On Saturday when buying my favorite mozzarella cheese from Trader Joe’s I happened to see baby back pork ribs. The weather in Seattle has been/ always is awesome…but for this past Memorial Day weekend the weather was sick…so I knew I was grilling. I have never made ribs and on Saturday all my thoughts were about just buying them and I’ll figure out how to make them later. FAST FORWARD… Sunday! Ash and I headed to the Mariners game at 1pm. The entire game I was thinking…how the hell am I going to make the ribs. I knew I was going to BBQ. So while the Angels were beating the Mariners I was researching how to BBQ the perfect ribs. WOW WOW WOW! There…

Slow Cooker Chipotle Chili Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Green Apple Coleslaw

Posted on May 23, 2012

I have always wanted a slow cooker but was always too frugal when it came down to purchasing one…just couldn’t rationalize such an investment for making cocktail weenies twice a year :0) So for our wedding, I registered for the largest Cuisinart slow cooker I could find (go big or go home) so that I could start experimenting with new recipes. This was the first meal (of many to come) and it turned out delicious…. My colleague/buddy Brandon is from Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk- style!)…one day while we were eating lunch from RoRo BBQ in Wallingford, he told me that he had an awesome slow cooker pulled pork recipe. Being from Kansas and knowing his love for BBQ, I thought we would give his…

Posted on May 15, 2012

Today starts Ash and I’s forth racing Season with the Tipsy Gypsy on Lake Union. The sailboat we race along with a crew of 6 to 19 (tonight) is a Soverel 33′ captained by Wendell. Every Tuesday between now and Sept we race. Rain or shine we race. We have met several friends, brought clients and partied many of nights aboard the Typsy Gypsy. If you know us pretty well you have undoubtedly seen the custom neon sign the crew bought Ashley and I hanging in our living room/ kitchen. Since this is my 4th year I can admit that I still do not know how to sail at all…but my duty on board is cooking. And I love it. I man our Sea-BQue…

Beer can chicken

theseattlecook

Posted on May 14, 2012

Yeah you heard that right…beer can chicken. In my case Schmidt’s Beer can chicken. My older brother has been BBQing this for the past couple years and I have always wanted to try but just never did. With the weather heating up in Seattle…our classic Monday night soups are basically done. So I opened the top of a beer with a can opener, poured out half and ramped it up the chicken’s ass. Here is the dry rub I used for the chicken…salt, black pepper, chilli powder, paprika, garlic powder, lil cumin, onion powder, mustard powder, lil curry and a lil ground cayenne. Heat up the BBQ between 250 to 350 degrees. Place the chicken on the grill (it will balance do not worry).…

I love that saying (title)! This weekend Ash went out of town for the Vancouver half marathon (with Maggie and Mrs. Hayes). Whether you can tell through this blog or not…Ash and I are both pretty competitive with each other, cooking wise. So I took this opportunity while she was away to cook. Here is how the weekend went down… Saturday morning 10:30am Ash left to Vancouver. I woke up and listened to Motley Crue and Beastie Boys while getting ready. First thing first…get a pork tenderloin…if you will remember last weekend we BBQ’d Costco burgers and so this week I decided let’s do pork. The boxing fight was on this weekend so I knew my dad and brother would be occupied watching sports…

Costco burgers

theseattlecook

Posted on April 30, 2012

Let me say I did not think this would turn into a post…all I wanted to do was BBQ hamburgers. Between the recent CNBC’s The Costco craze and the taste of the burger, I had to share this with you. Before I go on…the CNBC look at Costco is sick. Did you know that the $1.50 hotdogs has been the same since 1985 and they sell over 100 million a year. I do not know about you but I honestly think Costco hotdogs are the best in the world period (there are a bunch of close second place ones though, including Taxi Dog and random ones at 2am all over Seattle). This post is about Costco Burgers. As such I did not even have…

Ashley was in a better mood today when she picked me up…maybe it was because Maggie was in the car 😎 Went to Whole Foods again…there is no getting away with the fact that typically when I leave work Pike Market is closed. Earlier in the day Ash texted me and said she wanted to do Strawberry, Mango and parsley ish kind of chutney with spicy grilled chicken…NOT another chicken this week (unless it was beer can chicken). I suggested Halibut and she was game. Prior to leaving the office I was telling Daniel (business partner since 16) that I was going to make halibut…he suggested…butter poached; I commited then and there butter poached. The reason tonight’s dinner will have to be two posts…

Grilled Chicken 101

theseattlecook

Posted on April 23, 2012

In celebration of the wonderful weather we are having, Maggie and I thought we would try our luck at the grill tonight. We wanted to keep it light so we made iceberg wedge salads with grilled chicken and shrimp. I tend to overcook my chicken because I have a fear of under-cooking and killing myself (and others)…but I think we finally nailed it. First, take 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and put them in a 1 gallon plastic zip-lock bag. Take a meat tenderizer and tenderize/flatten the chicken out until it is about .75″ to 1″ thick….VERY IMPORTANT! Open the bag and lightly coat the chicken inside the bag with a thin dusting of garlic powder, fresh black pepper and Montreal steak seasoning on…
