It’s going to be 24 hours before they’ll be ready to eat, but just mixed up a crockpot full of hot bol’d peanuts for the long July 4th weekend.

Having the daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter over this afternoon/evening.   I'll grill some mini-filets and some buttered mini-potatoes along with roasted carrots & whatever sides Gayle plans.   I'll offer some Wild Turkey Mint Juleps from a patch of peppermint my neighbor offered me last fall when she was thinning her patch.   It's doing GREAT!!    Possibly 3-times the size it started, and filled in densely!    We'll probably play lawn games (until everybody says; "It's too damned hot & humid. Let's go inside and play Euchre.").    Either way; a fun, tasty, celebratory and safe way to enjoy our Independence Day.

Slainte!

I've seen signs when we travel down south for boiled peanuts. Never had them. Can you fill me in on your process?

I too, have always wondered about 'boiled p-nuts'.   It seems many (all?) "Southerners" love 'em, so I assume they're pretty tasty.   Never had the chance to try 'em, though.   I'd like to though.

I respect that many people love them but to me they are just hot, wet, peanuts. 🤷‍♂️ I'll stick to dry roasted.

Here’s the recipe. Use raw peanuts in the shell.  Not roasted.   This recipe is more a Cajun style with the spices.  You can just use salt if you like.  I subbed sport peppers for the jalapeños, and add the liquid smoke, which I think gives a nice flavor bump.  24 hours on low in the crockpot.  7 Qt crockpot works best, as this recipe is too much for smaller ones.  But, you can adjust proportions accordingly.

Did a couple of pizzas on the Weber kettle for dinner last night, before heading out for fireworks.

Sorry late getting back to you!  I got it as a Father's Day present, I think…😁. The girls said the ordered from them directly here:

While all that I’ve made have been good+, the last one was exceptional.  There are a few tricks that I learned along the way, that resulted in this last one.  Charcoal and pan positioning is crucial, and wood chunks on the coals is what not only gives it that cool fire inside, but it seriously raises the temp in the oven, which gives the pizza the nice crisp.  Buried the thermometer this time.

Pan chicken fried on the gasser.  8 hours soaked in buttermilk, before dredging in the seasoning mix.  I’m learning to get a lot of that buttermilk off of the chicken before dredging, so it gets more crisp to hang on during the fry.  It’s done its job during the soak, so less at the end means more…These were scrumptious.  😍

Chicago Dog night, tonight.  Or, about as close as I can get with what they give me here, Down South…🤪.  Regardless, it’s marvelous!  😍

My wife grew up just outside Chicago.  It took her MONTHS to reproduce a relish that almost matches that correct color of green that you can get in a jar in most Chicago groceries but nowhere else (except Amazon, of course).  I am addicted to hot dogs.  Hence, every year for the last forty=plus years, she has treated me to Chicago dogs with home-made relish on my birthday.  No birthday for me until next year now, but your pic has me lobbying for a special meal - ChiDog with dogs done on the grill, homemade mac and cheese, and a Caesar salad.  Eaten from paper plates, of course.

Edited by Harry in WashDC
added the bit about color - color is MOST important in the relish

Maters and sweet corn are late summer Ohio staples. How about a BLT and a grilled corn and tomato salad. Yum, yum ,yum...
