Fried oyster mushrooms ( Pleurotus ostreatus )
 
The mushrooms are treated the same way as a fried chicken, battered in flour and salt, then deep fried.
 
Additional spices include chili sauce and seasoning powder commonly used for French fries

On Saturday the family and I went to a casino buffet for lunch. It was a depressing meal and venue.
 
Today we resolved to do better. We fired up the smoker and grill and made a great meal: barbecued ribs, smoked chicken, cornbread, and baked beans. The chicken came out even better than the ribs. All I did was rub the chicken with oil, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning, but the apple wood chunks in the grill worked their smoky magic and it was delicious.

The cornbread was nothing special and the beans were from a can because made from scratch baked beans take a day and half to cook and I’ve never been able to make them as good as canned.
 
The chicken I prepared like I said and cooked it on a grill with a water pan underneath and charcoal with about two applewood chunks on each side.
 
Smoking ribs is an involved process and not easy to explain in one post. If you’re interested in making real barbecue I recommend getting a Weber Smoky Mountain and the book Low & Slow by Gary Wiviott.

Hadn’t really thought of it like that. Although it’s a bit less soggy than in the pic since the rice was still absorbing the broth.
 
In short, you take a bunch of meat, a bunch of vegetables, simmer them in broth with rice and season it until it burns your mouth with every bite. Good for when you’re in the mood for something spicy.

Thanks. It was the first time I made it almost completely alone. Mom chopped the vegetables and deveined the shrimp but I did all the actual cooking.

Anyone else do any grilling this summer?
 
I had a few relatives over today. It was my first time manning the grill but I got nothing but compliments all around. I was especially surprised at how well the corn turned out.
