Steven is cooking today. He asked me what I want for Father's Day dinner. I hadn't given it any forethought and know it's probably too late to get the the fish guy's place for real nice, thick swordfish steaks. I told him to find *FRESH* sword steaks or have a couple of 1/2 to 3/4 inch porterhouse or T-bone steaks cut at Straub's. He just looked at me like I was putting him on the verge of bankruptcy. I'm going to Eckert's today to see what I can find for veggies and fruit. I'm hoping for some really big tomatoes. Sooooo... It'll be fish or steak, giant baked potatoes with sour cream and a few snips of chive from the garden. A plate of sliced tomatoes (if I can find them) and most like grilled cabbage, stuffed or not. Dessert will be fruit. It's sort of like I'll be eating tonight what can be found today. What's eveyone else doing tonight?

me too, well stuff found that looks good and is fresh. Not stuff found while looking in the canned or frozen aisles.
Probably some pork steak grilled rubbed with granulated red onion powder and granulated garlic served with some wedges of zucchini grilled and brushed with Italian Salad dressing that has a dash of maggi sauce in it. And a nice chuck it together salad (assorted salad stuff that strikes my fancy, looks good and is priced right (might contain almost anything from diakon to green apple). Dressed with a ranch dressing.

Probably some steaks unless we end up being out all day. NY is the favored cut around here.
We have cake for dessert either way. Resident dad requested cake long ago so it has been baked, filled and frosted.

Steven shouldn't be cooking. Your kids should cook for you today. Tell them to get over to your house pronto and bring the food with them. Whatever it is they cook, you'll eat with love. It's your day!

I bet they don't have them yet, but Hartke's has fresh grown tomatoes by July.

I'm glad you enjoy cabbage. You can have my share.

There have been wonderfully ripe pineapples around lately.

I'm going to cut my hubby's hair and then we'll probably do some tacos. We cooked a picnic last night. No other plans.

They are both in Chicago. I guess I should say the one that lives in St. Louis is visiting the one that lives in Chicago. And yes, Steven SHOULD cook for me today. If you only knew the aggravating amount of minutiae I've had to deal with for two weeks... grrrrr... He brought home 2 porterhouse steaks to grill tonight. Decent sized, about 1+ inch thick. I still haven't decided what to cook with. It's too damned hot to worry about right now.

No grilling for me today. I was thinking either spaghetti or tacos. I have the fixin's for either/or. It's a toss-up.

No grilling here, either. I think every dinner this week was from the grill. No complaints, mind you. But, it's getting warm so we decided to go eat somewhere air conditioned.
Went to this place that has very good Italian food. I ordered, get this, Pork Chop Murphy. I know. This was the best pork chop I ever had in my life. So good I even finished it off by picking it up and knawing the bone. I didn't care what anyone thought. So good.
For dessert, hazelnut cheesecake. That was outstanding too. Glad we went.

We're in Chicago also and it's too hot to do a pork roast inside so we've got this http://groups.google.to/group/rec.food.recipes/msg/93b7a7e08bd67ff6 going in a hammered aluminum dutch oven over indirect heat on our natural gas grill outside. Don't care to get into a "discussion" about the pros and cons of gas grills but I will say it's nice to have an outside oven when it's 90+ degrees outside.
Boneless turkey tenderloin from Aldi's, packaged in a mustard marinade Squash, tomatoes, and potatoes in a foil pan. I par-cooked the potatoes before mixing them with the other veggies.
With this thread you talked me into it... wonderful burgers... ground up from two fresh never frozen boneless chuck steaks, a total of 3 pounds, which was just right for four 12oz burgers. Two burgers hit the freezer, two hit the grill. I didn't prepare anything else so it really wasn't as much as it seems, especially not with 6 famished cats that have been pacing ever since I brought out that cow... adn besides my two mugs of black coffee this morning that's all I ate today, been toiling away with my gardening. My burger (actually a chopped steak) was hanging over a very undersized roll.. brought out the ketchup but then changed my mind, just salt n' pepper. The cats have been nibbling away for two hours now and there's still some in their bowls... but cats need to nap between gorgings... I guarantee that tomorrow morning those bowls will be licked so clean I wont need to wash them. Big, rare, juicy burgers... was goooood! I'm sitting here burping and sipping a gin n' tonic.

One of my dreams is an "outdoor kitchen". Maybe some day it will happen.... or maybe not.

Mine is getting there. 8 (I think) smokers and/or grills. Several of them can be and are used as ovens. Even @ different temperatures at the same time (partly the reason for so many).
The sink is there, but with cold water only, so far.
Couple of counters and cabinets, but *not* where they will end up. The 'fridge will stay inside, to avoid redundancy, and to keep operating costs down.
BOB with 2 grills and a smoker burning now (all wood/charcoal, no gas)

Mmmm... I made burgers last week. Nothing like a good burger. I usually top mine with sliced onion, pickle and mustard. Steven likes his with s&p and ketchup too.

If I had to choose only one meal to eat every day it would be burgers. I usualy have mine with onions, either raw, grilled, or fried. But today the meat was so scrumptious I nixed the onion, and the ketchup. Btw, yesterday I planted my forest pansy, I named her Mikey! LOL

I'm with you on the last meal choice. Do you always use chuck? I don't think I've ground any other kind of meat for burgers in a couple of years. To me both round, sirloin and chuck all have subtley different flavors. I have always enjoyed chuck the most when it comes to burgers and chilli.
LOL... Mikey eh? It is beautiful. I'm still undecided on what I want to do. Too many irons in the fire this year. BTW, did you know I named a rescue cocker after you? You remember Shelly don't you? Poor baby was put down last year in the end stages of Huntington's Disease. He had a great couple of years with us though.
