I'll be smoking a whole chicken that I will soon be taking out of the brine I've had it in for 4.5 hours. Going to use my new auber pid I received early for fathers day. Looking forward to using it. Will also slice up some potatos and put in foil with butter and onions and peppers for a little grill action. Adult beverages will also be in the mix as well.

Happy Father's day to the rest of the dad's out there.

I told the wife I wanted to have some of my friends over with their families and have a cook-out/pool party. I had a whole beef tenderloin that I got a while back so I decided to roast that. No slow and low for this cow. I seared it and then roasted it until the IT was 120. I made some bernaise sauce and my own special red wine reduction sauce... MMMMMM Great Eats...

DM - I like German food too - being German. There's a local German restaurant. After getting my appetizer of two potato pancakes for $8.00 I crossed them off my list.

Snelly - The tenderloin sounds good. I love the Bernaise but it's really 'rich'.

Sounds like everyone had a good day, pizza included ;D

Personally, I am not a big fan of the Bearnaise sauce. I just make it cause my guests seem to like it. I like the red wine sauce best but some people are turned off from the shrooms.

Snelly - You didn't mention the shrooms in your post.

I like any kind any way. My father was from Germany and he knew which ones to pick in the woods. I wouldn't trust my self on that.

Yeah I sauteed some shrooms in my sauce. The wife doesnt like the shrooms but she loves the sauce??? Here's what I did
suateed shrooms in EVOO and the drippings from the seared tenderloin
red wine
beef broth
garlic
milk
and I used sour cream to thinkin the sauce (usually use cream but ran out)

I was know to pick a few shrooms back in my younger daze.... ;D :-X
