No-meat Wednesday

BBQ Block Party Fast Pass

As you can imagine, the life of a Meatmaster can be very demanding, so much so that there isn't always time for the meat.

*gasp*

Yes, that's right, Wednesday was my only day at the homestead and only the only day I had to grill this week. Unfortunately Wednesday was also the only day the angel's could get a lane, and some torrential thunderstorms made grilling near impossible. That doesn't mean that there wasn't meat on my mind.

I finally got my Big Apple BBQ Block Party Fast Pass today, but not after my mail carrier caused me to have minor myocardial infarction by originally sending it back as undeliverable. Although it took some time (I was probably one of the first people to order one of these babies when they went on sale way back when), the good people at the Block Party got it in my hands before the event on June 9-10.

Also, this Sunday is the official start of The Meatwave with Meatopia. So, knowing you also must have meat on your mind this rainy day, what do you all want to be cooked up for this joyous event on Sunday?

A Journey Into the Land of Sausage

Chicken Apple Sausage

In a never ending quest to expand The Meatwave, each year sees a new addition that results in more meat. This year is no exception with the acquisition of a meat grinder and sausage stuffer. So as a preview for what's to come this season, and an excuse to play with my new toys, I set out to make my very first sausages ever!

For the Love of the Chicken

Citrus Chicken

Wednesday was a beautiful day, one of those that lets you know summer is on its way, but spares you of the oppressive heat and humidity that is soon going to be endured. Believe it or not, summer doesn't always make me hungry for big chunks of barbecued pork, but instead I find myself wanting something a bit lighter and brighter. For most people I'm guessing this means a nice salad or pasta primavera, but in the land of The Meatwave, it means chicken. There didn't seem to be a more fitting meal for this beginning of summer than a nice citrus rubbed barbecued bird.

Viva el Meato!

Fajitas

After a disappointing attempt at some meaty treats for Cinco de Mayo earlier this week, I was left with little choice but to get out and grill again in order to appease the Mexican gods (and by gods, I'm mostly talking about my stomach). I'm no fool though, so after coming to the conclusion that New Yorkers and authentic Mexican food is not what the holiday is about, it was time to take the Tex-Mex approach with some tasty fajitas.

Pork Disaster

Guajillos

So I thought it would be fun to try to make something different to gear up for Cinco de Mayo and break away from the usual fajitas, tacos, guacamole (not that there's anything wrong with that). I turned to one of my favorite cookbooks, Mexican Everyday, in search for something that would possibly make the holiday a little more authentic, which is where I made my first big mistake. We all know that it's appalling for residents of NYC to attempt to make authentic Mexican food (salsa in particular) and I don't know why I ever thought that I would be an exception to this rule.
