    • Black Bean and Corn Salsa

      Black-Bean-and-Corn-Salsa-9

      Every summer when the corn and tomatoes start showing up at the farmers market I make a batch of black bean and corn salsa.  Nothing tastes better along side a good grilled steak or chicken or as a topper for your favorite taco.  Plus I could eat it all day with nothing but tortilla chips.  It’s completely vegetarian and packed with everything good for you.  I found these little cast iron half pint kettles at a Lodge Factory Outlet in the little town of South Pittsburg, TN, near the Alabama border.  What a store. . . they have almost anything you could dream of, if you’re into cast iron.  A little room at the back has some great bargains on many of the cast iron skillets, dutch ovens some other items listed having a scratch or blemish.  I couldn’t find anything wrong with them and came home with a large 12 inch skillet, a griddle/grill and these mini kettles.

    • Herb Butter with Green Chile

      Herbed-Butter-9

      Looks sinful huh!  Actually it doesn’t seem that bad after the Kookamonga burger challenge Joe and I witnessed in Memphis.  We went to this little joint called Kooky Canuck where they make these monster burgers filled with 4, 6 or 8 pounds of ground beef alone.  We watched while a young couple (ironically they were from KC) attempted the 2 person challenge of eating a burger with 6 pounds of meat loaded with an additional 6 pounds of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and bun.  If they completed the challenge in 1 hour or less they ate for free.   I knew they were doomed when it was announced that the burger was a mere  18,000 calories.  If you could see the eyes on the young girl, you would know she was about to freak out!  So while we may be in a butter coma for the evening, I think we’ll survive.  As long as we don’t do this very often.  Once a year or so I treat my guys to a steak dinner with all the trimmings and Father’s day seemed like the perfect time.  Firing up the grill for some grilled corn on the cob and a medium rare rib-eye steak is about as good as it gets, but add a little herb butter and you’ve got something extra special.  You certainly don’t have to add green chile, but it sure does spice it up.  I planted some herbs earlier in the Spring that are coming along quite nicely so I snipped some chives, parlsley and thyme plus I had some cilantro in the fridge. Along with some salt and green chile this butter makes any meal special.  Just don’t do it too often!
