The Coffee House

[RowdyRay]

Well the snow finally stopped early this morning. The airport says 8", we got at least 10". The patio table was cleaned off, and measured AFTER I got home from work. Sounds like we get a repeat this weekend. Sunday into Monday. Uggh! Next Wednesday.....60.

Not sure I'll plant any gardens this year. The flower garden (north side) will be under snow until June and the vegetable garden (east side) will be under snow well after the normal planting date. Even if I intervene.

You guys trip over them and they practically give them away. IF I can find one, it's 8.00/Lbs.

Same here, if you do find them, at a price you can afford, shoe leather would be more tender.

Then you're cooking or slicing it wrong. Much like a brisket, get it right, it's awesome.

I still have friends who use them instead of coffee.

Coffee is a ritual for me though...I'd have a hard time giving it up.

Same here. My morning wouldn't be the same without that first cup of coffee on the patio.

Taking on a Brisket as your first Kamado experience is a bit audacious.

That's basically what I told him. That and, GOOGLE!

Very jealous of you and your tri tips. You guys trip over them and they practically give them away. IF I can find one, it's 8.00/Lbs. Couple summers ago, a local chain store got a truck load in for 4.00/Lbs. Bought 10. Vac'd and froze. Long gone. Awesome if done right.

Tri-Tip is a lower quality cut. Butchers used to turn the Tri-Tip area into hamburger. As you pointed out, if prepped and cooked right ...it turns into Prime Rib. On sale, it’s $2.99 a pound. The one last night was from Costco. Often, in other parts of the country Tri-tip is also called Santa Maria Cut, California Cut, Newport Steak. For $2.99, it is quite flavorful and a bargain.

@ Terri: Gary has just returned from visiting K&L Wine Merchants. A Disneyland for wine lovers. A warehouse setup by wine type and country of origin. It was nice to find wines from vineyards Mary Lou and Gary have visited. Gary picked up a French, Spanish, Willamette and Edna.

The last one we tried was a "premarinated" one that we got at Sams. The samples they were handing out were a little on the tough side, but not like the one we brought home. We followed the cooking instructions on the label. I thought it might have to do with how we were cutting but it seem to make little difference how it was cut, and the after taste from the meat was horrible. We ended up pitching it. I've never found one in the stores unless it's in one of the "premarinated" packages.

The Tri-Tip Gary cooked for Easter received raves from all the guests and what little Tri-Tip that was left-over went home with the guests in doggie bags.

Don't doubt it. We just don't seem to have the same available here.

I should already be asleep.
Have a good night and a better tomorrow if at all possible.

Sounds fun! You'll have to let me know what you think of the Willamette - I'm assuming that's a pinot. I still hold that the best pinot comes from Willamette Valley. Special climate.

Santa Rita Hills ... (a specialier climate).

Buenos Dias Coffee and non-Coffee hosers. On the gray and cool morning Gary is sipping his first cup of coffee in .... mmmh ... ten days. Fresh ground and siphon brewed ... a wonderful morning eye opener and a treat well worth getting out of bed.

4.75 and a minute or two today.
Hung a request box for Trish.
Tomorrow I'll hang some keyboard pull outs. Wouldn't know a wine from one place or another.
