So, he came home with 2 yard birds, and said, "Hey Dad, you can spice up one of these."
And now we gots 2 birds on the pit.
He talked his mom into making home made french fries.
 
Well, that little fart now has my cast iron skillet on the grill, and is frying up his potato sticks.
He is planning on tossing all of them in a paper bag, with "His" spice mix.
The test fries were good.
Oh man, I raised a monster. He is already telling me what I'm doing wrong on my own grill.

Well, the oldest made some Philly Cheese Steak samwitches last night.

BU Chuck, We have several markets and carnecerias around here that do a great job at authentic carnitas in big batches.
You can order the lean or fatty versions by the pound. I like when they are still warm and floating in their juices.
This is the stuff I buy when I make chili verde, cause I am too busy grilling/smoking all of my veg for the dish.
 
Well, found some carnitas. We were wondering how to prepare them, and my oldest stood up and said. "I got this"
He made some strange quesadilla type of thing, it was actually pretty good.
 
Homemade ‘kraut hit 3+ weeks fermenting so it was time for smoky tempeh reubens again. Tonight’s dinner.
