7 June 2018 - In Case of Fire....Cook

Broil Fish Outside over a Charcoal Fire

"It's time once again for cooking some of your meals outdoors over a charcoal fire. Fish is a natural for this form of cookery because it cooks so quickly."


I love this picture of our Grill Master here.
Men and grills are like the best visions of summer time.
If you don't see a guy baking a cake, he is probably outside at the grill.
Definitely with a cooler of beer nearby.

Now in the picture you can see Grill Master has the fish in a contraption over the grill.
These are commonly known as a "Grill Basket". 

A grill basket helps hold your items in place so that they don't fall into the grill, landing on your charcoal. They can be used for fish, shrimp, vegetables, or other side dishes.
You can buy large baskets that can cook many items at once, flipping them all over in one move that helps evenly cook your food.

You can also cook fish on grilling planks.
You can read all about how to use these in this article from The Art of Manliness.
 I would actually suggest you read some of their other topics as well!
I only scanned their website but they touch on topics like being a father, relationships, emotional success, and style.

Being a successful man isn't about your ability to use a grill basket or grilling planks!
If you failed at grilling a meal that was intended for your family and/or friends, that is a manly feat in itself. There isn't any further pride or expression of love a man or woman can have than to serve others.

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should." Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender.

30 January 2018 - Scotch Woodcock Two Ways...and more

Scotch Woodcock - Two Recipes "From Mrs. Beeton's nineteenth century homemaking guide: Spread hot buttered toast thinly with anchovy paste. Pour over a sauce made by stirring three beaten egg yolks into 1/4 pint cream, bring to a boiling point, but do not allow to boil or the sauce will curdle." This is a traditional Victorian recipe as you can tell because we get a return from Mrs. Beeton in today's Almanac post. Basically this becomes a creamy scrambled egg on toast with anchovy paste.  This is the second recipe for today "Add finely chopped hard cooked eggs to a white sauce that has been seasoned with anchovy sauce and paprika. Pour over toast." If you are wondering what eggs has to do with the title of the recipe just know that most Scottish recipes that contain chicken in it will have the word "Cock" in there too. (Don't blush you prudes) I'm not trying to be silly. (Get your head out of the gutter) ...
