that size, coop!

[bobberineyes]

Awesome looking meal reb!!!! That'll put you na nite  after yard work. Forgot the Mrs had a function tonight so the youngster and I did a couple of homemade zas.  One on old faithful and the otter in the oven.

[RebelSS]

I'll take two of those, too. *urp*burp* That's portion control for ya.  

It kinda smells pretty ripe in here, for some reason. Think I better open ALL the windows a bit more...
