Thank you, Sir. Work and Facebook has seemingly taken me away from PA, but slowly making my way back.

a little BBQ truck appeared in my neighborhood yesterday, two guys in a cramped camper serving some of the best smoked 'Que I've ever eaten; they had brisket, hot links, pulled pork shoulder, chicken, and ribs, plus delicious greens, slaw, beans and cornbread.  I got everything.  You don't see authentic barbecue made with love too often on the west coast, I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

A recipe from my upcoming multi-million selling book "Food for Dull Men" (out well before Christmas time):

1 piece of white bread
1 big spoon of haggis
1 slice of mild cheese
1 sliced mushroom

Microwave the haggis for 2 minutes, put it on the slice of white bread and put the cheese and mushrooms on the top of that again. Put the whole creation on a plate and let it microwave for 1 minute. Eat.

My recipe for old style fish 'n' chips is simple. Made it this weekend just to prove to some people that I actually can cook something without burning down the kitchen.

Mis En Place :
1 fresh halibut
peanut oil
flour
eggs
lemons
lemon pepper
a pinch of tobasco sauce
baking soda
3 pints of flat guinness beer
5 potatos
Mayonnaise
Dill pickles


Preparation :

Mix everything in a mixing bowl and whisk  the hell out of it until a rather thick but not too thick texture is achieved. Add baking soda at end so the batter will rise.

While you're doing this get your wife to wash potatos and cut into generous size strips. Leave skin on. Best part.

Cut halibut into filets. Filet halibut by making an incision down the spine and cut inwards. Skin halibut flanks.Cut halibut fillets into 150 ounce portions. Your wife can do this as well. Pat down with towel to suck out moisture.

Dice up dill pickles very fine. Wife's job as well.

Actual Cooking :
Heat deep fryer to 350 degrees with peanut oil
dunk chips into fryer until golden brown
dip halibut into batter covering whole filet with batter then dip into deep fryer until golden brown
 
Accompaniment :
This is a north American thing, Tartar suace

Put diced dill pickles in mayonnais squeeze some lemon in and a touch of tobasco & vinegar.

Serving :

Put Tartar sauce in a small ramikin with chips on plate with fried fish on top. ( Brits traditionally wrap their fish 'n' chips in newspaper. )

Pig out.

Get wife & her friends to clean up the mess and drink the rest of the Guinness with buddies while watching hockey game.

^ Yeah, it’s very good! The recipe is Norwegian, and typically we use leftovers of cod or pollock, and sour cream instead of yoghurt (the Norwegian yoghurt is nothing compared to the Greek).

Very simple food this evening: spaghetti with onion, garlic, chilli, sundried tomatoes, basil and grated cheese.

Damn, that sounds pretty good.  Didn't come up with a dish quite like that when I was browsing for one.  I hate fish with pin bones. Angry  I don't care how they taste.  You may have heard of shark fin soup which is a popular Asian dish.  Never had any.

When I came home, I used Google Translate to find out what kind of fish it was. It turned out to be tope, aka school shark:

Does any of you have any experiences with shark meat? I know it’s used in Spain and Mexico where it’s called cazon. Does it require special treatment, or can I cook it in the same way as I cook swordfish?


I don't know a lot about fish but I've noticed shark (especially frozen) can get crumbly if overcooked

I got your shark recipes right here:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/search/delegate.do?fnSearchString=shark&fnSearchType=site
Ooooh, this one looks good, it ain't Greek though:

Ingredients

  • 1 pound mako shark or marlin loin cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 can chipotle in adobo
  • 2 gloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 fresh corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Begin by skewering the diced shark onto skewers putting about 5 to 6 pieces per skewer. Repeat process set aside. In a blender combine the chipotle, garlic, cilantro leaves and olive oil and puree until smooth. Lay skewers on a tray and pour a little of the chipotle mixture over each one and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour. Grill each skewer on a hot grill for 3 minutes on each side and serve with tortillas, onion, cilantro and lime wedges.

Haven't ever had or cooked shark myself.  I'm more of a salmon and raw tuna kinda guya.

Super Bowl time.  Did I mention I have 7 lbs. of chicken wings sitting in the fridge?  If they don't flat out kill me, well I'll be one happy guy.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.
